(Colorado) - See all my reviews This review is from: Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool (Lawn & Patio) This blower is an excellent addition to Makita's LXT lineup of tools. Like all of the LXT tools, the blower is quite powerful, very rugged, lightweight and well thought out. Its small size and very light weight make it all the more useful and portable. It performs the shop duties of an air blow gun without the need of a compressor and hoses. The variable speed function is invaluable from heavy volume in cleaning out the buildup of dust and chips in tablesaws and planers, to the light "dusting off" needed on shelving and drawers (without blowing away the contents). It is equally as impressive on a job site as in the shop. The ability to clean off all the dust on your clothing from working around heavy sawdust, drywall dust etc. - this alone makes the blower a must have.
It would be hard to justify the purchase of this if it were to be the only LXT tool one were buying, given the fact that a charger and battery together will run $100+. But for someone with other LXT...Read more 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful: Video Review on the Makita LXT Blower, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool (Lawn & Patio) 
--2 month update --- We still use the Makita LXT Blower on a (almost) daily basis. My wife loves to use it to blow off the steps in our garage. It is the useful rechargeable tool we have ever purchased. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was somewhat skeptical when I ordered the Makita LXT Blower. I was worried that my 1.5aH battery would not fit or even if it did it wouldn't power the blower. I was also worried that even at full power that something this small wouldn't be up to the job - mainly blowing out my garage and cleaning the grass of my sidewalk. The Answers - - While the 1.5aH battery is not optimal (although I do have two from my Makita LCT300W 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 3-Piece...Read more 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful:  Works well for light duty clean up, By C.N. "CN" (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Makita BUB182Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Blower - Bare-tool (Lawn & Patio) For me it works well to clear up leaves around the pool. It is much smaller than the usual electric or gas power blower. The air flow is much more narrow but still powerful. It small and light enough that my six year old daughter can handle without difficulty. Added bonus, it works wonderfully in starting a charcoal fire. It take less than 1/4 time to do so.For major clean up I still prefer my old Homelite gas power blower. |
