Makita DUX60Z 18V LXT Brushless Split Shaft Multi-Tool Power Unit (Body Only)

A cordless multi-function power unit that delivers brushless efficiency and three-speed control, the Makita DUX60Z drives a wide range of split-shaft attachments for professional landscaping and grounds maintenance. Its dual 18V LXT battery system provides 36V equivalent power without the weight of a petrol engine, while the tool-less attachment change lets you switch from trimmer to pole saw to hedge trimmer in seconds.

Advantages

The brushless motor runs cooler and longer than brushed equivalents, extending runtime per charge and reducing maintenance. Three electronic speed settings (0–5,700 / 0–8,200 / 0–9,700 rpm) adapt power to the attachment and task, while reverse rotation clears tangled debris without stopping. Soft start, electric brake, constant speed control, and overload protection improve control and safety. The split shaft breaks down for compact transport and storage, and the body-only format lets you use existing Makita 18V LXT batteries and chargers.
