Makita CXT Cordless Tools

Makita’s CXT 12v slide-on battery platform was introduced a few years back as an alternative to their older 10.8v stick battery range, and now constitutes the primary Makita compact cordless platform. The advantages of these newer batteries include higher capacities, integrated fuel gauges (on the higher amperage models), overload protection and the ability to use them in temperatures down to -20°C.

The CXT range has subsequently grown and the latest generation of brushless tools have been shrunk down as much as possible, making them perfect for fatigue-free use over longer periods and enabling improved access to tight workspaces. The range includes most common power tools as well as specialist machines like tile saws and multi cutters.

Like Makita's 18v LXT range, these tools are all covered by a three year commercial warranty.
