Makita VS Makita

MAKITA DAS180 VS MAKITA AS001

Posted on by acthardware

The Makita DAS180Z (18V) and Makita AS001G (40V Max) are nearly identical in performance, with both delivering a maximum air velocity of 200 m/s and air volume of 1.1 m³/min. The primary difference lies in the battery platform you already own or plan to invest in, as the 18V LXT and 40V XGT systems are not cross-compatible

Performance Comparison

Despite the voltage difference, Makita engineered the 18V version to match the 40V model’s key output specs for tasks like cleaning workshops, blowing out anchor holes, or inflating pool toys.

Key Differences

  • Weight & Size: The DAS180Z is slightly lighter and more compact than the AS001G making it marginally more maneuverable for tight spaces.
  • Runtime: The 40V XGT system typically offers longer sustained runtime under heavy load due to its more advanced battery technology.
  • Battery Ecosystem: The 18V LXT system is vast and established, while the 40V XGT system is Makita’s newer, high-power platform designed for demanding trade applications

Practical Features

Both tools share the same versatile feature set:
  • 4-Stage Speed Control: Electronic selection for varying levels of force.
  • Quick-Change Nozzles: Tool-less attachment system for blowing and inflation.
  • Dual Functionality: Both can act as a vacuum for deflating items or suction tasks with an optional attachment.
  • LED Job Light: Built-in illumination for dark work areas.

Recommendation: If you are already on the 18V LXT platform, the DAS180Z is the logical choice as it provides full power without requiring a new battery system. Only choose the AS001G if you are moving toward 40V XGT tools for their higher peak performance in larger machinery.
