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. LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery BL1850B features an integrated L.E.D. battery charge level indicator Makita started with a brushless motor and designed a two battery system around the motor. If you use two 5Ah batteries, you will get about 30 minutes of run time. Not bad at all for a high demand OPE tool.

Delivers up to 28 minutes of run time at 15,800 RPM using two 18V LXT® 5.0Ah batteries (batteries not included) You may be wondering why you see two batteries that say 18V, but the article says it’s a 36V. Makita does something different that I wish all companies did. Instead of designing different volt batteries and requiring users to invest into different platforms, Makita thought differently. Why not have users invest in one battery platform? If it only requires one battery, that is how we will design the tool. However, for the high demand applications, they add another one to increase the watts or output. An awesome idea and another reason that Makita puts its users first.

LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Head Kit w/ 13" String Trimmer & Blower Attachments (4.0Ah) 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 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Blower. With zero emissions and lower noise, the 18V X2 (36V) Cordless Blower is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. It’s powered by two 18V LXT® batteries for maximum power and run time, but without leaving the 18V battery platform. With the efficient Makita BL™ brushless motor, the blower delivers longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. While you can hear the blower, it’s not nearly as loud as other blowers we have tested (60.2 dB). Makita 36V Blower Review – Value Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately) For me, Makita is different. I feel like their OPE tools are high-quality tools. They appear to invest time and money into the line and look at this as an extension, something they believe should be high quality. So as you guessed when people ask me who makes the best OPE tools for power tool companies, I immediately point them to Makita.

If you already own some Makita tools, this blower makes a great addition to your cordless tool collection stage telescoping blower nozzle features an adjustment range of 5" extending pipe closer to ground for user convenience
