Makita - 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless 1.6 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Dust Extractor, AWS Capable  - XCV18ZX

The Makita 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 1.6 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Dust Extractor, AWS Capable (XCV18ZX) is a powerful and portable clean-up solution that eliminates extension cords that trail corded backpack vacuums. The XCV18ZX is ideal for construction applications when used as part of a dust extraction system. It's also a powerful and portable dust extraction solution for contractors by bridging the gap between low-capacity on-board dust extraction systems and larger capacity but less portable wheeled canister job site vacuums. The XCV18ZX is powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately) for 36V power and performance but without leaving the 18V LXT® battery platform. The efficient BL Brushless Motor generates 64 CFM of suction and 44” of static water lift for fast clean-ups and improved dust extraction, with no cord to pull along or get in the way. The XCV18ZX weighs 15 lbs. (with empty dust bag and two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, batteries sold separately) and has padded shoulder straps and waist belt with multiple adjustments for a comfortable fit. Cordless and compact, the push button power selection controller attaches to the waist belt of the harness for convenient operation. The efficient HEPA filter combined with the filter bag captures large, small and micro dust particulates, and the half-gallon dust collection container is easily removed for dust disposal. When using two 18V 5.0Ah batteries, users will get up to 62 minutes of continuous operation on low setting and 33 minutes on the high setting. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protect
