Makita

About Makita
Makita was founded in Nagoya City in Japan in 1915 under the name of "Makita Denski Seisakusho", where the business was the sale & repair of lighting fixtures, motors & transformers. After years of development & testing, Makita specialises in electric motors & started exporting them to the world in 1935. In 1938, the company was transformed into a limited company & Makita introduced the new name "Makita Electric Works, Ltd.".

In 1958, Makita's first power tool - a hand-operated electric planer was announced. This time has proved to be a significant turning point, determining the current trend of the company, which Makita is still pursuing this day. Later that same year, Makita strengthened its positioning as a special manufacturer of power tools by introducing a hand-held wall chaser. After years of development, Makita's range of power tools expanded as the company obtained an electric hand-operated circular saw and drill machine in 1962.

Enhanced Communications - Efficient Power Management
Star Protection Computer Controls is communication technology between the tool and battery that exchanges data in real-time to protect against overload, over-discharge and overheating.

Ultimate Compatabilty - 325+ Products. One Ssystem
The LXT Battery delivers constant power and longer run time, even in extreme temperatures. The charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip to optimize battery life, controlling current, voltage, and temperature.

Increased Efficiency
No more time wasted searching for tools & a more streamlined workflow reduces the total time needed to get the job done.

Improved Safety
With a well organised tool kit it is easy to spot if any tool is missing. It ensures that no tool is left behind that can cause damage to machinery or injuries to personnel.

Reduced Costs
With Teng's tool control system you don’t have to waste money on tools you don’t need & will lose less tools resulting in lower replacement costs.

Improved Quality
Always having the right tool at hand prevents material damage (e.g. deformed screws & bolts).

Sustainability
One of the most important reasons to get organised is to minimize the amount of lost tools that you have to replace. That is sustainability in a nutshell.
