About Makita's 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Tool Series

As one of the pioneers driving the cordless tool revolution, Makita changed the game in 2005 with its industry's first 18V Lithium-Ion line-up. Today, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless Series has grown from seven to over 40 tools, providing a wide range of cordless solutions for professional tradesmen. Makita later added the industry's 18V Compact Lithium-Ion battery for cordless power in a more compact size.

Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion batteries and ENERGY STAR qualified Rapid Optimum Charger
provide several benefits over old battery technology.
