30mm Cordless Brushless Electric Pruning Shears Secateur Cutting Tool Branch Cutter Scissor For Makita-Skin 18V Battery Only Blue

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these electric shears work with my existing Makita 18V battery?

Yes, these cordless brushless shears are fully compatible with Makita 18V Li-ion batteries including the BL1830, BL1830B, BL1840, BL1840B, BL1850, BL1850B, and BL1860B models. If you already own a Makita 18V battery, you can use it straight away with these shears. Just note that the battery itself isn't included in this purchase—you'll need to have your own Makita battery on hand.

How thick can these shears cut through?

These brushless electric pruning shears can cut through branches up to 30mm thick (about 1.2 inches). They feature 4 adjustable gear settings—5mm, 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm—so you can select the right cutting mode depending on the thickness of what you're trimming. This makes them versatile for everything from delicate grape vines to thicker apple tree branches.

How quickly will my order arrive, and what's the return policy?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on all orders, so you won't pay extra for delivery anywhere across the country. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, we have a straightforward 30-day returns policy, giving you plenty of time to test the shears and make sure they're right for you. Just contact us within 30 days if you need to return or exchange your order.

Are these shears suitable for use in Australian gardens and orchards?

Absolutely. These cordless electric pruners are ideal for Australian outdoor applications including gardens, parks, farms, orchards, greenhouses, and large pastures. Whether you're maintaining fruit trees like apples and cherries, trimming grapevines, or clearing firewood branches, the lightweight cordless design makes them perfect for our Australian climate and landscape. The ergonomic, shockproof handle is comfortable for extended use even in hot weather.

What makes these better than traditional manual secateurs?

Unlike old-fashioned manual pruning scissors, these brushless electric shears do the hard work for you. The high-carbon steel blades powered by a brushless motor cut through thick branches with minimal effort—you can handle 30mm branches that would be exhausting with hand tools. The cordless design means no tangled cords around the garden, and you can work anywhere without being tethered to a power point. Plus, the auto-shutoff safety feature kicks in after 30 seconds of inactivity, so you're not constantly holding down a trigger.

What's the weight and will it be tiring to use for long periods?

These shears are designed to be lightweight and compact for easy one-handed operation. The ergonomic handle features shockproof and anti-slip design, making them comfortable to use for extended periods without hand fatigue. This is particularly helpful if you're spending hours trimming hedges, maintaining fruit trees, or clearing garden waste across a large property.

What happens if the battery runs out mid-job?

The shears are compatible with all standard Makita 18V batteries, so if your battery runs down, you can simply swap it out for a fully charged one and keep working. This makes them practical for larger jobs where you might need multiple batteries on rotation. The actual runtime will depend on your battery capacity and the thickness of material you're cutting.
