Having looked at several Multitool models I opted for the Makita. This decision was based on my previous experiences with Makita tools, with their excellent build quality and the warranty they provide. No Load Speed (Med) 0 - 8,200 rpm Battery Type Lithium-ion Body only machine 1 Voltage 36 (18v x2) v Maximum Output 600 w No Load Speed (Hi) 0 - 9,700 rpm No Load Speed (Lo) 0 - 5,700 rpm Net weight 4.1 - 8.7 kg My Ryobi brush cutter is on its way out with a scored piston & cylinder. Am in the market for a new machine, and this Makita looks promising and a good price. I have Makita batteries and other kit already.

With the move to battery powered grounds maintenance machines becoming ever more popular, particularly at the demand of municipal authorities and public bodies, Makita offers a range of 18v tools and, more recently, an expanding inventory of twin 18v machines to give 36v power. The power and run-time performance of the 36v Brushless motor makes the latest tools fully comparable on power and performance to petrol engine machines, while being highly sustainable with low noise and emissions.

With any of the tool heads attached and the two 18v batteries clipped into the motor housing, the overall balance of the complete machine is excellent with the loop handle perfectly positioned for complete machine control and manoeuvrability. Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions Although I only need a brush cutter right now, I like the idea of a multi tool to add possibly a long handle hedge trimmer or cultivator in future. Powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries in series to supply energy to the powerful 36V DC motor drive systemProduct dimensions are stated with a battery / batteries, if they affect the overall dimensions of the product.
