Makita Cordless Tool Systems: 18V LXT and 40V XGT

Makita has developed one of the most widely adopted cordless tool systems in the professional power tool industry.

Makita 18V LXT Platform

The Makita 18V LXT platform is one of the largest cordless tool ecosystems available. Hundreds of tools operate on the same battery system, allowing contractors to expand their lineup without changing battery platforms.

Makita 18V LXT tools are commonly used for drilling, fastening, cutting, grinding, and finishing tasks across construction, renovation, and mechanical trades.

Makita 40V XGT Platform

The Makita 40V XGT system is designed for higher-demand applications where additional output power is required. Makita XGT tools are engineered for heavy-duty cutting, grinding, drilling, and demolition tasks while maintaining cordless convenience.

Together, the LXT and XGT systems give contractors a complete cordless platform that can power everything from compact drills to high-performance rotary hammers and saws.

Makita Battery Tools and Cordless Ecosystem

Makita battery tools provide cordless power for drilling, fastening, grinding, cutting, and finishing tasks across construction and industrial jobsites. Lithium-ion batteries and rapid chargers help crews maintain productivity while reducing downtime between tasks.

The Makita cordless ecosystem allows multiple tools to run on the same battery platform, simplifying jobsite charging, tool management, and equipment transport.

Makita Brushless Power Tools

Many Makita tools feature advanced brushless motor technology designed to increase efficiency, extend runtime, and improve durability. Brushless motors run cooler and deliver consistent performance under load, making them well suited for professional contractors who rely on tools throughout the workday.

Makita brushless power tools are widely used for demanding applications such as drilling concrete, cutting framing materials, grinding metal, and driving fasteners on busy jobsites.
