Makita has introduced the worlds first cordless drywall sander with the 18V Brushless Cordless 9″ Drywall Sander XLS01T as a kit and XLS01S as a baretool.
It’s very similar to your typical corded drywall sander with telescoping handle but now cordless thanks to the use of Makita’s 18V batteries. This is a pure 18V tool and by that I mean it only uses one 18 volt battery unlike many of Makita’s newest tools that have come out recently but require two batteries.
Makita’s cordless drywall sander spins a large 9 inch sandpaper pad uitilizing it’s direct drive brushless motor at the head of the tool. A vacuum hose runs througout the interior of the tool with a vacuum port at the base of the tool for use with a vacuum for dust free sanding. It’s also equipped with Makita’s wireless AWS system which stands for autostart wireless system that uses bluetooth to communicate with an AWS equipped dust extractor to operate the dust extractor only when the tool is operating. The sander also features a removable dust brush with easy glide roller wheels allows for seamless flush-to-wall edge sanding. Users can match the speed to the application with a variable speed control dial (1,000 – 1,800 RPM), and Constant Speed Control automatically provides additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load for consistent performance. It has up to 35 minutes of run-time, using 120 grit abrasive discs with a 5.0Ah Battery.
The Makita 18V Brushless Cordless 9″ Drywall Sander is available now as low as $509 as a baretool.
