Makita XRU15PT 36V Brushless String Trimmer Kit (5.0Ah)

Landscapers are increasingly requesting cordless options for gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita has responded to this demand by expanding their range of cordless OPE, offering the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (model XRU15PT). This cordless string trimmer provides a solution for landscapers with zero emissions, reduced noise, and less maintenance compared to gas-powered alternatives.

The 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless String Trimmer is powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT Batteries, delivering maximum power and run time without the need for a separate 36V battery platform. Electronic controls efficiently manage battery energy to adjust to the demands of the application, providing increased power and speed when necessary. Additionally, the string trimmer rotates in the same counter-clockwise direction as professional-grade trimmers and utilizes industry standard spindles for added convenience.

The XRU15PT kit includes two fast-charging 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. The trimmer is equipped with a Makita BL brushless motor, ensuring longer run time, increased power, speed, and tool life. The BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy usage for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge compared to non-brushless tools.

Featuring Makita Extreme Protection Technology (XPT), the XRU15PT is designed to operate effectively in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust away from key internal components. The tool is part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, which is powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries known for their fast charge times. To enhance tool performance and battery life, Makita has implemented Star Protection Computer Controls, allowing real-time data exchange between the tool and battery to prevent overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The Makita-built Outer Rotor BL Brushless Motor direct-drive system provides high power and increased torque, while the Automatic Torque Drive Technology mode shifts automatically between 3,500-6,500 RPM for extended run time or added power. The trimmer offers 3 speed options (Low: 3,500 RPM, Medium: 5,300 RPM, High: 6,500 RPM) for efficient power management and a 15" cutting swath for improved productivity. Additionally, it includes a bump and feed trimmer head loaded with 0.080" twisted quiet line.

Overall, the Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (model XRU15PT) provides landscapers with a versatile, efficient, and convenient alternative to gas-powered outdoor power equipment.
