Makita UB004CZ ConnectX Brushless 738CFM Backpack Blower – Tool Only

The Makita UB004CZ ConnectX™ Backpack Blower delivers the performance of a 64cc gas blower—without the noise, emissions, or routine maintenance of traditional fuel-powered units. With a Makita-built brushless motor and compatibility with the ConnectX™ Portable Backpack Power Supply, this cordless powerhouse is purpose-built for professional landscaping crews transitioning to battery-powered platforms. With up to 738 CFM of airflow and a maximum air velocity of 181 MPH in boost mode, it handles heavy debris, wet leaves, and large outdoor cleanup tasks with ease.

Designed for comfort and control during extended use, the UB004CZ features an ergonomic harness system inspired by hiking packs, a variable-speed trigger, and a cruise control lever with a telescoping nozzle to reduce strain and adapt to different operator heights. The control handle features a power button, allowing the blower to be turned on while already strapped on. The unit includes a tool-less adjustable handle, rubberized soft grip, and in-line fan design for balanced operation. With IPX4 weather resistance and Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), this blower is engineered for demanding outdoor conditions.

When powered by the ConnectX™ delivers up to 2 hours of runtime, making it ideal for commercial crews and municipalities looking to move away from gas without compromising performance or productivity.
