Makita 12V Max CXT System to Welcomeย Brushless Models

Theย Makita 12V Max CXTย System came out with a slide style battery pack and ushered in a season of focus on 12 volt tools for Makita. The next generation is here, along with new brushless models. For this line, the focus is all about compact, ergonomic design and available extended capacity batteries.

โ€œThese next generation 12-volt max cordless tools give users a more compact solution with more comfort and more capacity. The slide style battery means superior ergonomics and comfort, and allows go-to tools like the impact driver and drills to stand up on their own for added convenience. And for the first time weโ€™re offering brushless motor 12 volt tools, as well as two and four amp-hour batteries for increased run-time.โ€
โ€“ Adam Livingston, Senior Product Manager, Cordless Products of Makita

The new cordlessย tools are available in kits with 2.0 amp hour batteries and charger or as a bare tool. A 4.0 amp hour battery is available for the Makita 12V Max CXT tools if you need extended run time. Allย of Makitaโ€™s lithium-ion power tools, batteries and chargers come with a limited 3-year warranty.
