Product Details
Landscapers are increasingly seeking cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita® is responding with its 18V X2 (36V) LXT brushless cordless string trimmer kit (model XRU15PT1). This trimmer kit includes two fast-charging 18V LXT batteries, enhancing power and run time while remaining within the 18V battery platform. It features electronic controls that adjust battery energy usage to meet varying application demands, providing increased power and speed when necessary. The string trimmer operates in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade models and uses industry-standard spindles (M10x1.25 LH). The efficient Makita BL brushless motor contributes to longer run time, greater power and speed, and extended tool life, optimizing battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time compared to similar non-brushless tools. The XRU15PT is equipped with a Makita-built outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive, delivering high power and increased torque. Additionally, it features Makita® Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), a protective seal that channels water and dust away from internal components for improved operation in harsh conditions. As part of the extensive 18V LXT system, this string trimmer benefits from the fastest charge times among its category, ensuring more working time and less downtime. It also includes Star Protection Technology, which enhances tool performance and extends battery life.
