Professional Makita Trimmers & Lawn Edgers

Q: Are Makita cordless trimmers as powerful as petrol models?

Absolutely. Makita’s 36V (18Vx2) and 40V Max XGT brushless line trimmers are explicitly engineered to match and exceed the high-torque cutting power of equivalent 25cc and 30cc 2-stroke petrol engines, but without the noise, vibrations, and exhaust fumes.

Q: Are Makita cordless trimmers safe to use in wet grass?

Yes. Most premium Makita outdoor power tools feature XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology), which incorporates specialized internal seals to channel water and dust away from critical electrical components. However, you should still avoid submerging the tool or leaving it out in torrential rain.

The era of wrestling with temperamental pull-cords, mixing messy 2-stroke fuel, and inhaling toxic exhaust fumes is over. Makita Trimmers & Edgers represent the pinnacle of modern landscaping technology, delivering the aggressive cutting torque of a petrol engine combined with the whisper-quiet, zero-emission convenience of advanced lithium-ion battery platforms.

At Freshway Supplies, we are a trusted distributor of genuine Makita outdoor power equipment. Whether you are a professional groundskeeper needing a heavy-duty 40V Max XGT brushless line trimmer to clear thick brush, or a facility manager looking for a highly precise cordless edger to maintain immaculate pathways, we stock the exact machinery required to achieve a flawless, professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a line trimmer and a lawn edger?

While they are both used to detail a lawn, they perform two distinct functions:

Line Trimmer (Whipper Snipper): Uses a rapidly spinning nylon cord to cut grass around garden beds, trees, and fences where a mower cannot reach.
Lawn Edger: Uses a rigid, vertical steel blade and a guide wheel to cut a perfectly straight, deep trench between the grass and a concrete pathway or driveway.

Are Makita cordless trimmers as powerful as petrol models?

Absolutely. Makita’s 36V (18Vx2) and 40V Max XGT brushless line trimmers are explicitly engineered to match and exceed the high-torque cutting power of equivalent 25cc and 30cc 2-stroke petrol engines, but without the noise, vibrations, and exhaust fumes.

Can I use my Makita drill batteries in my Makita line trimmer?

Yes. If your Makita power tools and your outdoor landscaping equipment belong to the exact same voltage platform, the batteries are 100% interchangeable. Your 18V LXT impact driver battery will perfectly power an 18V LXT grass trimmer.

What does a 'Brushless' motor do for a line trimmer?

A brushless motor removes the physical carbon brushes found in traditional motors, entirely eliminating internal friction. This allows the trimmer to run significantly cooler, spin at much higher RPMs, and deliver up to 50% longer battery runtime per charge—essential for commercial landscapers.

What is the Makita 36V (18Vx2) system?

The 36V (18Vx2) system is a brilliant Makita innovation. Instead of forcing you to buy a separate, expensive 36V battery platform for heavy-duty outdoor tools, these trimmers feature a dual-dock that accepts two standard 18V LXT batteries simultaneously to generate 36V of massive cutting power.

What is Makita ADT (Automatic Torque Drive Technology)?

ADT is an intelligent feature found on premium Makita brushless trimmers. It automatically adjusts the RPM and torque of the cutting head in real-time based on the thickness of the grass you are cutting. This ensures maximum cutting power in dense weeds while conserving battery life in light, thin grass.

How do I feed more line out of the Makita trimmer head?

Most commercial Makita line trimmers feature a highly convenient Bump-Feed Head. While the trimmer is spinning at full speed, simply tap the bottom spool housing firmly against the ground. The internal spring mechanism will instantly release a measured length of fresh nylon line.

Can I use a metal blade on my Makita line trimmer?

It depends on the specific model. Heavy-duty 36V and 40V XGT models are often compatible with rigid steel brush-cutter blades for clearing thick scrub and saplings. However, standard 18V residential grass trimmers are designed exclusively for nylon line and attaching a metal blade can overload the motor and cause dangerous kickback.

Are Makita cordless trimmers safe to use in wet grass?

Yes. Most premium Makita outdoor power tools feature XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology), which incorporates specialized internal seals to channel water and dust away from critical electrical components. However, you should still avoid submerging the tool or leaving it out in torrential rain.

How long does a Makita 18V trimmer run on a single charge?

Runtime heavily depends on the thickness of the grass and the battery capacity. On average, a standard 18V LXT brushless trimmer paired with a fully charged 5.0Ah battery will yield approximately 30 to 45 minutes of continuous cutting time on the standard speed setting.

Do you sell replacement trimmer line and spools?

Yes. Freshway Supplies stocks a comprehensive range of genuine Makita consumables. We carry bulk rolls of heavy-duty twisted nylon trimmer line, pre-wound replacement spool heads, and steel edger blades to ensure your equipment is always ready for the next job.

Does Freshway offer bulk pricing for commercial landscaping companies?

Yes. We specialize in B2B heavy equipment distribution. We provide highly competitive, tailored wholesale pricing for professional landscapers, local councils, and facility management groups looking to upgrade their fleet with multiple Makita trimmers, batteries, and rapid chargers.
