The Makita 198516-8 Long Handle Attachment is an extension handle for select Makita grass shears, including the 18V LXT 6-5/16-in. Grass Shear (XMU04, sold separately) and the 18V LXT 4-5/16-in. Grass Shear (XMU05, sold separately). This is a grass shear handle attachment designed for trimming edges and borders from an upright position. Model number 198516-8.

Handheld grass shears are precise, but working bent over or on your knees gets old fast. The 198516-8 lets the shear be used in an upright, standing position for greater user comfort on long edging and border jobs.

Five-stage angle adjustment lets you set the angle between handle and shear head to suit the cut, whether you are trimming lawn edges, around landscape beds, or along walkways.

The attachment installs quickly and easily, so you can go back to handheld use when you need close detail work.

Landscapers, property managers, and homeowners who already own an XMU04 or XMU05 should add this handle. It turns a detail tool into a stand-up edging tool and saves your back.
