The Bottom Line Up Front
A 12‑inch snow shovel attachment for Makita XGT and LXT brushless couple‑shaft power heads that can throw snow up to 30 feet.
It clears a 12" wide, 6" deep path and is rated to handle up to five parking spaces on a single charge with the right power‑head/battery combo.
A compact choice for decks, sidewalks, and tight spaces where a full snow blower is overkill but a regular shovel is too slow.
Overview
The Makita SN400MP 12" Snow Shovel Attachment connects to compatible Makita brushless couple‑shaft power heads (GUX01, XUX01, XUX02; sold separately) to turn them into powered snow throwers. It is designed for light‑to‑moderate snow on flat surfaces, emphasizing maneuverability and quick cleanup over heavy‑duty drift busting.
Specifications
Throws snow up to 30 ft with a 12" clearing width and 6" clearing depth.
Makita notes it can clear up to five parking spots on a single charge when paired with the XUX01 power head and two 18V LXT 5.0 Ah batteries.
Compact, lightweight design with three directional chute angles (straight, 30° left, 30° right) and a steel drive shaft for reduced vibration and longer life.
