NERemodeling Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Hit damn!! That thing is nice!!!Is that you putting it to work, Jess?How does it run compared to the 18v. Is the power and speed very notaciable?Does it have reverse like the 18v or does it not need it because its got plenty of power it will never get choked up! HahaAre the battery indicators the 3 level charge indicators or just low battery warning light?how's the weight and balance?Is it variable speed.. dial to set the speed or trigger like a gas engine?any cool stand out features?the grass in that second pic has got to be the best looking grass I have ever seen!!

chadlanthier Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Wow, wonder how the balance is with the 2 batteries like that. Nice trimmer. Like everyone has said, tool fight, tool fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 It's very well balanced and light lighter then any gasoline trimmer.Since it doesn't have a drive shaft its pretty much follow aluminium tuning with batteries on the back and engine on the front.I love it !

Thinking about picking this and the blower up now that spring is coming. im looking at the blower too. i am looking at the $100 trimmer as I really dont need anything bigger. makita has their promo going right now, buy 3 bare tools get 2 free batteries, charger, and a contractor bag, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegowner Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 follow up?? i don't know which one to choose... xru07z or xru04z 18 brushless vs 36 brushless. i have 5 x 4.0 amp batt. and 2 3.0+ 3 quick chargers. so either one isnt an issue :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 I have the 36v and the thing kicks ass. I live the push button for speed control. I don't use the reverse much, but nice to have. It will pretty much cut anything down. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tegowner Posted October 8, 2016 Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 the 36v looks awesome with the beefier head. nice buy eric. can you feel the torque control thing? i've read that when under a minimal load or a heavy load, the trimmer changes the power to maximize the runtime or the power. thanks teg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if you own neither and you want to pick one I would still go Makita purely because their batteries are cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
