Makita XRU15PT String Trimmer Kit, Battery Included, 5 Ah, 18 V, Lithium-Ion, 3-Speed, 0.08 in Dia Line, Loop Handle

Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line-up of cordless OPE, including the 18 V X2 (36 V) LXT® brushless cordless string trimmer kit (model XRU15PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, the 18 V X2 (36 V) LXT cordless string trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It's powered by two fast-charging 18 V LXT batteries for maximum power and runtime, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18 V battery platform. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. In addition, the string trimmer rotates in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers and uses industry standard spindles (M10 x 1.25 LH) for added convenience. Model XRU15PT is a kit and includes two fast-charging 18 V LXT 5 Ah batteries and an efficient 18 V dual-port rapid optimum charger. Makita® built outer rotor BL™ motor direct-drive system provides high-power and increased torque Automatic torque drive technology mode automatically shifts from 3500 to 6500 rpm for extended runtime or added power Three-speed options (low 3500 rpm, medium 5300 rpm, high 6500 rpm) for power management 15 in cutting swath for increased productivity Includes bump and feed trimmer head loaded with 0.08 in twisted quiet line Reverse rotation function allows operator to quickly clear trimmer head of entangled grass and weeds Adjustable loop handle for operator comfort Extreme protection technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh jobsite conditions Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over discharging and over heating
