Makita UR014GZ01 40Vmax XGT Cordless Brushless 17-3/4″ Line Trimmer – Tool Only

Makita’s UR014GZ01 is a professional 40Vmax XGT cordless line trimmer designed for high-output trimming and heavy grass clearing without gas maintenance. A 1.5 kW brushless motor delivers power comparable to a 35cc gas trimmer, with two-stage speed control up to 5,700 RPM for thick growth. The loop handle layout keeps the tool easy to maneuver around landscaping, fences, and obstacles, while a 17-3/4″ cutting width with a bump-feed head maximizes coverage per pass. For safety and control, Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) shuts the tool down if a sudden speed drop is detected, and an electric brake stops the head in about 3–5 seconds. Soft start helps eliminate startup shock, and IPX4 weather-resistant construction supports use in wet grass and light rain. Low operating noise makes it suitable for residential and commercial areas. With reversible head rotation to clear tangles and an electronic current limiter to help prevent overload, this string trimmer is built for regular use on the XGT platform.
