This makes the Makita DUB183 more usable for blowing leaves and grass clippings after cutting the grass. It is longer than the supplied nozzle used for blowing/sucking, so that you can use the device at waist-height. It does not shift larger quantities of leaves like,say a petrol blower, but is useful in tidying up rather than using a broom. A handy lightweight tool. A good companion to the Makita cordless strimmer which takes the same 18v battery.
