Maximum performance. No cords needed.

Makita was the first to introduce 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tools. Makita’s LXT® System is the world’s largest and has over 200 solutions. From the reduced size and weight of Sub-Compact to Premium Tools specifically designed for the most demanding applications, professional users can find the right solution for any job. Makita’s new Brushless X2 tools are powered by two 18V LXT® batteries for maximum power, speed, and run time. The LXT® Advantage technology is at work across the system, so you’ll get longer motor life, efficient power management, and the industry’s fastest-charging times – all in One System using the same batteries and chargers.

A new class in cordless

Makita created a new class in cordless with 18V LXT® Sub-Compact Brushless tools. Makita Sub-Compact tools are the most compact and lightest weight in the 18V category, so users get 12V handling with 18V compatibility. Sub-compact tools use the same 18V batteries and chargers that work with over 200 solutions in the LXT system. They've engineered LXT Sub-Compact tools to be smaller and lighter than other premium tools for jobs that require quick and efficient tools. The Sub-Compact line includes the most compact and lightweight reciprocal saw, rotary hammer, drill, and impact driver in the 18V lithium-ion cordless tool category.
