Makita UB181DZ Commercial Grade 18-Volt Cordless Variable Speed 179 mph Handheld Blower Best Review

I bought it because on one job I was there on a ladder, trying to blow the sawdust off an opera balcony (very tiny width) by going Puff!, Puff!. This did not work well. Neither did my brush. I finally got a can of air, which did not work very well. (Many repair jobs are all cordless, no air compressor - which would have worked well.) This blower would have been great.
I love it! It's cute, which is nice, but I love it 'cause it blows stuff. It works very well blowing stuff. Got a three position switch for gentle, huff and puff, and blow! It's great for cleanup for a carpenter.
I bought this as a naked tool to add to my Makita LiOn collection.
It turned out to be a compact little blower. Very handy. I use it on the job site to clean things off. Today we were cutting Hardie Plank with the saw (dust, crud, etc.). When done we picked up the blower and cleaned the table, the saw and us. At rollup it cleaned off the driveway, the cut station, the garage, etc., etc. Look, Maw! No cords. Just pick it up and blow.
@@@ Update - 2/20/09 Still in love...
The blower is becoming one of the most used tools in my Makita collection. It goes out on every job and gets used through the day.
Yesterday it was an 8' door install. Today it was a rotted porch rebuild. I was setting the sill bolts for new framing, drilling holes and cleaning out with the blower. A side shot to get the mound of debris off the hole, then straight down to blow the hole out. Worked fine.
Works well as I grind through the composite decking with a diamond blade. Stop now and again for a dust break and blow the crud into the bushes. That done, you can see the work area again.
