Makita DUX18Z 18V LXT Brushless Split Shaft Multi Tool Motor Unit – Body Only

The Makita DUX18Z 18V LXT Brushless Split Shaft Multi Tool Motor Unit is a versatile cordless power unit designed to tackle a wide range of garden and landscaping tasks using interchangeable attachment heads. Powered by Makita's proven 18V LXT battery platform and a high-efficiency brushless motor, the DUX18 delivers reliable performance, reduced maintenance and excellent runtime for professional and domestic users alike.

With a maximum output of 470 watts, the DUX18 provides the power needed for demanding outdoor applications while maintaining a lightweight and easy-to-handle design. The split-shaft system allows attachments to be changed quickly and without tools, transforming the motor unit into a grass trimmer, hedge trimmer, pole saw, cultivator, edger and more (attachments sold separately).

For enhanced operator safety, the DUX18 incorporates Makita's Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT), which automatically shuts down the tool if the rotation speed suddenly decreases due to a snag or obstruction. Additional features such as soft start, electric brake, overload protection and constant speed control help improve safety, comfort and productivity.
