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

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 cleanup applications. It's powered by two 18 V LXT batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the 18 V battery platform. With the efficient Makita BL brushless motor, the blower delivers longer run time, increased power and speed and longer tool life. Makita's efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time 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 brushless 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 mins of run-time 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.
