The 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless String Trimmer (XRU02Z, tool only) is a versatile solution for landscape cutting and trimming, but without gasoline or a cord. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt LXT series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion battery. The Makita 18-Volt LXT battery has the fastest charge time in its category, so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The XRU02Z delivers 7,800 RPM and up to 45 minutes of run time on a single charge of the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0 Ah battery (sold separately). It has several advantages over gas powered trimmers: the XRU02Z has zero emissions and reduced maintenance, with no need for gas or oil. For users, the tool is always ready to use: simply load a fully-charged 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion battery and get to work. Versatility features include a telescoping shaft to adjust the length of the tool, a 180° rotating head with 5 adjustable positions, an adjustable loop handle and more. It weighs only 6.4 lbs. with battery (sold separately).

It’s a very simple design and doesn’t require tools to assemble.This is for trimming grass and small weeds only.It’s not for trimming thick weeds or brush.I already had 4 batteries and the dual charger from another purchase.

So far, so good. Great tool! It is light, not too big for me to handle (I am 5ft tall) and it does a great job.

First electric string trimmer of any kind I have ever owned. I have used other manufacturers and was not impressed.I purchased this because it was a Makita and am very happy with the operation and results. It is as powerful as the Craftsman Gas Trimmer I had been using and best of all it is 10 times quieter and I just slip the battery in and pull the trigger.

Works well for normal lawn maintenance. Happy with the product, it’s light, easy to use and love using a battery. my yard takes about an hour and I have no problem with the battery working the entire time.

When you use it, you just have to be careful to make sure that the weight is balanced to make it easy to use. The handle’s position isn’t perfectly balanced so you have to make sure you adjust yourself.

This Makita cordless string trimmer is lightweight easy to use and most of all it works. I love that it is compatible with the battery I use for my cordless drill/driver.
