This is a vibratory concrete screed designed for leveling and consolidating slabs, sidewalks, driveways and patios. The model number is VL001GZ, and it ships as the power head only. The 3 ft., 4-1\/2 ft. and 6 ft. screed bars, batteries and charger are sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power head drives the screed bar at 11,000 vibrations per minute. That vibration levels the pour faster and improves compaction compared to hand screeding with a straightedge, so you work the slab to grade with fewer passes and less back strain. The lightweight aluminum screed bar delivers uniform end-to-end vibration across its length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing cordless removes the gas engine, the fuel and the pull starts that come with a typical vibratory screed. Makita rates run time at over 2 hours with a fully charged 40V max XGT 4.0Ah High Power Battery. A lock-on button holds the motor running during long passes, and the rubber grip reduces vibration transferred to your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConcrete is hard on tools, and the VL001GZ is built for it. A battery cover protects the pack against concrete intrusion, and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) improves dust and water resistance for harsh conditions. The lever-style lock system swaps screed bars without tools so you can match the bar to the form width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tool weighs 8.7 lbs. with battery and measures 58-1\/2 in. long. It runs on Makita 40V max XGT batteries, and XGT digital communication protects against overload, over-discharge and overheating while optimizing power under heavy load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho should buy it: concrete flatwork contractors, general contractors pouring their own slabs, landscapers and hardscape crews setting pads, and serious DIYers
