Makita 12V CXT Torches
Makita 12V Cxt Torches give you proper light where the job is, not where the ceiling lamp happens to be, using the same CXT batteries as your compact kit.
When you're fault-finding under a sink, clipping cables in a loft, or working in a half-finished room with no power, a decent torch stops mistakes and saves time. Makita's 12V CXT lights are compact, tough, and easy to position in tight spots, so you can keep moving without dragging leads about. Pick the output and style that suits your work and get one in the van.
What Jobs Are Makita 12V Cxt Torches Best At?
- Working in lofts, underfloor voids, and service cupboards where you need a compact light that fits through hatches and still throws a usable beam.
- First fix and second fix electrics when you are marking out, terminating, and testing in rooms that are still on temporary power or no power at all.
- Plumbing and heating repairs under sinks and behind boxing where a small torch you can aim properly stops you rounding fixings and missing leaks.
- Snagging and handover checks where you need to rake light across walls, ceilings, and joinery to spot dents, paint misses, and rough finishing.
- Van and plant checks on dark mornings, using a torch that lives on the Makita CXT battery platform so you are not relying on disposable cells.
Choosing the Right Makita 12V Cxt Torch
Keep it simple: buy the torch that suits where you work, then match the battery size to how long you are actually in the dark.
1. Torch vs Worklight
If you are inspecting, fault finding, or moving room to room, a torch style is quicker in the hand. If you are staying put doing terminations, pipework, or snagging, go for a worklight style you can stand, hang, or angle so both hands stay on the job.
2. Output and beam control
For close-up work in cupboards and under sinks, a controlled beam stops glare and bounce-back. For lofts, basements, and bigger rooms, pick higher output or a wider flood so you are not constantly repositioning the light.
3. Battery size on CXT
If it is a quick inspection tool, smaller CXT batteries keep it light and less top-heavy. If it is your main light for a shift, step up the Ah so you are not swapping packs mid-task, especially when you are up a ladder or in a loft.
Makita 12V Cxt Torches FAQs
What are the features of Makita 12V Cxt Torches?
They are compact CXT battery torches built for site use, with practical things that matter like stable bases or hang points on worklight styles, and beams that are usable in tight spaces rather than just looking bright on paper. The key is choosing torch style for inspection work or worklight style for hands-free tasks.
Are Makita 12V Cxt Torches available with batteries and charger?
Yes, you will typically see options across the range such as body only for anyone already on Makita CXT, and kit versions that include batteries and a charger. If you are starting from scratch, a kit saves you messing about matching packs and chargers later.
Is there a warranty on Makita 12V Cxt Torches?
Yes, Makita tools come with a manufacturer warranty, and you can usually extend it by registering the product with Makita within their required timeframe. Keep your proof of purchase and do the registration early, because nobody remembers after the job is finished.
Are Makita 12V Cxt Torches suitable for professional tradesmen?
Yes, they are made for trade use, especially for maintenance, fit-out, and first fix where compact kit is a big advantage. Just be honest about runtime and brightness needs, because if it is your only light for a full shift you will want a bigger Ah battery or a spare pack.
Do you offer next day delivery on Makita 12V Cxt Torches?
Yes, we hold stock in our own warehouse and offer next day delivery on eligible orders, so you are not waiting a week to get a basic bit of site lighting sorted. Check the product page for live stock and delivery cut-off times.
Who Uses Makita 12V Cxt Torches?
- Sparkies and fire and security installers who need reliable light for cable runs, testing, and fault finding in dead or half-lit areas.
- Plumbers, heating engineers, and maintenance fitters working in tight voids where you need a torch you can angle and set down without it rolling off.
- Joiners, kitchen fitters, and snagging teams using raking light to pick up scribe lines, gaps, and finishing issues before the client does.
- Site supervisors doing early and late walk rounds, keeping a CXT torch in the cab so it is always ready on the same batteries as the compact Makita kit.
How Makita 12V CXT Torches Work for You
Makita 12V CXT torches run on the same slide batteries as the rest of the compact CXT range, so you can share packs across your small drill, driver, and site lighting without mixing chargers.
1. One battery platform, less faff
If you are already on Makita CXT, the torch is a straight add-on that uses the batteries you have, which is ideal for van-based maintenance and call-outs where you cannot be carrying three different chargers.
2. Task lighting vs area lighting
A torch gives you directed light for inspection and fault finding, while a worklight spreads light across a work zone so you can see fixings, levels, and finishes properly without holding the lamp.
3. Runtime is battery capacity, not magic
More lumens and wider flood use more power, so if you need all-day light, plan on larger Ah packs or a spare battery, the same way you would with a drill on repetitive fixings.
Makita 12V CXT Torch Essentials to Keep You Lit
A torch is only as useful as the battery behind it, so sort your power and charging once and you will not get caught out mid-job.
1. Makita 12V CXT Batteries
Carry a spare CXT pack if the torch is your main light for lofts and call-outs, because swapping batteries beats trying to finish a termination on your phone torch.
2. Makita 12V CXT Charger
A dedicated CXT charger in the van or workshop keeps your lighting and compact tools ready, so you are not robbing batteries from the drill just to see what you are doing.
