The Makita 18V LXT Cordless Blower/Vacuum is a compact 18V cordless blower for controlled cleanup around jobsites, workshops and maintenance areas. It delivers up to 113 CFM of air volume and 219 MPH air velocity, with three speed ranges and a variable-speed trigger for matching airflow to the task. The tool can also be converted for vacuum operation with the optional Makita 123241-2 vacuum bag. This is a tool-only listing; battery and charger are sold separately.
Controlled Airflow for Detailed Cleanup
High, medium and low speed ranges provide a practical starting point for different cleanup jobs, while the variable-speed trigger lets the operator adjust airflow within the selected range. This control is useful when moving dust, sawdust and light debris without applying full output to every surface.
Blower and Vacuum Flexibility
The included nozzle assembly equips the tool for blowing tasks. For collection work, the DUB185Z can convert to vacuum operation using Makita vacuum bag 123241-2, which is optional and not included. A compatible long garden nozzle is also available separately for applications where a longer reach is useful.
Compact Cordless Handling
At 20-3/8 inches long and 2.9 pounds without a battery, this handheld blower is suited to quick cleanup where a larger, high-volume outdoor blower would be unnecessary. Its rubberized grip helps provide comfortable control, and the 18V LXT platform allows buyers who already use compatible Makita batteries to add the tool without purchasing another battery system.

Ideal Applications
This compact blower is well suited to maintenance teams, contractors and workshop operators clearing sawdust, dust and light debris from benches, equipment, work areas and confined spaces. Its focused 113 CFM output is intended for controlled cleanup rather than the high-volume leaf-moving work handled by larger outdoor blowers.
