Landscapers are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. is meeting demand with an expanding collection of string trimmers, including the 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless String Trimmer Kit (XRU18PT). With zero emissions, lower noise and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered string trimmers, the 36V (18V X2) LXT String Trimmer is a welcome solution for landscapers. The XRU18 has the power equivalent to a 30cc gas string trimmer.
The efficient BL Brushless Motor delivers longer run time, more power and speed, and longer tool life. With a 17" cutting swath, the XRU18 provides increased productivity. The steel drive shaft provides less vibration and longer equipment life.
The String Trimmer features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT). XPT is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components.
It's part of 's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
For improved tool performance and extended battery life, created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. Model XRU18PT is a kit and includes two fast-charging 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger.
Tool users who unplug the cord with 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world's largest 18V cordless tool line-up. 's leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards - and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry's fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
Cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs created STAR Protection Computer Controls. STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a 18V LXT battery with the STAR symbol onto a tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls.
When the job takes your tool into harsh conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides added protection. XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, tools equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
