Makita DUP181Z 18V LXT Brushless Pruning Shears Cuts Up To 30mm

The Makita DUP181Z pruning shear is a professional cordless tool with an 18V LXT brushless motor, designed for precise and clean cuts up to 30 mm in diameter. Lightweight, ergonomic, and fully compatible with the Makita battery ecosystem, it offers high performance without fatigue even during prolonged operations.

The Makita DUP181Z 18V LXT is a cordless pruning shear designed for professionals and landscape operators who require power, precision, and comfort in a single tool. The brushless motor optimizes energy efficiency and ensures a long machine life, while compatibility with the 18V LXT platform allows users to leverage the entire Makita battery ecosystem. 

Equipped with four blade opening levels, the DUP181Z allows you to adapt the cut according to branch size, improving efficiency in repetitive operations. The standby function simplifies movement between cuts, and the ergonomic design with a slim grip reduces fatigue during prolonged use. Conveniently set the shear's cutting capacity using the dedicated button on the tool body. You can choose between opening diameters of 10 mm, 18 mm, 25 mm, and 30 mm.

The external oil port allows blade lubrication without disassembly, optimizing maintenance time. The front LED provides immediate control over the machine's operating status, increasing safety and precision in varying light conditions. 

The Makita DUP181Z professional cordless pruning shear performs best when used for working in vineyards or pruning shrubs with medium-sized branches such as olive trees and some fruit trees.

The Makita DUP181Z pruning shear is the ideal choice for those looking for a tool for medium-level pruning and who already own Makita 18V battery system batteries and chargers. This shear is practical and easy to handle, also offering a much lower price compared to other models in the Makita 18V range. If you are a professional operator, you might prefer other models that connect to the battery via a cable, as the weight on the motor body (which you lift with your hand) is reduced by the weight of the battery.
