Makita DSL800ZU 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Drywall Sander - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Product Information

For improved efficiency, it’s equipped with Auto-Start Wireless System technology (AWS®). AWS utilizes Bluetooth® technology for wireless communication between the tool and dust extractor (sold separately). When the trigger of the AWS-equipped XLS01 is engaged, the AWS-equipped dust extractor powers-up. When the trigger is released, the dust extractor powers-down. AWS is intelligent communication that eliminates cords and excessive noise since the dust extractor runs only when the tool is running.

The drywall sander itself functions really well. It is lightweight with good balance, holds the pads really well and doesn't bog down at all with normal sanding pressure given it's cordless.

Basically, the Makita XLS01 includes a Bluetooth AWS chip that works with their 18V X2 cordless vacuum. It automatically (and wirelessly) powers-on and powers-off the Makita XCV16 cordless dust extractor automatically when the tool activates. That’s when you will use a drywall sander.You may still need to use a detail sander to get into tight edges and corners, but an electric drywall sander will do the bulk of the flat walls in a very short space of time.
