Description

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 18V X2 (36V) LXT Brushless Cordless String Trimmer Kit (model XRU15PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, the 18V X2 (36V) LXT Cordless String Trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. It's powered by two fast-charging 18V LXT Batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the strongly-preferred 18V 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 (M10x1. 25 LH) for added convenience. Model XRU15PT is a kit and includes two fast-charging 18V LXT 5. 0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. With the efficient Makita BL brushless motor, the trimmer delivers longer run time, more power and speed, and longer tool life. Makita's efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. The XRU15PT features a Makita-built Outer Rotor Brushless Motor with direct drive which provides high power and increased torque. The String Trimmer 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. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection- equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

    • Whacking Great Tool
Style: Trimmer Kit 2/ 4 Batteries
Review Image by J. Foster J. Foster
I have been using a Makita RBC251 trimmer for more than 20 years. That model has a gas engine (2 stroke) which has worked well all those years, powerful, well balanced and a good deal lighter than the 4 stroke trimmers of that time. But it was time for a change, I decided to get the Makita 36 volt model. OK then, here is how this electric version compares to my old 2 stroke Makita tool. First off, the weight and balance are very close (Makita engineers probably used that old tool as a reference point) and they look pretty much alike as well. The electric version is quiet and doesn't require mixing gas and oil or any arm straining starting exercises --- but it does have a significant lag in spin-up time. Gas version spin-up to full speed was less than a second vs the electric at three times that. I should mention that I was using FULL POWER. My weed cutting action is typically tall weeds and some with thick stems. I tried the two lower power settings and quickly decided full power was what I needed. In that mode, it had equal power to my old gas trimmer (impressive!). Battery life was fair at that setting and for my use. I got 40 minutes of use before I was down to half charge (two bars). I estimate a reasonable run time to be 1 hour so that I would leave some charge in the Li-ion battery pair. Recharge on the new (discharged) batteries was about 2 1/2 hours. From the half charge state, about an hour. Getting an extra set of batteries with the tool ensures I will be able to do any weeding needed in one continuous session. I am very satisfied with this new tool and I do recommend it. Update: The trimmer cord (green) that comes with it was used up at about 1 1/2 hours. It required many "taps" and broke off a couple of times. After the second break, I took out the remaining cord and tossed it. The cord used on my Makita gas trimmer was .095 dia (Orange) vs the .080 (Green) trimmer cord. I put that Orange cord on the electric Makita. It was much better! It lasts a lot longer (fewer taps needed) and it cuts better at medium power. So much better that I ran it at med power for all of my lesser weed cutting needs. Makita says use .08-.09 dia. cord and the .095 is the closest larger size, though the trimmer head is rated for several larger size cords. Bottom line: The Orange cord works better on this 36V trimmer IMHO. ... show more

    • Electric Love!
Style: Trimmer Kit 2/ 4 Batteries
Best electric weed trimmer ever! I’ve gone through several weed trimmers, both gas and electric. This one easily hangs with the best of them. For the homeowner, the 4 batteries is enough to have one set fully charged while the other is in use. We have a half-acre plot with plenty of shrubs, trees, sidewalk, and rock edging that all need cleanup with the trimmer. I can do our entire lot at full power at least 4x before needing to swap out the batteries. It’s plenty powerful enough for everything I’ve thrown at it and never had it stall out once. It’s plenty light enough, no obnoxious 2-stroke noise or smoke, and has instant power with no constant throttle bumping to keep it alive. No carb cleanout every spring! No fuel mixing or storage! No 2-stroke oil! Bonus that the batteries are Makita standard and can be used in other portable tools. I’m an ICE gearhead, but this electric trimmer has converted me for life! ... show more

    • Best Edger
Style: Trimmer Kit w/ 2 Batteries
This is a great and powerful edger. If trimming near rocks it will launch them. Use eye safety gear and cover lower legs and ankles.

    • Worth it.
Style: Trimmer Kit w/ 2 Batteries
Full transparency, I have a bunch of other Makita tools, so this made sense. Tired of mixing gas/oil? Tired of the vibration & the noise? Same. Strange enough, I like that you can select from three speed settings. Seems easier to schwack what you're working on that way. Overall, this is worth the money. Two 5ah batteries, a dual charger, and a quiet/smooth string trimmer that lasts plenty long for my 1-acre. Nicely done Makita. Nicely done. ... show more

I read recently here on Amazon a response by a Makita rep where someone asked what country are these manufactured? The Makita rep stated that was of no importance as the QA is the same no matter what country. Well, I beg to differ..here's your proof. After receiving the product today I've discovered poorly written manuals that didn't pass a QA spell check, a QA grammar check or usage accuracy. Image #1 - what is a "Coun-tire" Image #2 - the sentence begins "With finish of charge," - poorly written grammar how about "When the charge is finished" Image #3 - that nylon head appears used but outside of this, on Page 12 of the Cordless Grass Trimmer Manual, nowhere does the manual state to Thread the Nylon Head in Reverse. I tried for 15 minutes thinking this was a poorly threaded shaft when I recalled plumbers thread in reverse, let's give that a try. Sure enough, the nylon head threaded. Image #4 - the charging station - when the charging station is facing the consumer, it's not obvious to lift the plastic clip on the rear of the battery to release the battery from the charging station. Is it too much trouble to put one sentence in a manual? Outside of the images above, let's head back to page 12 in the manual of the Trimmer: that hex wrench in the diagram shows "5. Tighten" and "6. Loosen". This should be Lock and Unlock as there's no threading involved, it's an up or down positioning to lock the shaft in place. Somewhat confusing as nothing can be tightened or loosened. Actual Usage: With respect to the Trimmer unit itself, it's got plenty of power on the middle speed. In fact the high speed was not utilized. The unit to cut through all types of weeds, very thick grass and even areas of wild mountain blackberry and stinging nettles. The slowest speed is ideal for areas where there may be gravel or other small rocks. This will aid in your safety and any nearby windows. The weight with two batteries is quite manageable and the life of the 5.0 amp batteries is excellent. I had plenty left over to use the Makita blower after approx an hour and still did not drain the batteries. The included stringer didn't break once. ... show more
