In this episode we take a look at the 3 in 1 Leaf blower vac from makita. It utilizes 2x 18v batteries to make a 36v tool, and it packs a punch. The blower is strong and the leaf vac also mulches the leaves down on a 10:1 ratio.

With lower noise and fewer emissions, the 18-Volt LXT Brushless Cordless Blower Kit with Vacuum Attachment (XBU04PTV) is a welcome solution for clean-up applications. The commercial design allows the blower to tackle demanding applications, comparable to gas blowers. The XBU04PTV easily converts from blower to vacuum/mulcher. The Makita-built BL Brushless Motor delivers speed up to 120 MPH and up to 473 CFM. Makita's efficient BL Brushless Motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per battery charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. Makita's Brushless Motors run cooler and more efficiently for longer life.
