Makita DUB362Z Twin 18V (36V) Li-Ion LXT Brushless Blower - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

Powered by two 18V Li-ion batteries in series to supply energy to the powerful 36V DC motor drive system.

The Makita-built BL™ Brushless Motor delivers speed up to 120 MPH and up to 473 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. Makita’s Brushless Motors run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. Cruise control function - lever allows user to set desired speed removing the need constantly engage trigger Built-in fan circulates air through the battery during the charging process to cool the battery for faster charge time. 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

IDEAL USAGE AREAS

The XBU02PT 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.

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. Makita 36V Blower Review – Features 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. The XBU04ZV 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.A brushless electronic motor runs more efficiently than brushed types. This can help reduce the tool's energy consumption. When it comes to Outdoor Power Equipment ( OPE), it seems like every manufacturer has a tool to offer. Now when I say this, I am saying it with all respect. When it comes to OPE, I feel like most of them just offer the product to complement their line of tools and hopefully, people will buy their OPE tool and then start buying their power tools. It’s almost like when you used to buy power tool kits. They would have a kit of 4 tools and then toss in some cheap light to call it a 5 tool kit. If you already own some Makita tools, this blower makes a great addition to your cordless tool collection
