MAKITA DUP181Z 18V LXT Cordless Pruning Shear (tool only)

Cordless Pruning Shears MAKITA DUP181Z 18V LXT® Pruning Shear (tool only)
High-performance cordless pruning shears operating on the popular 18V LXT industrial battery platform, driven by a brushless motor that delivers long runtimes and extends the tool's service life. Featuring intelligent sensor processing embedded within the motor, the blade moves smoothly and precisely in sync with the trigger squeeze (Trigger Responsiveness), even at low speeds. Capable of cutting thick branches up to 30 mm, with 4-stage blade opening angle adjustment to quickly adapt to branches of different sizes. Designed for truly easy maintenance with an external oil port that allows immediate blade lubrication without disassembling any parts. The "Z" suffix indicates the bare tool (tool only / skin) model, excluding battery and charger—a cost-effective solution for those who already own Makita 18V LXT tools and batteries.
