Makita XRU18Z LXT 18V X2 (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless String Trimmer (Tool-Only)

Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding collection of string trimmers, including the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (XRU18Z). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless String Trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. The XRU18Z has the power equivalent to a 30cc gas string trimmer. The efficient Makita BL Brushless Motor delivers longer run time, more power and speed and longer tool life. With a 17 in. cutting swath, the XRU18 provides increased productivity. The steel drive shaft provides less vibration and longer equipment life. The String Trimmer features Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It's part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
