Split = replaceable-tip design
This grass trimmer is versatile with “the strongest feeling”
The strongest grass trimmer does exist, but…
However, with a freely versatile multi-tool approach, this is the strongest.
Currentlythere are “11 types of tip configurations”available.
Since the tip is removable, storage and transport are super easy♪
For home use, versatility is far more important than heavy-duty performance.
Makita’s split grass trimmer comes in 3 types
First, decide between “40V/18V”.
▲“40V MAX” MUX01G
〇“18V” MUX18D
◎“18V*2=36V” MUX60D
This becomes a very difficult choice.
I’m an 18V user and don’t have a 40V.
“You need to secure new batteries and chargers,”which is somewhat high hurdle and increases costs.
So it seems“you’ll be deciding between 1 or 2 18V batteries”.

Tip tools are “40V/18V compatible”
This is really significant, isn’t it?
“Like camera lenses”
In the future“even if you switch to 40V, this compatibility”is extremely appreciated.
“Starting with 18V for now”becomes a viable option.
The next concern is not price but “weight”.
*Published values for body only
“40V MAX” MUX01G 4.4kg
◎“18V” MUX18D 3.1kg
〇“18V*2=36V” MUX60D 4.4kg
Though it seems small, a 1.3kg difference could be quite significant.
For now“40V MAX” MUX01Gis unavailable, so I’ll exclude it.
Operation types and “presence/absence of tangle-free mode” are important
“18V” MUX18Dis very simple.

Button 2-speed + variable speed
trigger switch
Easily control rotation speed according to attachments and work environment.
“Low/high speed” + stepless variable speed trigger switch
Speed control seems fine, but the lack of tangle-free mode might be tough.
“18V*2=36V” MUX60D
“Has tangle-free mode”

Button 3-speed +
stepless variable speed trigger switch
Easily control rotation speed and work volume according to attachments and work environment.
Equipped with tangle-free function
Switch operation for low-speed reverse rotation.
Auto-stops after 1.5 seconds, automatically returns to forward rotation.
“Speed settings”offer greater freedom“and tangle-free mode”reduces stress.
“36V seems to have more torque”
Since the battery is doubled, the motor must be a decent one too?
“Dual 18V for 36V” should provide good continuous runtime
and increased motor torque.
Rather than rotation speed, I imagine it can cut powerfully with torque.
“Currently“18V*2=36V” MUX60D” is the only choice

- Runs on 18V batteries (fewer additional items needed)
- Weight differs by only about 1.3kg from the 18V model
- Has tangle-free mode
- My guess is that at 36V, torque should be stronger than 18V?
