This Makita DBO480Z 18V LXT cordless palm sander offers electric speed control with 2 speed settings and efficient dust collection via a dust bag or forced dust collection. It features a tool-less paper clamp for easy paper changes and provides cordless mobility for stress-free sanding. The sander is compatible with the base and four pads used for current corded models, including square pads with and without hook and loop fasteners, a rectangular pad for louvered doors, and an extended triangular pad for louvered doors. It delivers high power, matching or exceeding the work efficiency of the BO4555/BO4556 in rough finish sanding of wood. The redesigned balancer minimizes tool vibration during operation, resulting in low vibration levels comparable to or lower than competing models. The sander boasts an ergonomically contoured grip for comfortable use and supports self-dust collection or direct connection to vacuum cleaners. The DBO480 model accommodates both clamping and hook and loop type papers, unlike the DBO481 which only accepts clamping type paper. This package includes a Makpac Inlay for a Type 2 Case. Batteries and charger are not included.
