Makita 18V x 2 (36V) LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head W/String Trimmer Attachment (Tool Only)

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE that includes the 18-Volt X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36-Volt) Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head. With zero emissions, lower noise and maximum versatility, the Power Head is a welcome solution for a range of trimming and cutting applications. It's powered by two 18-Volt LXT batteries (sold separately) for maximum performance and run time without the hassles of gas and without leaving the 18-Volt battery platform. The Power Head is compatible with a variety of optional couple shaft attachments, with a lever style lock system for quick tool-less installation and replacement. It can be used with multiple attachments for trimming, edging, cultivating and brush cutting (sold separately). Note that kit XUX01ZM5 includes string trimmer attachment. 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. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed.
