Makita 18V LXT Brushless Dust Blower DAS180Z — Compact Cordless Blower with Vacuum Function and Tool-less Nozzle

Makita DAS180Z is a compact 18V cordless dust blower with a brushless motor that switches between four air-volume modes, includes a vacuum function, and accepts LXT slide batteries (battery and charger sold separately).

The DAS180Z packs a high-efficiency brushless motor into a lightweight body built for workshop and outdoor cleanup. It offers up to 10.3 kPa sealed suction, variable air speed and a tool-less nozzle system for quick accessory changes. Designed around Makita's 18V LXT slide batteries (not included), this blower is engineered for short, powerful bursts or extended light-duty runs depending on the selected mode.

How powerful is the DAS180Z and what performance can I expect?

The blower delivers both strong airflow and measurable suction for clearing dust, debris and even light liquids when using the vacuum function. Air velocity and volume change across four modes so you can choose power or runtime as needed.

• Maximum sealed suction: 10.3 kPa (with air vent hose assembled)
• Top air velocity: 200 m/s with nozzle 7 on mode 4
• Maximum air volume: 1.1 m3/min
• Brushless motor for efficient power delivery

What runtime should I expect from a full LXT battery?

Runtime varies by mode and battery capacity. Using a fully charged BL1860B 18V 6.0Ah battery (sold separately) gives long run-times on lower settings and shorter high-power runs when you need maximum airflow.

• Mode 1: about 55 minutes continuous
• Mode 2: about 30 minutes continuous
• Mode 3: about 20 minutes continuous
• Mode 4: about 15 minutes continuous

Which features make the DAS180Z easy to use on the job?

Makita designed this tool with quick-change and safety features to reduce downtime and improve handling. Controls are built to lock for continuous use and the nozzle swaps without tools for fast transitions between tasks.

• Tool-less one-touch nozzle replacement for fast setup
• Trigger lock and lock-on button for continuous running
• LED job light to illuminate tight or dim work areas
• Anti-restart function to prevent accidental starts after battery insertion

Can the DAS180Z handle delicate electronics or inflating items?

The adjustable air volume and included nozzle options let you tailor airflow for gentle or forceful jobs. Use lower modes for electronics and inflation, higher modes for sweeping dust from larger surfaces.

• Four-stage air volume control for precise airflow
• Vacuum function with filter to capture debris rather than scatter it
• Suitable for inflating/deflating inner tubes and paddling pools
• Good for cleaning narrow spaces, tools and air filters

Who this is for: The Makita DAS180Z is aimed at tradespeople, workshop technicians and homeowners who need a portable, battery-powered blower for fast cleanup, light vacuuming and inflation tasks. It suits anyone already invested in Makita’s 18V LXT battery platform looking for a compact blower with tool-less accessories and multiple power modes. Note: batteries and charger are not included; use genuine Makita LXT batteries for warranty coverage, and this model is not compatible with G-Series batteries.
