The LXT® System is the world's largest compatible cordless tool system powered by 18V slide-style batteries. Makita's purpose-built motors, battery technology, and enhanced communications work together to deliver unmatched power, speed, and run time.

Makita was the first to introduce 18V lithium-ion cordless tools. Today, the LXT System is the world's largest compatible 18V slide-style battery system with over 325 solutions.

October 3, 2005 Since its introduction on October 3, 2005, Makita's LXT Series featuring 18V Lithium-Ion Battery Technology has been providing the professional end-user with more work solutions.

The main difference between Makita CXT and LXT is power and size. The CXT range emphasises compact products. The batteries are much smaller, although the connection points are similar. These offer 12V of power and come in a range of sizes, from 1.5Ah to 6Ah.

The 40VMax XGT BL4080F 8.0Ah battery has been designed to be both robust and highly intelligent. Equipped with 20 cells, it has a higher power output that enables Makita's XGT tools to be pushed even harder and perform heavy duty, continuous operation over extended periods.

More than Just a Motor Right now, the Makita LXT line uses at least 5 different BL motors to power their brushless tools. That's not the whole story, though. Those brushless motors need a power source - Makita 18V LXT battery packs.

The XT1501 is Makita's biggest combo kit with 15 Lithium-Ion cordless tools for drilling, driving, fastening, cutting, grinding, and more.

Market cap: $6.64 Billion As of October 2023 Makita has a market cap of $6.64 Billion. This makes Makita the world's 1988th most valuable company by market cap according to our data.

In the field of power tools, Makita offers classic tools (drilling and stemming hammers, drills, planers, saws, cutting and angle grinders), gardening equipment (electric lawnmowers, high-pressure cleaners, blowers), and measuring tools (rangefinders, rotating lasers).

Makita Corporation was founded in 1915 as an electric motor sales and repair company. Today, as a global brand in over 40 countries, Makita is an innovation leader, manufacturing best-in-class products at 10 plants operating in 8 countries.
