XGT® is the cordless answer to growing power demands

Makita begins selling 40V Max XGT® products on the 1^st of September 2020. The series answers the ongoing change in the industry, in which battery technology replaces other power sources in increasingly larger machines and devices. The goal of the series is not only to provide a genuine solution to the growing power demands but also continue fulfilling Makita’s vision of a cordless future.

”Makita strives to serve its customers in the best possible way and with the best possible selection. Our CXT® series is great for those looking for a light and compact machine while LXT® is the choice when looking for a multi-purpose and compatible machine. With the XGT® series we bring a new choice for those looking for raw power needed in the hardest jobs”, Sales Director John Doe explains.

More power, durability and smart technology

First products published are: recipro saw, impact driver, impact wrench, circular saw, combination hammer, angle grinder and two drill drivers, of which the other also has a hammer function. Compared to their predecessors, the machines offer more power, durability and faster charging.

They also feature smart technology, with which the machine and the battery communicate between each other digitally to achieve optimal performance. It also helps the machines to adapt to future technological advancements.

”XGT® brings new features to cordless machines. For example, the impact driver’s unbelievable maximum torque of 220 Nm and the electronic clutch of the drills. The drills also feature a torque limiter which turns the motor off if the tool is suddenly forced to lock preventing wrist sprain and possible injury”, Product Manager John Doe comments.

Revolutionizing innovation while investing in industry leading series

The new XGT® series will function and grow alongside the industry leading 18V LXT® series. The XGT® charger also works with LXT® batteries, which work with over 200 products. In the future there will be more compatible devices, because Makita’s global focus will continue to be developing machines which make working easier for its customers.
