Free delivery on eligible orders of Β£20 or more. Review: A beast - This and the accompanying heads for it you can also buy separately are really nice. They fit together so nicely even compared to their Stihl counterparts. Good power. It's expensive but it is worth it if you have the Makita batteries already. Used it with a pole saw and two extension bars and it works great. Review: Excellent - definitely the equivalent of a petrol brushcutter - Makita DUX60Z Brushless Split Shaft Motor Power Head. Bought one of these to try instead of my usual Stihl petrol brushcutter and I was pleasantly surprised to find the makita 2x 18V is every bit as good as the petrol engined equivalent. The Makita has 3 Power settings that you pre-select and then the throttle works only up until that max. power sett so these 3 settings effectively cap the speed and power level in order to prolong battery life but obviously with a correspondingly lower RPM limit at each setting. With the Makita set to the Medium power setting, and fitted with a 9 inch metal brushcutter blade, I can strim tall grass and dense weeds (cow parsley, Docks, Nettles etc) for at least 45 minutes before the 2x 18V 5Ah batteries are flat. If I'm more careful with the throttle control then I can get 60 minutes or so from a charge. The only minor downside is you then have to wait about 70 minutes for the dual charger to re-charge the batteries to 100% - it gets to 80% charge much faster but I forget excatly how long that takes. It's not the end of the world so have a cup of tea whilst the batteries recharge. The fact the shaft splits in two also means it is much easier to transport if you need to use it away from home as it fits easily in the boot of the car. I highly recommend the Makita DUX60Z, so much so that I bought a second one for my wife to use. ## Features - Brushless motor - Soft start, variable speed control and constant speed control - 3 speed selection - Reverse switch for grass clipping removal - On/off button with auto-off (no operation within one minute; automatically powers off) - Loop handle - Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT); shuts down the tool to protect the user if the Speed suddenly slows down - Multi-tool system; versatile optional attachments (not included) for a range of applications - Instant start-up; simply load two 18V li-ion LXT slide type batteries and the split-shaft is ready for use - 1 year manufacturer warranty with a further 2 years when registered within 30 days of purchase.

The drive shaft is slightly narrower than Stihls whose is 8mm in diameter. Other companies use 9 tooth splined or in Stihls case 5.3mm square or some other variety such as Honda who use something else. The outer aluminium shaft is narrower too at 24mm, Stihls is 26mm. Everything is incompatible without a load of work. **Q: Where can we buy the brush cutter and other attachment/shaft?** A: I got all my attachments from screwfix. **Q: what is the overall height that this tool can reach** A: It says no more than 2 extentions poles, so about 2.5m to 3m max. **Q: What is the difference between this and the regular 36v line trimmer?** A: You can fit different attachments such as hedge cutter or strimmer. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beast *by J***N on 23 November 2025* This and the accompanying heads for it you can also buy separately are really nice.
