Makita New Tools
New Makita tools land for the jobs that keep changing on site, from faster first-fix to cleaner cut-outs and quicker snagging without dragging extra kit.
When you're stepping up your kit, it's usually because the old tool's too slow, too heavy, or it just can't keep up with the way sites are run now. These latest Makita tools cover the new releases, platform updates, and the new Makita 18V tools that slot straight into the batteries you're already using. If you're after a new Makita drill, a specialist cutter, or you're watching for new Makita tools coming soon, get your shortlist sorted here and buy once, buy right.
What Jobs Are New Makita Tools Best At?
- Upgrading your daily-driver kit when your current drill, impact, or saw is getting tired, so you're not losing time on fixings, pilot holes, and repeat cuts all day.
- First-fix and second-fix work where newer Makita bodies, controls, and accessories make it easier to work one-handed, in corners, and up ladders without fighting the tool.
- Refurbs and occupied jobs where the latest Makita tools focus on cleaner working and better control, so you can cut, drill, and trim without making a mess you'll be cleaning up for an hour.
- Site maintenance and snagging where having the Makita new tools in the van means you can deal with odd materials and awkward access without bodging it or going back for different kit.
- Expanding an existing battery platform with new Makita 18V tools, so you add capability without starting again on chargers and batteries.
Choosing the Right New Makita Tools
Sort it like a pro: buy the new Makita tool that fixes the bottleneck on your job, not the one that looks good on the bench.
1. Platform First: 18V LXT, 40V XGT, or Both
If you're already deep into LXT, new Makita 18V tools are the sensible spend because your batteries and chargers carry straight over. If you're pushing bigger cutters, heavier drilling, or all-day high load, look at the XGT options, but only if you're ready to commit to another battery platform.
2. Bare Unit vs Kit
If you've already got enough good batteries, go bare and put the money into the tool. If you're short on packs or you're replacing tired batteries, a kit makes sense, because a new Makita drill is only as good as the batteries you're feeding it.
3. Match the Tool to the Material and the Shift Length
If it's occasional snagging and light fixings, you don't need the biggest, heaviest model. If it's five days a week on site, choose the tougher spec you can run hard without it cooking itself, because downtime costs more than the upgrade.
New Makita Tools FAQs
Will Makita stop making 18V tools?
No, the 18V LXT platform is still a core part of Makita's range and it's where most site users are invested. You'll keep seeing new Makita 18V tools alongside other platforms, so you're not buying into a dead system.
What new Makita tools are worth the investment?
Buy the ones that remove a daily headache: the tool you use every shift, the one that's always underpowered, or the job that's costing you time in set-up and clean-up. For most lads that means a new Makita drill or impact upgrade first, then specialist cutters or site gear once the basics are sorted.
Are these the latest Makita tools, or older models?
This page is aimed at Makita new tools and the latest Makita tools as they land, but always check the listing details for the exact model number and spec. Makita often runs similar-looking tools with different features, so that model code matters.
Do new Makita 18V tools work with my existing LXT batteries?
In most cases, yes, that's the whole point of sticking with LXT, but you should still check the product page for compatibility notes. If you're on very old packs, it's often worth refreshing batteries as well so the new tool performs properly under load.
Is it worth waiting for new Makita tools coming soon?
If your current kit is losing you time or letting you down, don't limp through a job waiting for a release date. If you're upgrading for a specific upcoming contract, then waiting can make sense, but only if the "coming soon" tool genuinely solves that job better than what's available now.
Who Are New Makita Tools For on Site?
- Sparks and plumbers adding newer Makita 18V tools to speed up fixings, drilling, and bracket work without carrying extra battery systems.
- Chippies and fitters who live on drills, impacts, and saws and want the Makita latest tools for cleaner finishes and less faff on repetitive cuts and installs.
- Facilities and maintenance teams who need Makita new tools that can handle mixed jobs in one day, from quick repairs to heavier fixings, without swapping platforms.
- Site leads and working foremen keeping an eye on new Makita tools coming soon so the team's kit stays current and downtime stays low.
Makita Accessories That Keep New Tools Earning
The right add-ons stop new kit getting slowed down by flat batteries, blunt consumables, or missing cases when you're trying to get packed up.
1. Genuine Makita Batteries and Chargers
If you're buying into new Makita 18V tools, make sure you've got enough capacity to finish the day, not just start it, because nothing wastes time like swapping half-charged packs between lads.
2. Drill Bits, Driver Bits, and Holesaws
A new Makita drill will still feel weak if you're running rounded PZ2s and blunt bits, so stock the consumables that match what you actually hit on site, from masonry to metal and timber.
3. Makpac and Tool Storage
Proper cases and stackable storage stop your latest Makita tools getting battered in the van and keep accessories together, so you're not hunting for the one charger or the right blade at the bottom of a box.
