Product Details
Landscapers are increasingly seeking cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment, and Makita responds with the 18V X2 (36V) LXT® Brushless Cordless String Trimmer, tool only (model XRU15Z). This trimmer features zero emissions, lower noise, and significantly reduced maintenance compared to traditional gas-powered models, powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT batteries (sold separately) for maximum power and runtime without departing from the preferred 18V battery platform. The electronic controls optimize battery energy usage to adapt to changing application demands, delivering increased power and speed as necessary. Operated in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers, it utilizes industry-standard spindles (M10X1.25 LH) for convenience. The robust Makita® BL™ Brushless Motor enhances runtime and power, providing up to 50% longer runtime per charge than non-brushless alternatives, while the outer rotor brushless motor with direct drive maximizes power and torque. The XRU15Z also incorporates Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a protective seal designed for improved functionality in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust away from internal components. It is part of Makita's 18V LXT system, known as the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries, which offer the fastest charge times in their class, resulting in more operational time and less downtime. The trimmer's dimensions and additional specifications are designed for optimal performance and user convenience in landscaping tasks.
