Makita DUR368 36V Brushless Line Trimmer – Cordless Whipper Snipper
Experience the devastating, uncompromising power of a commercial petrol trimmer without the toxic exhaust fumes, deafening noise, or messy fuel mixing. The Makita DUR368 36V (18Vx2) Brushless Line Trimmer is an elite, high-performance commercial line trimmer engineered specifically for professional landscapers and demanding property owners. Powered by utilizing two standard 18V LXT batteries simultaneously to generate a massive 36V of output, it drives a highly advanced brushless motor to deliver an incredible 6,500 RPM. This allows you to slice effortlessly through thick, overgrown kikuyu grass and heavy, wet weeds with absolute precision.
Intelligence matches raw power in this advanced cordless whipper snipper. It features Makita's innovative Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), which actively senses the thickness of the grass and automatically adjusts the RPM and torque to maintain maximum cutting speed without stalling. Designed for all-day operator comfort, it is equipped with a highly ergonomic Loop Handle for precise edging control, and a brilliant Reverse switch that instantly untangles long grass from the cutting head. Fully armored with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) against heavy dust and rain, this 36V powerhouse is the ultimate, low-maintenance upgrade for your professional landscaping trailer.
*Please Note: This product may be sold as a "Skin Only". Please check inclusions; Makita 18V Batteries and Chargers are typically sold separately.
Who Is This 36V Brushless Line Trimmer Ideal For?

Facility & School Maintenance: Trimming grass around classrooms and hospital wards during daytime hours without violating noise restrictions or disturbing residents with loud engine revving.
-
Current Makita 18V LXT Owners: Expanding their tool collection by using the two 18V batteries they already own to power this massive 36V machine, ensuring incredible cost efficiency.
-
Acreage & Property Owners: Tackling thick, overgrown rural fencelines and heavy weeds effortlessly without the physical strain of pull-starting a flooded petrol engine.
Key Features and Performance Benefits:
-
Massive 36V (18Vx2) Power: Combines the power of two 18V LXT batteries to deliver 36V of petrol-equivalent cutting force, eliminating engine maintenance, spark plugs, and fuel costs entirely.
-
Advanced Brushless Motor: Frictionless operation means the motor runs significantly cooler, generates more torque, and vastly extends the battery runtime compared to brushed motors.
-
Automatic Torque Drive (ADT): Intelligently shifts the motor speed depending on the load. If you hit thick weeds, it automatically ramps up the torque to prevent the head from bogging down.
-
3-Stage Speed Control: Allows you to manually lock in the RPM (Low: 3500, Med: 5300, High: 6500) to perfectly match the grass type, optimizing your battery life.
-
Reverse Clearing Function: If long, stringy grass wraps around the spindle, simply hit the reverse button. The head spins backward slowly to instantly untangle the mess without you using your hands.
