Our take on the Makita 40V max XGT 15" Brushless Cordless String Trimmer GRU01Z

The GRU01Z is Makita's 40V XGT brushless string trimmer, sold as a bare tool. Its brushless motor spins the line at 6,500 RPM on high, and Makita rates it as the match for a 25cc gas trimmer. The 15-inch cut and straight shaft with adjustable loop handle suit homeowners and light professional work on larger lots. It competes with other 40V-class trimmers on power and build, but it is heavier than most and needs Makita's XGT batteries and charger, which cost extra.
