The Makita DUX18RT is an 18V LXT cordless split-shaft power head, designed for a wide range of garden and agricultural applications. It features a brushless, maintenance-free, and long-life motor with a maximum output of 470W. The tool offers variable speed control via a trigger dial, matching speed to the application, along with soft start and electric brake functions for safety. Constant speed control ensures consistent performance under load. Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) shuts down the tool if rotation speed drops suddenly, and eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT) enhances durability. The split shaft design allows for tool-less attachment of various accessories such as hedge trimmers, line trimmers, brush cutters, and pole saws. It includes a loop handle, overload protection, and a two-stage safety trigger to minimize accidental starts. The DUX18RT comes with a 5.0Ah Li-ion battery and a DC18RC charger. Specifications include a no-load speed of 0-6,800/0-9,700 rpm and a net weight of 2.8 kg (with battery). The color is Blue/Turquoise.
