116 MPH 459 CFM 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Leaf Blower (Tool-Only)

With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18-Volt LXT Brushless Cordless Blower (XBU03Z) is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. Its powered by one 18-Volt LXT battery (sold separately), the same battery that powers the full range of solutions in the expanding LXT system. This blower features a compact and ergonomic design, weighing in at only 6.5 lbs. and measuring 32-1/2 in. L. With no carbon brushes, the Makita BL Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life and delivers speeds up to 116 MPH air velocity and a full 459 CFM. 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. A cruise control lever provides management of power and run time. The XBU03Z 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. Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion System, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
