Makita DUX18ZX1 Cordless Multi Function Power Head 18V LXT BL AFT XPT [Battery and Charger are Sold Separately]

Description

• All-in-one Starter Kit: This “ZX1” configuration typically includes the EM408MP Grass Trimmer attachment, providing a complete solution for lawn edging and clearing right out of the box.

• Efficient 18V LXT Power: Optimized for users already on the 18V platform, offering a lightweight alternative to gas-powered trimmers with zero emissions and significantly lower noise levels.

• High-Torque Brushless (BL) Motor: Located in the handle area to improve the tool’s balance and center of gravity; it delivers up to 9,700 RPM for professional-grade cutting performance.

• AFT (Active Feedback sensing Technology): An advanced safety feature that senses if the cutting tool is suddenly forced to lock (like hitting a fence post) and electronically cuts power to prevent kickback.

• Tool-less Attachment System: Features a simple slide-joint mechanism with a locking lever, allowing you to swap the trimmer head for a pole saw, hedge trimmer, or blower (sold separately) in seconds.

• 2-Speed & Variable Trigger: Allows you to toggle between a high-power mode for thick weeds and a low-power mode to conserve battery during light trimming.

• XPT (Extreme Protection Technology): Built to withstand the “real world” of gardening; the internal components are sealed to resist dust and water splashes during damp mornings or dusty summer afternoons.

• Reverse Switch: While the DUX18 is compact, it still includes the ability to briefly reverse rotation to clear the trimmer head of tangled grass or weeds without needing to get your hands dirty.

• Constant Speed Control: Ensures the motor maintains its RPM even when the grass gets thick, preventing the tool from “stalling” and ensuring a clean, uniform cut.

• Soft Start: Provides a smooth ramp-up of power when the trigger is pulled, reducing the initial jerk on the operator’s wrists and extending the life of the gear drive.

• Designed for residential and light-commercial users who want the ultimate versatility of a multi-tool system but prefer the lightweight, single-battery agility over the heavier 36V models.
