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.
