The Makita DUR193RT is all about light weight and precision. At around 2.3 kg it’s the lightest Makita 18V, it’s genuinely quiet, and its pivoting head makes crisp edging effortless. It comes as a kit with a generous 5 Ah battery.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants a comfortable, precise tool for edging and light lawn work — ideal for Makita owners. For tall grass or brush, choose a blade-capable machine.
Verdict
A superb light edging trimmer. Perfect within its remit; not a clearing tool.
Featherlight, quiet and precise for edging — a lovely lawn tool, but strictly grass, not a brush cutter.
Makita DUR193RT — frequently asked questions
How light is the Makita DUR193RT?
Around 2.3–2.6 kg — the lightest in Makita's 18V line, and one of the quietest at 83 dB. Its pivoting, rotating head makes edging easy.
Is it a brush cutter?
No — it's a specialised grass trimmer and edger. It lacks a metal blade and isn't suited to tall grass over ~30 cm, brambles or heavy clearing.
