Introducing the XRU18Z Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer, a powerful solution from Makita to meet the increasing demands of landscapers for more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, this trimmer provides all the power and performance of a 30cc gas string trimmer, but without the hassles associated with gas-powered tools.

At the heart of the XRU18Z Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer is Makita’s efficient BL™ Brushless Motor, designed to deliver longer run time, more power, and speed, and extended tool life. With a wide 17” cutting swath, it offers increased productivity. The steel drive shaft further enhances the tool’s lifespan and significantly reduces vibration.

Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) adds a protective seal inside the XRU18Z Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer. It’s engineered for superior operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust away from the tool’s key internal components.

As part of Makita’s ever-expanding 18V LXT® System, the largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries, the XRU18Z Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer guarantees optimal performance. While batteries and charger are not included with this particular model, it can be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries. These batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, which means less downtime and more productivity.

Makita’s Star Protection Computer Controls™ further improve tool performance and extend battery life. This advanced technology allows for real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

Key features include power equivalent to a 30cc gas string trimmer, a Makita-built BL™ Brushless Motor, a 17” cutting swath, variable speed trigger switch, steel drive shaft, 3 speed options, Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode, reverse rotation function, and an adjustable loop handle. The XRU18Z Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer also incorporates Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) and is equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™. The package includes a bump and feed trimmer head loaded with 0.080” twisted quiet line. Batteries and charger are sold separately.
