Makita 18V LXT Power Scrapers
Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers take the graft out of lifting tiles, vinyl, adhesive and sealant when you cannot waste hours on a bolster and sore wrists.
When you are stripping floors or cleaning up stubborn residue, a cordless scraper saves your elbows and keeps the job moving. Makita's 18V LXT platform means you can run the same batteries as the rest of your kit and get consistent, controlled removal without dragging leads through a refurb. Pick the right blade for the material and you will lift cleaner, faster, and with less damage to the substrate.
What Jobs Are Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers Best At?
- Lifting old floor tiles, vinyl and lino in kitchens and bathrooms where hand scraping would drag the job into a second day.
- Stripping carpet adhesive, bitumen and glue lines off concrete and screed so the next finish goes down flat and bonds properly.
- Removing silicone, sealant and mastic around frames, sanitaryware and trims without chewing up the surrounding surface.
- Cleaning up paint runs, plaster dags and stubborn build-up on site timbers, boards and edges during refurbs and snagging.
Choosing the Right Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers
Sort the right one by matching it to what you are lifting all day, not what you hope it will do once a month.
1. Blade type and width
If you are on floor coverings and adhesive, go wider so you clear more per pass. If you are working around edges, trims and tight corners, a narrower blade gives you control and stops you gouging the substrate.
2. Battery size for runtime
If it is quick sealant and snag work, your standard LXT batteries will do. If you are stripping full rooms, do not turn up with one small battery and a hope, bring higher Ah packs and at least one spare so you are not stood waiting on charge.
3. Dust and mess control
If you are scraping old adhesive and brittle finishes, plan for the clean-up. Pair the job with decent extraction and bags so you are not sweeping for an hour or leaving a mess for the next trade.
Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers FAQs
What are the features of Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers?
They are cordless scrapers on the Makita 18V LXT battery platform, built to lift stuck-on materials using a powered scraping action rather than hand force. In real terms that means faster strip-out, more consistent removal, and far less wrist and elbow punishment on long days.
Are Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers available with batteries and charger?
Yes, you will typically see them sold as body only or as kits with batteries and a charger. If you already run Makita LXT, body only is usually the sensible buy, but for strip-out work you will want at least two batteries so you are not waiting on charge.
Is there a warranty on Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers?
Yes, Makita tools come with a manufacturer warranty, and many users register for the extended cover where applicable. Keep your proof of purchase and register within Makita's time window if you want the extra warranty period.
Are Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers suitable for professional tradesmen?
Yes, they are made for proper site use, especially refurbs and strip-out where you are lifting coverings and residue all day. They are tough, but do not treat them like a breaker, let the blade and the action do the work and you will get cleaner results and longer tool life.
Do you offer next day delivery on Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers?
Yes, we offer next day delivery on in-stock Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers from our own warehouse. Order in time and you can have it on site for tomorrow's shift.
Who Uses Makita 18V Lxt Power Scrapers?
- Flooring fitters and refurb teams stripping coverings and adhesive quickly so they can prep and lay in the same visit.
- Plumbers and bathroom installers for fast, controlled sealant removal around trays, baths and upstands before resealing.
- Decorators and maintenance lads dealing with stubborn residue and build-up during voids, turnarounds and end-of-tenancy work.
- General builders who already run Makita 18V LXT and want a cordless scraper that uses the same batteries on site.
How Power Scrapers Work for You
A power scraper does the repeated chipping motion for you, so you guide the blade angle and pressure instead of battering your wrists all day.
1. Let the tool do the striking
You keep the blade low and let the rapid action break the bond under tiles, vinyl or adhesive. Pushing too hard just slows it down and can dig into the floor.
2. Blade angle is the difference between clean lift and damage
A shallow angle helps the blade slide under material and lift it. Tip it up too steep and you will start gouging screed, timber or plasterboard, especially on edges.
3. Cordless makes it a refurb tool, not a workshop tool
On Makita 18V LXT you can work room to room without leads, which is exactly what you want when you are stripping floors in occupied buildings or tight access flats.
Power Scraper Accessories That Save Time on Strip-Out
The right consumables and support kit stop you fighting the material and make the finish cleaner for whoever is going down next.
1. Replacement scraper blades
Keep a couple of fresh blades in the box, because blunt edges turn a quick lift into a juddering mess and you end up forcing it and marking the floor.
2. Makita 18V LXT batteries
If you are doing full-room strip-out, a spare higher Ah battery is the difference between continuous work and standing around waiting for a charger to catch up.
3. Compatible charger
A proper LXT charger keeps turnaround tight between rooms, especially when you are running multiple 18V tools on the same job and cannot afford downtime.
