Makita AS001GZ 40V Max Li-ion XGT Brushless Dust Blower, Batteries and Chargers Not Included

Product Information

The SnapFresh Max comes with a 20V battery and a charger, which is something you don’t always see with electric blowers. Just note that you only get about 20 minutes of use at max speed from one battery (or 35 minutes of use at low speeds). For that reason, you would be wise to invest in a second battery if you need to do any serious tasks.

Besides those two points, the XBU02Z is a great choice for your new leaf blower. Consider adding a flat end nozzle attachment or a tube extension to improve performance! Makita is also really good about offering significant promotional add-ons like extra batteries or even additional tools. Keep an eye out. The dynamic airflow intake design is linear meaning that air is taken through one side of the machine and shot through the barrel on the other side. Like a jet engine, the turbine doesn’t waste any time moving air around. The WG591 can easily be used with one hand with the variable speed trigger and turbo boost functions both within reach of one thumb. The axial brushless motor design provides high power with maximum efficiency and extends your runtime. It is significantly more powerful than a 20V blower and will rival a decent handheld gas-powered blower. Slap in the battery and go to town on those leaves, needles, and yard debris. There is no power button, no turbo buttons or dials; squeeze that trigger and you’re on your way. The chunky, built-in stand is sturdy and handy to allow placement of the blower without having to be too careful. The air nozzle tube is a healthy 3-1/2″ in diameter and throws out a massive 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM) that will clear just about anything short of numerous, massive damp piles of fallen leaves (look at DeWalt’s DCBL770X1 for a larger model that will serve larger yards better). The Ah rating will tell you how long a battery will last per charge. For instance, a 3.0 Ah battery should last at least three hours. The larger the number, the longer the battery should last but that is dependent on power use and more.It’s a very powerful, very efficient, and very effective leaf blower. My challenge, unfortunately, lies with the included 56 Volt battery. It’s a 2Ah version which means you’re only going to get about 15 solid operational minutes out of a charge, less if you throttle up with the turbo feature.

Cruise control lever with variable speed trigger adjusts between 0 - 476 CFM for power and run time management Think of the Ah rating as the size of your fuel tank. Keep in mind that it’s tough to give a wholly accurate runtime estimate as it also depends on what tool you’re using and how much power that tool demands. A reciprocating saw is going to drain your battery faster than a flashlight will and a cordless string trimmer isn’t going to be very useful with a 2.0 Ah battery. stage telescoping long nozzle allows the user to adjust the nozzle of the blower to cover varying area ranges. The in-line fan design provides better tool balance and improved ergonomics. Centrifugal fans, on the other hand, move air radially (from the center) instead of pulling air through the fan parallel to the axis. Air is pulled through a side intake and the blades mounted to a circular fan hub spin, thereby catching the incoming air and throwing it away from the hub at a 90-degree angle. There are other features to consider with a cordless leaf blower as well such as weight. Do you need a real lightweight machine or would you be okay with a heavier unit with a shoulder sling? Got some huge piles to blow down?The XGT® Rapid Charger’s built-in chip thoroughly communicates during the charging process to control current, voltage, and temperature for more efficient charging With zero emissions and lower noise, the 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless Blower (GBU01Z) is a welcome solution for professional landscaping clean-up applications. stage telescoping blower nozzle features an adjustment range of 5" extending pipe closer to ground for user convenience Fans come in two categories: Axial and Centrifugal. Axial models are named because of the direction of airflow the fan creates. You know that box fan you pull out in the summer or the ceiling fan in your family room? Those are axial fans. The blades spin around the center shaft to create a difference in air pressure that provides suction to move air through. The Ego Power+ LB5804 is a serious contender for the champion of the cordless leaf blower world. If you want power, this machine will give it to you and then some.

[Learn More] The SnapFresh Max Cordless Leaf Blower is a medium-duty yard maintenance tool that strikes a solid balance between price and performance, making it a great option for taking on daily yard care tasks. It has a variable speed motor with two-speed settings, the most powerful of which can output 420 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow at a speed of 100 MPH. The 40V max XGT® Brushless High-Speed Dust Blower is a handheld solution with a convenient in-line design for focused dust and debris removal. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 447 MPH and 39 CFM with four speed settings, and up to 50 minutes of continuous run time with a 40V XGT® 2.5Ah battery (battery sold separately). It includes five nozzles for a range of applications.The kit that we’re reviewing here includes two 20V 2.5Ah batteries and a dual-charger; it’s a great deal if you have other Worx power tools. Keep in mind that 40V batteries aren’t compatible with this blower (it’s really a 2x20V leaf blower for 40 combined Volts of power) nor do they work with the dual-charger.

XGT® Batteries feature rigid rails with impact-resistant construction to secure the battery to the tool during high-demand applications (batteries not included) XGT® Batteries feature rigid rails with impact-resistant construction to secure the battery to the tool during high-demand applications The Milwaukee Electric Tools 2724-20 M18 Fuel Cordless Leaf Blower does not come with a battery or charger; make sure to get a high capacity battery (at least 9.0Ah) because this beast is power-hungry and it’s dinner time. The bright side is that the WG591 will throw so much air out that your work shouldn’t take that long even when dealing with large piles of wet leaves. If you’re looking for a commercial blower, keep looking. But for most homeowners, this leaf blower should be more than enough.The grip is perfectly angled along with the extendable nozzle to give you efficient control for sweeping, and thanks to its low noise emissions, is ideal for areas where noise levels are restrictive such as hospitals and schools.
