With zero emissions and lower noise, the 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless Blower (GBU01Z) is a welcome solution for professional landscaping clean-up applications.

The brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life and delivers speeds up to 143 MPH air velocity. Select turbo boost mode for 564 CFM to move heavy debris.

The blower features a variable speed trigger to adjust speeds between 0-476 CFM. A cruise control lever provides management of power and run time and a speed lock provides continuous operation.

3-stage telescoping long nozzle allows the user to adjust the nozzle of the blower to cover varying area ranges. The in-line fan design provides better tool balance and improved ergonomics.

For added durability in harsh job site conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance.

A hole at the housing bottom allows the blower to be hung for easy storage.
