Makita 18V LXT Blower (DUB186 Range)

The Makita 18V Blower (DUB186) is a lightweight, high-performance cordless cleaning solution designed to easily sweep debris from gardens, pathways, and hard surfaces. Powered by the reliable Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery platform, this blower is equipped with an 18V motor that delivers an impressive maximum air velocity of 244.8km/h and a maximum air volume of 3.2m³/min. Whether you're clearing leaves from the driveway or sweeping dust out of the workshop, the DUB186 provides the convenience of cordless operation without sacrificing performance.

Designed with ergonomics and user comfort in mind, the DUB186 features an optimum grip-to-frame angle, which provides the ideal nozzle-to-ground angle for efficient sweeping operations. It comes standard with an extra-long, curved nozzle designed specifically for comfortable cleaning of footpaths and hard surfaces without requiring the user to bend over. Weighing a mere 2.1kg with a standard battery installed (and just 1.5kg as a bare tool), this lightweight design ensures that the blower can be comfortably used for extended periods without causing fatigue.

Ideal For:

  • Home & Garden Maintenance: The long, curved nozzle and 244.8km/h air velocity make it perfect for quickly clearing dry leaves and grass clippings from driveways, patios, and lawns.
  • Workshop Cleanup: Its compact size and variable speed control allow for precise clearing of sawdust and debris from benchtops and tight workshop corners.
  • Tradespeople: A highly portable, lightweight solution for rapid job site cleanup before packing up for the day.

Key Features:

  • 18V LXT Motor: Powered by the extensive 18V Li-ion battery platform, delivering strong blowing force.
  • 3-Stage Speed Selection: An improved switch allows you to easily select between high, medium, and low air speed and volume settings to suit the task at hand.
  • Curved Long Nozzle: Comes with a long nozzle featuring a curved end, optimizing airflow directed at the ground for comfortable, upright floor cleaning.
  • Optimum Grip Angle: Designed to naturally point the nozzle towards the ground, maximizing sweeping efficiency and reducing wrist strain.
  • Ultra-Lightweight: Weighs only 2.1kg with a battery, allowing for prolonged, comfortable use.

Available Variations:

  • DUB186Z: Tool Only (Skin) - No batteries or charger included.
  • DUB186SF Kit: Includes the Blower, 1x 18V 3.0Ah Battery, and 1x Single Port Optimum Charger (DC18SD).

What does 'Skin Only' or 'Tool Only' mean?

In the power tool industry, 'Skin Only' means the box contains the DUB186 Blower unit and the long rubber nozzle, but it DOES NOT include the 18V lithium-ion battery or the wall charger. Those must be purchased separately.

Can I use my existing Makita 18V drill batteries?

Yes! This is the primary advantage of the Makita 18V platform. If you already own standard Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries (such as 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, or 6.0Ah) from your power tools, they will slide directly into this blower.

What is the difference between this 'Long Nozzle' (DUB186) and the 'Short Nozzle' (DUB185)?

The DUB186 (Long Nozzle) is 861mm long, designed explicitly for outdoor landscaping so you can stand perfectly upright and blow leaves off the ground without bending your back. The DUB185 (Short Nozzle) is only 517mm long, designed for close-up indoor worksite cleanups and workbenches.

How does the '3-Stage Air Volume' and 'Variable Trigger' work?

There is a dial on the handle with numbers 1, 2, and 3. This sets the maximum power limit. The trigger is also pressure-sensitive. If you set the dial to 3 (High) but only pull the trigger halfway, it only blows at half power, giving you absolute, surgical control over the wind.

Is 244.8 km/h enough power to move wet leaves?

Yes! While it is a lightweight 18V machine, 244.8 km/h provides an absolutely massive thrust force. It is incredibly capable of ripping heavy, wet, matted autumn leaves and thick, sticky grass clippings directly off wet asphalt and concrete driveways.

Why is the air velocity lower than the Short Nozzle version?

The short nozzle (DUB185) creates a tiny, highly restricted opening, creating higher speed (352 km/h) but covering a tiny area. The long nozzle (DUB186) is wider at the end. It drops the speed slightly (244 km/h) but pushes a massively wider volume of air (3.2 m³/min), which is required to sweep large pathways efficiently.

How long will the battery last?

It depends entirely on the speed setting. If you lock it on the absolute 'Lowest Speed' setting with a massive 5.0Ah battery, it can run for up to 2 hours. However, if you hold the trigger continuously on maximum 'High' speed, expect approximately 15-20 minutes of heavy-duty clearing power.

Is the motor 'Brushless'?

No. The DUB186 utilizes a highly proven, heavy-duty brushed DC motor. It delivers incredible raw 18,000 RPM power and high velocity, but keeps the initial purchase price of the landscaping tool exceptionally economical for homeowners.

Is 2.1kg heavy to hold for a long time?

Not at all. 2.1kg (which includes the weight of a heavy 5.0Ah battery) is exceptionally lightweight for an outdoor blower. Because the long nozzle points naturally at the ground, the tool balances perfectly in your hand, completely preventing severe shoulder fatigue during a long shift.

Can I use this to blow dirt out of my delicate flower beds?

Yes! This is the major benefit of the 3-speed dial. You simply turn the dial down to 'Low'. This provides a gentle breeze that softly pushes the dead leaves out of the garden bed without violently ripping up your expensive mulch or destroying delicate flower petals.

Can I attach a dust bag and use it as a vacuum?

While the motor housing is identical to the DUB185 (which can be a vacuum), using a massive 861mm long sweeping nozzle to suck up sharp twigs and heavy dirt is highly unadvised, as the debris will likely jam in the long tube or destroy the internal fan blades.

Do you offer trade pricing for landscaping companies?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial landscaping contractors, municipal maintenance teams, and facility managers ordering bulk cordless garden equipment. Contact us to establish your account.
