Makita XRU15PT String Trimmer

This trimmer uses two 18V LXT batteries simultaneously to deliver 36V of power. This configuration provides the high-torque performance of a gas-powered tool while maintaining compatibility with your existing 18V Makita battery ecosystem.

Yes, the brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize energy use, which matches torque to the application. This results in longer run times, less maintenance, and a more consistent power output compared to traditional brushed motors.

While the dual-battery setup adds some weight, the tool is balanced to minimize fatigue during extended use. Its ergonomic design is intended to make maneuvering around landscaping and obstacles manageable for most users.

The kit comes with the string trimmer, two 5.0Ah 18V LXT batteries, and a dual-port charger. It is a complete package, so you have everything required to begin trimming immediately.

Runtime depends on the density of the vegetation and the speed setting used. With the included 5.0Ah batteries, you can expect significant run time for standard residential lawn maintenance, though heavy-duty clearing will consume power faster.
