The Makita DUP181Z is an 18 V LXT cordless branch cutter, designed for professional gardening and park maintenance tasks. This successor model of previous Makita branch tools operates wirelessly and offers increased mobility when cutting branches, shrubs, and hedges. The device features a brushless motor that delivers efficient cutting performance with minimal energy consumption, thus extending battery life during prolonged use. With a maximum cutting capacity of 30 mm in diameter for branches, it effectively handles common cutting tasks. The ergonomic design includes soft grip handles that reduce user fatigue during long jobs, and the lightweight construction of approximately 1.8 kg (without battery) ensures comfortable handling. The cutter utilizes Makita's LXT battery system (batteries and charger sold separately) and is compatible with over 275 devices in the LXT platform. The blade is made of hardened steel with a non-stick coating that prevents resin adhesion and corrosion, maintaining cutting performance over time. Safety features include a two-hand operation and a blade guard for storage. The device produces minimal vibrations during operation, enhancing user comfort. Suitable for arborists, landscapers, and dedicated gardening enthusiasts, this branch cutter is designed for durability under demanding outdoor conditions. The product is supplied, as indicated in the model designation, without a battery and charger.
