Makita's product directions include professional corded and cordless power tools, outdoor power equipment, pneumatic tools, cleaning and dust-extraction equipment, and a broad range of working accessories.
Makita's history began in 1915 in Nagoya, Japan, where the company initially sold and repaired lighting equipment, electric motors and transformers. In 1958, Makita began manufacturing and selling portable electric planers in Japan, and in 1959 it shifted its focus to electric power-tool manufacturing.
Today, Makita Corporation's official business areas include electric power tools, gardening equipment, pneumatic tools and household equipment. Cordless technology is a major part of its modern product strategy, covering construction, woodworking, metalworking, concrete applications, cleaning and outdoor maintenance.
One of Makita's distinguishing characteristics is the development of several separate cordless platforms designed around different requirements for power, size and application.
LXT is Makita's 18V lithium-ion platform covering construction, woodworking, metalworking, cleaning and outdoor equipment. Selected 36V LXT products operate with two 18V batteries in an 18V X2 configuration. Compatible LXT products use batteries and chargers within the corresponding LXT system.
XGT is designed for cordless tools and equipment with higher power requirements. The system includes 40V max and 80V max solutions for drilling, demolition, cutting, sawing, grinding, dust extraction and outdoor applications.
CXT 12V max focuses on more compact tools where precise handling, reduced size and balanced construction are particularly important.
LXT, XGT and CXT are separate cordless systems. When selecting a battery or charger, check the exact platform compatibility of the product rather than relying only on voltage. The broader principle is explained in the ToolsArmenia guide What Is a Unified Battery Platform?
Makita corded and cordless tools cover drilling, fastening, demolition, sawing, cutting, grinding and other professional applications. The range includes drills, rotary hammers, demolition hammers, screwdrivers, impact wrenches, angle grinders, circular saws and other equipment.
When selecting a specific tool, compare the specifications that directly affect the application. For rotary and demolition hammers, it is important to understand impact energy, while drills, saws and grinders should be assessed with an understanding of how to choose tool power.
Gardening and outdoor power equipment are official Makita product areas. The range includes lawn mowers, string trimmers, brush cutters, chainsaws, blowers and other equipment. Cordless outdoor solutions are developed extensively within the LXT and XGT systems.
Makita also develops vacuum cleaners and dust-extraction systems. Selected tools and dust extractors support AWS® — Auto-Start Wireless System. Using Bluetooth communication, a compatible dust extractor can start automatically when the connected tool starts and stop when the tool is switched off.
This system is particularly relevant for sawing, grinding and other dust-producing applications where tool operation and dust extraction need to work together.
A distinguishing feature of Makita is not only the breadth of individual tool categories but the combination of several developed product ecosystems. LXT provides a broad 18V platform, XGT addresses higher-demand cordless applications, and CXT focuses on compact 12V max tools. These systems are complemented by corded tools, outdoor equipment, cleaning solutions and dust-management technology.
For buyers, this structure makes it possible to consider a tool as part of a longer-term system, taking into account batteries, chargers, future compatible products and the level of power required for the job.
At ToolsArmenia, Makita equipment can be selected by application and power source across cordless tools, corded power tools, garden equipment, vacuum and cleaning equipment and tool consumables. For a cordless product, confirm whether the model belongs to LXT, XGT or CXT and which battery and charger are required before making the final selection.
