The Makita 18V X2 LXT Lithium-Ion (36 V) Brushless cordless 1/2 Gallon HEPA filter backpack dry vacuum (tool only) is a powerful and portable clean-up solution that eliminates extension cords that trail corded backpack vacuums. It's also a powerful and portable dust extraction solution for contractors that bridges the gap between low-capacity on-board dust extraction systems and larger capacity but less portable wheeled canister job site vacuums. The XCV05Z is ideal for cleaning crews, as well as for construction applications when used as part of a dust extraction system (tool connecting adapters sold separately). The XCV05Z is powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately) for 36 V power and performance but without leaving the 18V LXT battery platform. The efficient BL Brushless Motor generates 53 CFM of suction and 28.5 in. of static water lift for fast clean-ups and improved dust extraction, with no cord to pull along or get in the way. The XCV05Z weighs only 9.4 lbs. (with empty dust bag and two 18V 5.0 Ah 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, and the 39 in. flexible hose has a telescoping extension wand with 20 in. 34 in. of additional reach. 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 5.0 Ah batteries, users will get up to 90 minutes of continuous operation on low setting and 60 minutes on the high setting.
