Makita DUP181 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Pruning Shears

The Makita DUP181 is a lightweight 18V LXT cordless brushless pruning shear designed for efficient, precise cutting of branches up to 30mm diameter. This professional-grade tool combines exceptional portability with powerful cutting performance, making it ideal for landscapers, vineyard workers, orchard managers, and grounds maintenance contractors.

The high-efficiency brushless motor delivers consistent cutting power throughout the battery charge, achieving up to 7,200 cuts in 15mm cypress on a single 6.0Ah battery. The ultra-lightweight design at just 0.76kg (without battery) reduces operator fatigue during extended pruning sessions, whilst the slim ergonomic profile allows comfortable single-handed operation.

The 4-stage electronic blade opening adjustment lets you optimise the cutting angle and blade overlap for different branch sizes, from delicate stems to branches up to 30mm in diameter. This adjustability improves cutting efficiency when making repetitive small cuts on hedges or detailed pruning work on roses, shrubs, and fruit trees.

Practical features enhance durability and ease of use. The external oil port allows quick blade lubrication without disassembly, keeping maintenance simple and ensuring smooth operation throughout the working day. XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology) provides enhanced dust and water resistance for long-term reliability in demanding outdoor conditions. A lock-off function prevents accidental activation during transport or storage, whilst the quiet 70 dB(A) sound pressure level makes the tool suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

For users already invested in Makita's 18V LXT ecosystem, the DUP181 represents excellent value as a body-only purchase, using existing batteries and chargers across multiple tools.
