Makita USA, Inc., the Japanese power tool giant released several new tools in the first half of 2008, including a new Backpack Blower, a Lithium-Ion Cordless Drywall Screwdriver Kit, and a random orbital sander.
Makita's Backpack Blower Makes "Less Noise" and Provides "Improved Fuel Efficiency"
Cordless Power Screwdriver
Released in the middle of July, the 75.6 cc 4-Stroke Backpack Blower, otherwise known as model BBX7600 is able to run 53 percent longer on each fuel tank than earlier 2-cycle engine types. In addition, the larger muffler makes it much quieter and more pleasant to use. The blower's noise output is only 99.1 dB, the quietest in its class.
"It's cleaner burning with better fuel efficiency, longer run time, and quieter operation," said Brent Withey, Makita Brand Manager. "Makita's new 4-stroke backpack blower is a big step up from the old 2-stroke models."
Not only is it quieter, but it is lightweight at 22.6 pounds, and very comfortable with wide shoulder straps and ventilation in the panel that sits on the back. Additionally the blower tube is now the home of the handle-grip and includes a 4-inch adjustable positioning system to make it more versatile and flexible.
And, as mentioned before, the engines are more fuel efficient, providing for 80 minutes of nonstop use with a 64 oz. fuel tank. It does not require a fuel mix but still packs a powerful punch with a maximum airspeed of 195 mpg and a maximum air volume of 526 cubic feet per minute. The BBX7600 is designed to be preferred choice of commercial lawn and garden caretakers. It truly is a best-in-class backpack blower.
The Cordless Drywall Screwdriver is a Very Powerful Option
The 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Drywall Screwdriver Kit, model BFS450 was also released in July and was highly touted for its powerful motor and ergonomic design.
"This cordless screwgun packs 18 volt Lithium-Ion battery technology, so it has plenty of power for drywall and framing applications," said Brad Wheeler, Makita Product Manager for Cordless Products. "This is a best-in-class solution for remodels, patchwork, and more."
The 4-pole motor performs with 4,000 RPM, running smoothly on the lithium-ion battery. The new 18V LXT lithium-ion battery increases the lifetime work of the screwdriver to 2 or 3 times the number of battery cycles on more traditional models. The new battery can be charged in less than a half hour, an incredible improvement on other common batteries. It also has a very comfortable, smooth handle for ease of use during lots of drywall work.
5-Inch Random Orbital Sander Provides Better Control and Fast Sanding
Finally, the random orbital sander, model BO5030K, was introduced in early August as a quality power tool that delivers best-in-class performance. It has a 3-AMP motor and 12,000 OPM and 1/8-inch random orbital action for fast and easy sanding. The sander also collects dust through the pad, making it safer for asthmatics and those with allergies to use. The BO5030K also includes a detachable dust bag for easy collection and disposal.
All of these new products come from a company that manufactures more than 450 high quality power tools and are covered by Makita's limited warranty guarantees.
