MakitaDUB185Z 18V Li-ion LXT Blower - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Bought this as others as already in the 18v Makita tools rabbit hole. This maybe small, but does pack a punch - using it for garage workshop. Blowing off sawdust etc from projects, floor and tools. Lightweight, good size and well built, so should last a while.Happy has three speed settings as high is creating a dust cloud in garage. I only really use the first two as more than enough for required. Others note the length of the nozzle but think this is perfect even outside.I was choosing between the DUB185 and the DUB186 with longer nozzle. These are the same machine, but the longer nozzle decreases the air velocity to 68m/s as apposed to 98m/s for the 185. If i feel i need a longer nozzle for say the garden or reach, you can buy it for £12. But blowing debris of driveway, had no issue with shorter nozzle and using 5amp battery.Overall, wish i had got sooner and recommend.

Handy little blower. I have a big Stihl petrol blower but not everybody in my house can start it so they wanted a battery model. I have many Makita tools and batteries so this made sense.This blower is very lightweight and the battery lasts about 20 minutes so ideal for clearing the patio area. It’s also good for blowing out the garage as it can be used gently.Of all the battery tools I get to use, a blower is the best: quieter, lightweight, easy to direct.

Yes, this thing is small - but it works! I use it all the time (every few days at this time of year) to clear dry leaves off my large driveway and rear patio. This thing is *much* better than using a broom. It does a better job and is much, much faster. And being small, it lives in the cupboard by the front door.I had Makita batteries already, so my outlay was small. I don't know how much 'better' the bigger blowers would be, because this one works perfectly well for me.My only criticism is that the short nozzle makes me want to stoop a bit. But I can clear the whole drive in a few minutes, so that isn't a problem. Yes, I recommend this for clearing dry leaves from driveways.

I bought it to use as a car blower and it didn’t disappoint. Noise levels are ok not too loud, you do have to set it to 3 for a decent Blowing power as it doesn’t seem to do much at 2/1. It’s easy to use trigger design and light weight makes it a great kit.

I got this as all the lambs tails as we call them fall off the tree in our drive so igot this to blow them off, and it is brilliant, well worth the money.

Excellent little blower. Smaller than I was expecting but powerful and perfect for what I need. I wouldn't recommend this for clearing your driveway but I think it is probably powerful enough to do so.

Very useful, very strong

Great little blower, more powerful than expected. Blow tools clean in seconds rather than hoovering for minutes.
