Replaced by DUR193Makita DUR181Z 18v LXT Cordless Grass Line Trimmer Strimmer Body Only
The DUR181 string trimmer has been developed as a lightweight 260mm (10-1/4") Cordless grass trimmer, powered by a single Makita 18v lithium-ion battery. Featuring a well balanced tool design with angle adjustable cutting head for home gardening.
Sold as body only. Batteries & chargers are sold separately. 
FEATURES

Well balanced tool design - The battery position is located under the main handle, exactly at the place that plays a role of pivot point when the tool is swung like a pendulum for grass cutting. The battery is therefore not swung around to minimize user’s fatigue
Easy to change spool assembly - Nylon cord can be fed from the spool by bumping the bump feed button against the ground
5 position adjustable pivoting head enables user to adjust cutting angle, allowing for trimming in tight spaces
Battery capacity warning lamp alerts the user when the battery is running low or empty
Adjustable loop-handle can be adjusted according to user's height and working posture
Spool assembly is easy to attach and remove, also easy to rewind. It comes equipped with a metal bump feed button for wear resistance

If you have the battery/s this makes perfect sense. I already had the 36v (2 battery mower) and this strimmer (1 battery) combined with that is great combo to get the job done. Don't hesitate just buy it.

Firstly I’m a joiner that uses a lot of Makita cordless tools so this strimmer was a no brainier for me, plenty compatible batteries. The strimmer it’s self is perfect for our small garden and a fully charged battery lasts for the complete job. Happy.

Great bit of kit, very quick as the job is boring but this makes it very easy and very quick. DPD who delivered this were a different story sadly - 5 hours late!!!!!!! Would definitely recommend the Line Trimmer :-)

not powerful enough, strimmer plastic wears out too quickly and only cuts grass and very thin stalks

I decided on a Makita body because I already have 2 chargers and didn't want a third. I've only used it once with an existing battery and it performed pretty good, using half the battery charge on a fairly large area. It's lightweight enough, even with the battery installed, for a long session. The build quality is very good as you'd expect with Makita products.
