Welcome to the Makita Cordless Power Tools Review. In this post, I’m going to be talking about my Makita LXT 18-volt range. One of my visitor Alex request to write a review about these tools. This week I have some time. It seemed like a good opportunity to write a review about Makita Cordless LXT.

Well, I’m not a Makita fanboy. Despite how it may look in this article but there are a good few reasons. why I chose Makita? I often see tradesmen and builders using Makita tools. I’ve always thought that if somebody who uses tools all day and every day. why are they choosing Makita? The answer was simple may be Makita good and reliable.

Why I chose Makita when some other brands offer the same functionality.

Makita is one of the few brands that make a cordless random orbit sander and that is a tool that I use a lot. I’m not saying Makita sander is one that is the best.

Dewalt has a great range of cordless power tools but they don’t make a random orbit sander. Also, the tools tend to be a little bit more expensive than the Makita. Hitachi and Milwaukee also offer a good range of products. Ryobi has a good selection of tools including a random orbit sander and even a belt sander. But I haven’t had good experiences using Ryobi tools. A couple of years ago I only ever used budget tools. The cheapest ones I could find and most of them were fine. They did the jobs that they were designed to do. But after a while I found myself wanting something a bit more reliable and better quality. I wouldn’t class Makita cordless power tools as premium tools they’re not at the same price.

Makita tools cost between 45 and 120 USD each. that’s excluding batteries apart from this latest router. Actually that I bought which was a little bit more and those prices are pretty fair. finally, it was important for me to use one brand’s range of cordless tools. So that I could share the batteries between them. why do I prefer cordless power tools to call it tools. the main reason is my workshop is laid out most of the power sockets. most of my work gets done in the center of the shop. Where my workbench is. So if I plug in a corded tool and I’m using that over here. I’ve then got this cable in the way of both.

Why I chose Cordless Power Tools?

I like to be able to use my tools when I don’t have access to a power socket. For example, my circular saw. I’ll throw this in the van and this has been useful on many occasions when I was doing my shed extension build. I bought some timber cladding from my local sawmill. It was only available in five-meter lengths so using my circular saw I can cut it down in the carpark and fit it in my car. I also used it when I salvaged a bunch of oak and mahogany from a local church refurbishment. It’s also nice to have the option of being able to work outside in the garden. If it’s a nice sunny day or if I’ve run out of space in the workshop. I find them quicker and more convenient to use.

After taking a tool off the shelf unraveling the cord. Plugging it in. Using it for a few seconds and then unplugging it and having to wind up the cable again. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but after a while, it gets a bit irritating. I much prefer being able to grab a tool grab battery and then I’m ready to work next. I’ll talk about the makita cordless power tools that I own. What I like and dislike about them. Battery life performance. Build quality comfort and I’ll include links to all the tools that I use in the article. There’ll be affiliate links too. So if you click on them and buy something then it helps to support my website.
