Makita Power Tools at Tooled-Up.com

Makita Power Tools cover the everyday jobs of site work, joinery, groundwork and maintenance. Tooled-Up.com stocks Makita drills, grinders, impact wrenches, oscillating multi tools, planers and thicknessers, nail and staple guns, disc cutters, demolition tools and more, so one brand can cover a whole kit list.

The selection goes beyond the core tools. It includes biscuit and dowel jointers, hole borers, nibblers and shears, hot air heat guns, mixers, air blowers and electric screwdrivers. Generators, job site radios, and coolers and drinks makers are there for the site cabin and van.

Many of these tools are built around the 18v platform. Batteries and chargers can be shared across tools, and the Makita 18v Tools section is the place to start if you are building a cordless kit.

Key Features of Makita Power Tools

• 18v cordless platform: one battery fits many tools, which means less to carry and no trailing leads on scaffold, in lofts or on sites without power.
• Brushless motor options: brushless motors run efficiently, which helps battery life and tool durability on long working days.
• Corded 240v options: mains-powered tools suit continuous heavy use in workshops and on sites with a 13A supply.
• Trade-focused build: tough housings and practical ergonomics help tools cope with knocks, dust and regular daily use.
• Task-specific designs: dedicated tools such as jointers, nibblers and hole borers give cleaner, faster results than improvised alternatives.
