Is the battery included?

No. This is the bare tool, so you need a Makita 18V LXT battery and charger you already own.

How does it switch between blowing and vacuuming?

You twist the nozzle to the other orientation. No tools are needed for the swap.

How strong is the suction?

Makita rates it at 10.3 kPa sealed suction, enough for damp leaves and twigs, with a filter screen catching oversized debris.

How long does it run?

Makita claims up to 55 minutes on the lowest of the four speeds with a fully charged 18V LXT pack. Higher speeds drain the battery faster.

Can it inflate air mattresses?

Yes. The blower nozzle works on flat-bottomed inflatables, so it doubles as a pump for mattresses and pool toys.

Does it work with other battery brands?

No. It is built only for Makita 18V LXT slide packs.

Our take on the Bad Boy 18V Cordless Blower and Vacuum

The Makita DAS180Z is a handheld 18V LXT blower and vacuum that flips between the two modes with a tool-less nozzle twist. A brushless motor delivers 10.3 kPa sealed suction and up to 200 m/s air velocity, with four speed stages and a lock-on trigger. It suits LXT owners who want one tool for paths, decks, garages and inflatables rather than separate blower and vac units. Against dedicated leaf blowers it trades raw volume for vacuum capability, and it runs only on Makita 18V LXT packs, sold as a bare tool.

About the Bad Boy 18V Cordless Blower and Vacuum

This is a handheld 18V cordless blower and vacuum. A brushless motor produces 10.3 kPa of sealed suction, enough to pull in damp leaves and twigs. In blower mode, air speed reaches up to 200 m/s to clear grit, sand and moisture from surfaces.

A tool-less flip nozzle switches the unit between blowing and vacuum modes. Four airflow stages range from gentle dusting to heavy pile clearing. A lock-on trigger keeps the air running without finger strain during long sessions.

A front-mounted LED light shows dark areas such as under decks or behind bins. A protective filter screens out oversized debris to guard the internal components during vacuuming. An anti-restart feature blocks accidental activation when a charged battery is reinserted. Runtime is up to 55 minutes on the lowest setting with a fully charged 18V battery.
