Makita Tools

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.
We've engineered LXT Sub-Compact tools to be smaller and lighter than our premium tools for jobs that require quick and efficient tools. Our 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.
