Details for Makita GCV06Z 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 1/2 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Dust Extractor, AWS Capable, Tool Only

The Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless 1/2 Gallon HEPA Filter Backpack Dry Dust Extractor (GCV06) with AWS is a powerful and portable clean-up solution that eliminates extension cords that trail corded backpack dust extractors. It's a powerful and portable dust extraction solution for contractors by bridging the gap between low-capacity on-board dust extraction systems and larger capacity but less portable wheeled canister job site vacuums. The GCV06 is ideal for cleaning crews, as well as for construction applications when used as part of a dust extraction system.

The GCV06 is powered by one 40V max XGT battery (sold separately) for power and performance. The efficient Makita-built brushless motor generates 67 CFM of suction and 72” of static water lift for fast clean-ups and improved dust extraction, with no cord to pull along or get in the way.
