Makita DBO381 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Finishing Sander
The Makita DBO381 is a cordless finishing sander powered by Makita's 18v LXT battery system, designed for professional sanding applications. This brushless model features an innovative Auto-Start Wireless System that connects via Bluetooth to compatible dust extractors, automatically activating them when the sander is switched on for improved dust control and convenience on site.
The brushless motor technology delivers efficient performance whilst extending battery life and tool longevity. Three electronic speed settings (4,000, 8,000, and 12,000 orbits per minute) are easily selectable via push button, allowing tradespeople to match the sanding speed to the material and finish required. The constant speed control maintains consistent performance under load for predictable results.
Practical features include a tool-less paper clamp for quick abrasive changes, a detachable front grip for comfortable handling in different positions, and an in-built dust extraction mechanism. The 93 x 185mm pad size with hook and loop fastening makes this sander ideal for finishing work on doors, furniture, joinery, and trim where a quality surface is essential. The 2mm orbit diameter provides the fine finishing action required for preparation and final sanding tasks.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
