Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless String Trimmer, Tool Only Description

Introducing the Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer – a tool designed for landscapers seeking cordless, eco-friendly alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. This string trimmer emits zero emissions, produces less noise, and requires significantly less maintenance than its gas-powered counterparts. It’s powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT Batteries (sold separately) for maximum power and run time, allowing landscapers to remain on their preferred 18V battery platform.

The Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer features electronic controls to manage battery energy efficiently, adapting power and speed according to the demands of the application. It also rotates in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers and uses standard spindles (M10x1.25 LH), adding convenience to its performance.

Built with Makita’s efficient BL™ brushless motor, the Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer delivers longer run time, more power and speed, and longer tool life. The electronically controlled motor optimizes battery use, providing up to 50% longer run time per charge compared to similar non-brushless tools. Additionally, the Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer comes with a Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless Motor with direct drive, promising high power and increased torque.

The Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer also comes equipped with Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), an internal protective seal engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions. XPT effectively channels water and dust from key internal components of the tool.

The Makita XRU15Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless String Trimmer is a part of Makita’s growing 18V LXT System, the world’s most extensive cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. These batteries offer the fastest charge times in their class, so your tools spend more time working and less time charging.

For optimal tool performance and battery life, Makita integrates Star Protection Computer Controls™. This technology allows real-time data exchange between the tool and battery, monitoring conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool is also compatible with Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries, indicated by a star symbol on the battery denoting Star Protection inside.
