Makita 18V Brushless Blower (DUB184 Range)
Take control of your outdoor cleanup with the Makita 18V Brushless Blower (DUB184Z). Designed to deliver commercial-grade clearing power in a lightweight, highly maneuverable cordless package, this blower utilizes an advanced Brushless motor to generate performance comparable to dual-battery (18Vx2) models, but with the sheer convenience of a single 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery. Producing an impressive maximum air volume of 13m³/min and a blistering air velocity of 187km/h, it effortlessly clears damp leaves, grass clippings, and heavy debris from pathways, driveways, and job sites.
Ergonomics and operator comfort are at the core of the DUB184Z's design. Weighing just 3.0kg with a standard battery installed (and only 2.4kg as a bare tool), it dramatically reduces fatigue during extended use. The engineered optimum grip-to-frame angle naturally positions the nozzle towards the ground, ensuring maximum sweeping efficiency without straining your wrist. Furthermore, it features a variable speed trigger equipped with a convenient cruise control lock, allowing you to set and maintain the exact airspeed required for the task without constantly holding down the trigger.
