There is increased demand for more alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE that includes the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Blower and 36V (18V X2) LXT® String Trimmer (combo kit model XT277PTX). With zero emissions, lower noise and none of the maintenance associated with gas power equipment, the 18V X2 (36V) Cordless Blower and String Trimmer are welcome solutions for efficient trimming and clean-ups. The Blower and String Trimmer are each powered by two 18V LXT® batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. The efficient brushless motors are engineered for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life.

Model XT277PTX is a combo kit and includes the Blower and String Trimmer, as well as two fast-charging 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah batteries and an efficient 18V Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger. The kit also includes an 18V LXT® Brushless 4-1/2" Angle Grinder that is engineered for corded grinding performance without the cord.

The Blower, String Trimmer and Angle Grinder each feature Makita 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 Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V 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, Makita 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 Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
