Presenting the Mechota (Makita + Echo) Power Head

I was able to get a killer deal on a Makita power head on Black Friday ($99), but already owned a bunch of Echo PAS attachments.  So...  I hope everyone can please forgive me; at least it's not red and blue right!?!

In case anyone is wondering, the RPMs matched perfect, but no this is not a normal thing to do.  Required welding and shimming out Makita's shaft tube as the Echo clamp assembly is made for a bigger sized tube.

Works like a champ.  Best power head I've used and the smoothest my Echo PAS attachments have ever felt, and there are a lot of Echo PAS attachments too:

Did some edging and to my amazement, the blade never bogged down at all.  Highly impressed with the way it turned out.
