Customer Reviews for Makita LXT 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless String Trimmer (Tool-Only)

This tool is lightweight and easy to use and lasts longer than I expected thanks a lot.

This trimmer is lighter powered than I really wanted ; should have gotten the model that uses two batteries instead . Uses a lighter string and I'm afraid that if I put on a heaver one it will not cut well .

I think the single string is a joke. I spend most the time trying to feed string or retrieving string that broken off inside spool! I have may Mikita tools and this one lacks as in dependability.

A little overpowered compared to other brands I've tried for wireless trimmers. Worked well though, and if you have their batteries and drill it's worth to keep with the same line. Easy to put together.

Great light-medium duty trimmer. Runs plenty long on one battery for my needs.

The string holder don't hold enough string.t

Great ergonomics, but is only a SINGLE string cutter! Practically worthless. Returned for 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 13 in. String Trimmer, best I’ve ever owned! 13” cutting width.

Has only one string ,its ok for very light cutting

Assembly was easy. The problem with this tool is that the nylon line does not feed easily and wears out much to quickly. I had a corded string trimmer and you could tap the spool head and it would automatically feed out nylon cutting line. This model doesn't do that and the nylon line is much too thin, thus wears out quickly. This means a Home Depot return.

It does a good job trimming light weeds and grass, but does not cut through heavy weed stems. It is weaker than my old corded Toro string trimmer.

For the money it’s almost worth it. The head doesn’t dispense as well as my corded black and decker, which is very frustrating. I won’t return it because i don’t have to use the cord now, but I’d look at the more expensive model

Great, love Makita products.

I wish it was a little more powerful

Not very powerful but suffices.
