Description

The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower (XBU05Z, tool only) is a go-to clean-up tool and a favorite on job sites and in workshops. It seamlessly combines the convenience of cordless with the superior power-to-weight ratio of Makita’s 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery technology. The XBU05Z is the perfect addition to any kit, tool box or workshop. The XBU05Z reaches fast speeds of 219 MPH. It features a Makita-built high-torque motor with three speeds. The blower 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’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 LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that 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.

    • Small but powerful.
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
This small blower works great! We were surprised because of the size, but this thing will clear leaves and acorns like crazy. I don't know why anyone would leave less than four stars unless they just got a lemon. It is not supposed to do the high-power work of a gas-powered blower. I am very pleased with this tool, and my wife loves it because it is light weight. I recommend it. ... show more

    • Makita quality
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
Well, the Makita LXT battery series of tools has hooked me lately. I am a long time user of Makita, dating back to sometime in the mid-1970's. I still have/use some of the tools, they have never let me down. This blower is the latest of their tools in the tool-lineup. I love this one too! I learned a couple years ago in large leaf-blowers that having/using powerful 'winds' is not always best, and since then I generally use softer settings to round up whatever I am blowing. This small blower is going to be very handy in my shop, garage and many places. Its 'wind' is a good one and I just really like the feel of its rubbery handle. It feels like high quality. Note: I wasn't sure if the blower nozzle could be used for the suction port and yes, it is designed to fit that as well. Maybe not too useful without a fitted vacuum bag to collect the debris...but I say this just to let you know. I will take this, along with the LXT drill and vacuum and the battery on our travel trailer trips as handy things to have that do not take up much room. ... show more

    • small, but powerful
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
got this thing in the mail today and was so pumped! I've always been jealous seeing my neighbors with their leaf blowers. it is small, around 20" total so I really wouldn't even call this a "leaf blower" but it moves air. can't comment on battery yet, but I used it for almost 30 minutes on high speed on a battery thats been in my drill for months which I use periodically. the part I love best about this is you can easily hold it with 1 hand, it is very easy to maneuver. no backpack, gas fumes, or hand fatigue. so far this is what I used it for and would say it did a great job: -blowing dust/dirt out of my garage -blowing cob webs off -blowing dirt and debris off my driveway and sidewalk -blowing dead bugs from the inside of my light fixtures -blowing dirt and debris from my pool deck my 5 year old daughter loved using it, she had to use 2 hands but maneuvered it easily, she had lots of fun. had to teach her how to blow the dirt "away" from the house but she did it. great "chore" for the little ones if you can teach them that part. if you are buying this for a yard that yields giant bags of leaves, its not the right tool for the job, but if you are looking for a general blower for around the exterior (or interior) of your house, it is perfect. no complaints but a wish list item for Makita: model numbers! I saw several of these around the same size for under $100 (with no battery) and really wish Makita had a place on their site where you could compare the models to see what the differences were. ... show more

    • Powerful for its size
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
This a great little shop blower. Doesn't have the power for leaf blowing or moving heavier debris. Nozzle is very short had to order the extension so as not to bend way over to use it.

    • Great tool
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
Is what it is, works great for around the patio, go's with us in the camp trailer to clean up a camp spot. Use it all the time and am super happy with it. One of those tools that is a battery hog, take 2 with you. Was never intended to do what a big blower will do, but super handy. I use the biggest Stihl back pack blower made and my wife loves to detail behind me with this. ... show more

    • Easiest way to clean out the garage
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
Every week I've been breaking down mountains of cardboard that have piled up from all the things our friends and family have shipped to help with our new baby. Part of this process requires cutting up all the cardboard with a jigsaw so it will fit in our recycling can. As you might imagine, cutting up all that cardboard leaves quite a mess in the garage. I had been sweeping up the mess every week like a noob until I decided to purchase this little blower and WOW has it made a difference. It's light, easy to swing around, and packs a serious punch. I now can have all the cardboard mess blown out of the garage in under two minutes. As a bonus, it works really well when I need to add a little extra burn power to the firepit out back. I was worried when I first got it that it was going to be too small to handle any sort of tasks I needed it for around the house, but that definitely has not been the case. It's now one of my favorite everyday tools. ... show more

    • A bit pricey but…an excellent lightweight cordless blower with more blowing power than you’ll need
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
I can see how the price may force most people to consider cheaper products but…when you consider its light weight and strong blowing power (without a nuisance cord), it’s well worth the price. I gave up my 200hp Toro corded blower and not only switched to this powerful cordless Makita blower but…also switched my other tools to Makita and took advantage of the interchangeable batteries. ... show more

    • Great smaller blower
Style: Blower Only Color: Teal
To be honest, I thought this blower was bigger than it turned out to be. But after using it some for tasks like keeping the deck and deck stairs clean I found it was the perfect size. It's small but quite powerful and I haven't run it out of battery in the middle of a job. The only negative I can come u with is a small ergonometric "bug" - if you use the blower in your right hand the intake is right next to your right leg and sometimes it'll suck itself right into your leg. Not an injury issue at all, it just stops blowing. Other than that it's 5 stars great! ... show more
