Description
With 0 emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 18V X2 (model XRU11Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately) cordless string trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It’s compatible with Makitas fast-charging 18V LXT batteries, and features an efficient Makita BL brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The efficient brushless motor delivers up to 6,000 RPM for faster cutting. The XRU11Z is equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology, which automatically shifts from 4,000-6,000 RPM depending on the density of the application. There are three speed options (4,000/5,000/6,000 RPM), allowing users to match the speed to the application. On the high setting, users will get up to 40 minutes under load while using an 18V LXT 5.0 Ah battery (sold separately). Additional features include a full 11-3/4 in. cutting swath, an easy-loading bump-and-feed trimmer head, and reverse rotation that allows users to quickly clear the head of entangled grass and weeds. The XRU11Z accepts industry standard M8x1.25 LH spindles. The XRU11Z 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.

Makita loyalist for decades due to performance value. Big fan of the 18V tools. This trimmer rivals my premium gas unit’s power and offers lighter weight and simpler operation and maintenance. Love it!
Shana Flatley (verified owner) –
This was a Christmas gift and it is winter so has not been used yet. He was very excited to get it. Hope it lives up to the Makita name. Rating given is by Makita name alone.
Perry Schneider (verified owner) –
Quiet, powerful, line feeds well, typical well designed Mikita tool
Rudy Jenkins (verified owner) –
Great tool to add to my Makita Cordless collection. I am able to mow my lawn, take a battery out and pop it in the trimmer, edge the lawn, then take both batteries and put them in my blower. In 30 minutes I was done with my backyard (which is about 1800/SF). No cords, no gas, no loud noise. Easy Easy Easy!

The string trimmer was not packaged well. One part came lose from the motor and caused some time lost in assembly as it is not shown on the diagrams. Once I realized where it went, all was easy to assemble. It works good.

I already had some Makita 18 volt batteries so I got the tool only. I like it except for the fact that I can’t change out the head for an aftermarket one.
