Makita 18V Cordless Grass Trimmer (DUR181Z)

lightweight with great features

always with battery driven items will battery need charging often well not with this device the 3amp battery made easy work as did the strimmer in my garden. especially useful is the tap button on the wire feeder and self trim cutter keeps you on the move without having the tedious necessity to remove the spool and adjust it manually when the cutting wire breaks. its not heavy at all and the adjustable head little awkward to adjust but again not a problem overhaul buy it you wont regret it.Read full review

DUR181 grass cutter

Lacks power even with a 3ah battery. Only has one cutting cord which really needs to be longer. Ok as a very basic DIY tool.

Excellent product

Great price. I checked! I wondered if one battery would provide enough power but in practice it does some hard work although, as you might expect, your batteries will be drained. It is nicely balanced which makes the work easier - less strain on the back - and there is a strap if you have a lot to do. The swivelling head makes edging a lot easier and that is a lot of what I routinely need from a stimmer. As other reviewers have said the bump stop mechanism isn't the easiest to operate but it does save on line consumption. Read full review

Makita strimmer

Yet another brilliant addition to the makita cordless range. No more mixing oil and fuel!! I already have the batteries so just brought the bare unit. Light and easy to use, plenty of power and excellent running time. 10 out of 10 Read full review

Finesse.

Well made, light, adjustable for length and angle for those tricky places and the battery goes on and on. Working around delicate plants there is less likelihood of doing irreparable damage and it is a lot quieter than the bigger petrol strimmer used for the rough stuff. Having a battery and charger already is a bonus, It now fits lots of tools.Read full review

Cheap as chips without charger and battery, which I had.

I love this strimmer, as I did not have to pay full price. I already had a couple of makita cordless items, so did not need to order a battery or charger.
I carried out a lot of strimming at home and allotment, and battery still had loads of power left.Read full review

Cordless Strimming

Being a Makita user I bought the DUR 181Z line cutter so that I could use my existing batteries and not be hampered by a power cord. As a strimmer, it works as well as a mains powered one though getting the bump feed to pay out extra line can be a bit hit and miss. Trimming lawn edges is now much less of a chore.

Top product

Makita is my main choice of battery operated tools and didn't think twice about purchasing this strimmer as it fitted in with my armoury of tools as the battery fits all of them.

The strimmer is easy to use and the tap of the base on the ground is a good idea and time saving. The wife loves it as it lightweight and with the strap distributes the weight evenly. Would have no hesitation recommending this strimmer at all, another good feature is the twisting head that allows the strimmer to become an edging tool.

5* plus on this all the way.Read full review
