Makita XBU05Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower (XBU05Z, tool only) is a popular clean-up tool that is widely used on job sites and in workshops. Its seamless combination of cordless convenience with the superior power-to-weight ratio of Makita’s 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery technology makes it a favorite among users. The XBU05Z is the perfect addition to any kit, tool box, or workshop with its ability to reach fast speeds of 219 MPH. It features a Makita-built high-torque motor with three speeds and weighs just 4.1 lbs. (with battery, sold separately), with a more compact design at 20-3/8” long and an ergonomic shape for reduced operator fatigue.

It is part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, allowing them to spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. To improve tool performance and extend battery life, Makita has created Star Protection Computer Controls. This communication technology allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

The Makita-built variable 3-speed motor produces a maximum air velocity of 219 MPH and can operate continuously at high speed for up to 17 minutes with a 6.0Ah 18V LXT battery (battery not included). Its compact and ergonomic design at only 20-3/8" long, along with its lightweight of 4.1 lbs. with battery (battery not included), reduces operator fatigue. The rubberized soft grip handle also increases operator comfort during use.
