Product Information

When it comes to Outdoor Power Equipment ( OPE), it seems like every manufacturer has a tool to offer. All Makita ® Nozzle Attachments are manufactured from high-quality materials for added durability and long life.

We rated and ranked each product based on its measured airflow and air velocity, two crucial industry benchmarks. This score is based on how balanced the 36V LXT Brushless is, how its grip feels, where its air intake vent is, and how much it weighs. Both of these models are part of a battery family, making them good options for folks who already own products in either line or are looking to build out a new suite of battery-operated power tools.
