Makita’s 40V XGT range is engineered for industrial-level performance. This guide explores the key differences between Makita’s CXT, LXT, and XGT ranges, and highlights when 40V tools are ideal for your projects.

Makita CXT vs LXT vs XGT: What’s the Difference?

• 12V CXT Range: Compact tools designed for light-duty tasks like cabinetmaking and small repairs.
• 18V LXT Range: A versatile line suitable for most construction and trade work, balancing power and portability.
• 40V XGT Range: The most powerful of Makita’s ranges, built for demanding applications like large-scale construction and heavy-duty work. Makita XGT 40V tools are designed for maximum power and durability, ideal for tackling the toughest tasks.

What Jobs Are 40V XGT Tools Ideal For?

Makita’s 40V XGT range is built for demanding jobs where raw power and extended battery life are crucial. These tools are perfect for cutting through dense materials, heavy drilling, demolition, and large-scale building projects. Whether you’re breaking through concrete or cutting tough metals, 40V XGT tools are made for professional contractors working in harsh conditions.

Why Use Both 40V and 18V Tools?

Even if you own an 18V toolset, running both 40V and 18V systems can optimize your workflow. 18V LXT tools are excellent for general use, but 40V XGT tools provide more power and endurance for intense tasks. Using both platforms ensures you’re equipped for anything, from smaller, detailed work to heavy-duty jobs that require extended power.
