Today's landscapers and contractors are demanding more cordless alternatives to gas-powered equipment. Battery operated for zero emissions and reduced maintenance, the LXT blower is a welcome solution for a wide variety of outdoor cleanup applications. The efficient BL brushless motor is engineered to optimize battery strength for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools ... up to 28 minutes of run time at mid speed. Electronic controls maximize battery energy to match changing demands during use, providing increased power and speed when needed. Operates on two 18V, 5 Ah LXT batteries (included). The supplied dual-port charger restores both batteries to full power in just 45 minutes, so they spend more time working and less time recharging.
