Product Information

Both 2.0Ah and 4.0Ah batteries are available for the CXT range. These slide batteries have protection overload circuitry, will operate down to -20°C and have a 4-stage LED fuel gauge indicator. The DC10SA charger has a fan cooling system that puts charging time to just 30 minutes for the 2.0Ah battery. Likewise, there is an LED light at the tip of this multi-tool, so you’ll find it easy to navigate in the dark and make fewer mistakes. It also features a hex wrench that can be used to remove and install each attachment on the tool. If you are a casual user or a weekend warrior, this multi-tool will be just fine. However, don’t expect it to have the same power as a tool that’s meant for heavy-duty purposes or big projects due to its limited battery life. The closing lever could be better.

T he cordless range is incredibly extensive and available in either 12V CXT, 18V LXT or 40V XGT battery power options. Indeed, the Makita 18V LXT Range of tools is probably the largest range of 18V power tools in the world with nearly 300 models. The 40V X GT MAX signifies a level of power that is equal to, or even exceeds, mains power. Makita are a leader in power tool technology for professional and DIY work.

Cordless tools not only now run at a similar performance level to corded tools, but they’re also safer.

All of the above will impact your buying decision, at the end of the day weigh up your options and make a decision based on the jobs / projects you’re working on. So whether you need a drill, impact driver, nail gun, circular saw, routers, se alant gun, dust extractor, or you need a lawn mower, hedge trimmer, drywall sander, vibrating poker, chain mortiser, compressor, generator, or simply a battery and drill bits, Makita’s vast range will cover all your needs.If you feel that the Makita MT01R1 is not the multi-tool for you, here are some other alternatives I’d like to suggest: If you are still unsure about your decision, go through the below list of the pros and cons of the tool.
