The batteries are great and last much longer. Although it is supposed to be compatible with all “Star” Makita tools, the batteries do not easily slide into the reciprocating saw base. They fit easily on my drill and impact gun. Just wish they would slide into reciprocating saw just as easily.

I liked it a lot because it has a lot of strength and it doesn’t make much noise I don’t have to be smelling that smell of smoke

Light weight and more than sufficient capability for any type and condition of your Fall . Battery duration and recharging speeds is very good too.

Whoa this thing blows. Probably the most powerful blower ever. It is also way quieter than any blower around. And whoa does it eat batteries. This blower on 6 (I have no idea why they used 6 as fastest, come on Makita, this thing deserves an 11) will blow stones around – pretty darn big ones. Leaves are child’s play. Wet compacted leaves, still super easy. The balance in great in hand. It isn’t too heavy. Noise level is fantastic. Probably still a good idea to wear ear protection.The one downside to this puppy – battery eating. I have three sets of two batteries. It is possible to use the blower continuously with two double chargers working. If you only have two sets or a single set, you’ll have to find something else to do while the batteries charge. I’m guessing this gets about 20-30 minutes of blow time. A lot of jobs can be blown in that time. But if you have a really big job, get three sets of batteries. Even though it eats batteries like no tomorrow, I love this thing. I can finally blow all the sand out of my garage. Get all those corners completely clean. And can use it to dry my car (it is a nearly ideal blower for car drying). Not to mention it does a great job on leaves.

Works well and has lots of power. DOES NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY

When my gas powered leaf blower’s engine froze, i saw the Makita. Excellent power. Not your typical battery operated tool. The 36v two battery system is light and moves a lot of air. I have most of the Makita family of tools and this is another great fit.

Plenty of power and long lasting battery life..little expensive, but we’ll worth it.

Seem very well made and function as expected! Great pack to supplement the the existing tools and keep the job moving!
Macey Sanford (verified owner) –
Works great
Emmett Ondricka (verified owner) –
Works very well and it is very powerful. It is really convenient because it’s instant on with no cranking, gas, and smoke. It does go through batteries quickly so you will need to buy the larger batteries.
Brandy Herman (verified owner) –
very impressive,powerful and quiet,then I discovered I didnt even have it on its highest setting
Flossie Wintheiser (verified owner) –
Really easy to assemble. You will want bigger batteries esp if using the high setting.

Awesome

The blower was a bit pricey but I’m glad I purchased it. Before I purchased the blower, I searched around on YouTube and found a lady moving gravel around with this blower. I was impressed and Makita has already won me over with their other brushless motor products (drills).I was able to blow out stubborn oak leaves and acorns out of my lawn from the neighbors oak tree. I was able to blow out cob webs from the wheel well of my Chevelle from five feel away.I cut down my post yard work cleanup by more than half the time!

I am impressed with the quality and precission of the tool. A little disapoointed to find out my existing battery packs wouldnt work in the saw, so had to buy two batteries and charger.
Henderson Friesen (verified owner) –
Relatively short battery on my existing small 3ah batteries. Otherwise exceeds expectations.
Chandler McCullough (verified owner) –
Great product!! Works well.

The disappointing thing about this product is that on a full charge it only runs for 30 minutes and less
