Makita Concrete Vibrators

Makita has introduced the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion cordless 8-foot concrete vibrator. With lithium batteries and a self-cooling charger, this vibrator can produce 280 percent total lifetime work with two times more cycles. The vibrator is compact at only 105.5 inches and weighs less than 12 pounds. The motor produces 13,000 vpm. A 1-inch diameter head supported by dual ball bearings means maximum consistency. Its ergonomic dual directional switch means the tool can be held in either horizontal or vertical positions. The vibrator also features a protective cover on the switch and battery to prevent contamination.

There is a three-year warranty on the tool and one-year warranty on the battery. The vibrator comes with 2 LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah batteries, a 45-minute optimum charger that has a built-in fan to cool the battery, and a tool case.
