The Makita DUR181RT 18v LXT Cordless Line Trimmer kit includes 1 x 5Ah 18v LXT battery and DC18RC fast charger. This Makita cordless line trimmer is part of the LXT family of tools, compatible with all 18v LXT batteries and features a 260mm diameter cutting head. It is lightweight (2.6kg) and well balanced with the battery situated under the main handle so it is not part of the pendulum swing and therefore reduces user fatigue.

The main shaft has an adjustment range of 180mm for comfortable height adjustment and the strimming head has a 5 position pivoting head for perfect working posture. The single line head is bump feed and features a metal bump head for longer life and is easy to rewind with new trimmer cord. The on-off switch has a safety button to prevent accidental operation and a light to indicate low and empty battery status.

    I purchased this strimmer after a recommendation from a colleague and I have not been disappointed! It is lighter and more manoeuvrable compared to my previous mains-corded strimmer and the swivel mechanism is very convenient. The battery is very light but the motor appear powerful – it coped with ‘normal’ edge grass strimming with ease and also coped with some heavier grass clumps. I did 300 metres of light grass strimming easily without needing to recharge the 5AH battery. So far, so good.

  2. Mark Hopkinson (verified owner)

    It’s a strimmer and does what pretty much every other strimmer does in exactly the same way, but by far the biggest advantage of this one is the 5Ah battery that lasts a surprisingly long time even when in constant use and will recharge fully in less than twenty minutes. Take advantage of the Makita offer of a free additional spare battery if you purchase before the end of this month – June 2021 – and you will have a strimmer ready to use at any time.

    I recently brought a DUR181RT , speedy delivery from R&T
    Great addition to my lxt kit, even better it qualifies for the free 5ah battery from makita which is on it’s way
    Great deal imo ;)

  4. Ian S (verified owner)

    Excellent quality, well balanced and easy to use with the shoulder strap for a long period of time. Line feed takes a bit of getting used to but works well when you get the hang of it. 5Ah battery lasts about an hour of constant use even with some relatively tough grass and weeds. The offer of a free battery from Makita is brilliant and very easy t o secure.

    Great light weight grass strimmer, love that you can turn it sideways to trim edge of grass.
    No more petrol fumes, better for health and the environment.
    Fast delivery.

  6. Sharon O’Sullivan

    Great light weight hedge trimmer, used it to cut a tough hedge no problem, no more breathing in petrol fumes.
    Will be investing in a petrol lawnmower and bush cutter in the future.
    Fast delivery thumbs up from me.
