4ê AND 8ê CONCRETE VIBRATORS PROVIDE Lightweight TRADE SOLUTIONS

ACE TOOL congratulates Makita U.S.A. on the release of their new 18V LXT Lithium-ion 4ê Cordless Concrete Vibrator model BVR450 and BVR450Z and 8ê Cordless Concrete Vibrator model BVR850 and BVR850Z which add to the already extensive LXT Series of 24 models. The new Makita  18V LXT Extreme Lithium-Ion Technology is a breakthrough in cordless technology with more power, less weight and better engineering utilizing LXT Lithium-ion battery technology.

Makita is no stranger to Cordless Concrete Vibrators with the first model introduced in 1999. The new 4ê LXT models are ideal for applications where the professional residential and commercial contractor needs cordless portability, such as, footers, slabs, walls, repairs and insulated concrete forms. The 8ê LXT models will handle the similar applications as the 4ê models with even more versatility, such as, on an 8ê retaining wall.

Along with the Makita-built motor producing an efficient 13,000 VPM (4ê flexible shaft) and 12,500 VPM (8ê flexible shaft) the 1” vibrator head helps increase the strength of concrete. For less operator fatigue, the 4ê models weigh only 8.2 lbs. and the 8ê models weigh 11.7 lbs. In addition, there is an ergonomic two-directional switch that adds more comfort when holding the Concrete Vibrators in vertical or horizontal positions. There is also a protective battery cover that protects the LXT battery from the debris and concrete found on the jobsite. With the Makita best-in-class engineering, LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah battery and 45-minute Optimum Charging System the LXT Concrete Vibrators have a run time of up to 25 minutes on a single charge.

Models BVR540 and BVR850 are kits that include (2) two LXT Lithium-Ion (3.0Ah) batteries, 45-minute Optimum charger and-duty case while models BVR450Z and BVR850Z are tools only.
