Makita XBU02Z Brushless Blower, Tool Only, 5 Ah, 36 V, Lithium-Ion, 473 cfm Air, 28 min Run Time

Landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE that includes the 18 V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion (36 V) brushless blower. With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18 V X2 (36 V) cordless blower is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It's powered by two 18 V LXT® batteries for maximum power and runtime, but without leaving the 18 V battery platform. With the efficient Makita BL™ brushless motor, the blower delivers longer runtime, increased power and speed and longer tool life. Makita's efficient BL™ motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer runtime per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL™ motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. When powered by two 18 V 5 Ah batteries, the efficient brushless motor delivers up to 28 min of runtime on dial setting #3 on a single charge. The XBU02Z features Makita extreme protection technology (XPT™). XPT™ is a protective seal inside the tool and is engineered for improved operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It's part of Makita's expanding 18 V Lithium-Ion system, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18 V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18 V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Zero emissions and reduced maintenance, no need for gas or oil Two 18 V LXT® lithium-ion batteries deliver the power and runtime for gas-powered demands without leaving the 18 V LXT® platform Weighs only 9 lb with batteries for reduced operator fatigue Features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) which is engineered to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh jobsite conditions Instant start-up, simply load two 18 V LXT® batteries and the blower is ready to use Dual LED battery charge indicators show charge level for each 18 V LXT® battery In-line fan design provides better tool balance and improved ergonomics Rubberized soft-grip provides increased comfort on the job Three-stage telescoping long nozzle for user convenience
