BL (Brushless) Motor
The Makita BL Motor is engineered to deliver superior performance and long-lasting durability in cordless power tools. Unlike traditional brushed motors, it eliminates carbon brushes, reducing friction and heat. As a result, the motor runs cooler, experiences less wear, and extends the overall tool life, making it ideal for professionals who demand reliability and DIY users who value long-term performance.
With its advanced brushless design, the motor is electronically controlled to maximize battery efficiency, providing up to 50% longer run time per charge. Its smart energy management system ensures consistent speed, smoother operation, and efficient power delivery for any task.
The BL Motor also delivers more torque and power in a lighter build, making Makita cordless tools stronger while consuming less energy. Built with this innovative technology, Makita tools are ready to take on tough jobs with maximum efficiency, giving users greater productivity, confidence, and value in every project.
Makita Auto-Start Wireless System
The Makita Auto-Start Wireless System uses Bluetooth technology to create a seamless connection between your AWS-equipped cordless tool and a compatible dust extractor. Once paired, the extractor automatically powers on and off with the tool, running only when needed. For added flexibility, up to 10 AWS tools can be linked to a single dust extractor or vacuum.
With AWS, you can eliminate cords and the hassles that come with them; no more constant unplugging, grounding issues, or trip hazards. This wireless system also enhances productivity by extending the dust extractor’s battery life, since it operates only when the tool is in use. Switching between multiple tools becomes faster and more convenient, saving valuable time on the job.
By running only when necessary, AWS not only conserves energy but also helps reduce excessive noise on the worksite, creating a safer, quieter, and more comfortable environment while maintaining peak performance.
Extreme Protection Technology
The Makita Extreme Protection Technology is specially engineered to withstand tough jobsite conditions. It features a protective internal seal that channels water and dust away from critical components, ensuring longer tool life and consistent, reliable performance.
With its enhanced dust- and drip-resistant design, XPT gives Makita cordless tools superior durability for outdoor use and harsh environments. This added layer of protection makes them more resilient compared to standard models, perfect for professionals and DIY users who demand performance in any condition.
Automatic Torque Drive Technology
The Makita Automatic Torque Drive Technology is designed to deliver peak efficiency by automatically adjusting speed and torque during operation. When the tool detects heavier loads, ADT provides additional power to maintain performance and get the job done with ease.
This smart technology allows Makita cordless tools to deliver the power of corded tools, without the limitations of a cord. At the same time, ADT maximizes battery efficiency by applying power only when needed, giving users more work per charge and greater productivity on every project.
Active Feedback-sensing Technology
The Makita Active Feedback-sensing Technology is an advanced safety feature engineered to protect both the user and the tool during operation. Kickback is one of the most common risks with high-powered tools, and AFT helps minimize its impact by instantly shutting down the motor if sudden, forced stoppage is detected.
Using a built-in accelerometer, AFT continuously monitors the tool’s rotation speed. If it detects that the tool has suddenly slowed or stopped due to binding or kickback, the system immediately powers off the motor to reduce the risk of injury. In addition, a torque-limiting clutch helps protect the gears by disengaging them when overload occurs, ensuring longer tool life and safer performance.
While AFT is not designed to eliminate kickback entirely, it significantly reduces its effects and provides an extra layer of protection. With this smart system, Makita cordless tools give professionals greater confidence, control, and safety when tackling demanding applications.
Anti-Vibration Technology
The Makita Anti-Vibration Technology is a proprietary innovation engineered to significantly reduce vibration in high-impact power tools such as reciprocating saws, multi-tools, demolition hammers, rotary hammers, and breakers. By minimizing vibration, AVT enhances comfort, precision, and safety, allowing professionals to work longer with less fatigue and greater productivity.
At the core of AVT is an advanced counterweight mechanism that counteracts the piston’s motion, effectively dampening vibration before it reaches the user. This smart system balances internal forces within the tool, while a specially designed damper spring absorbs the reaction force at the moment of impact. The result is reduced strain on the user’s hands and arms when drilling, chiseling, or breaking through tough materials.
With AVT, Makita sets a higher standard for ergonomics and user comfort, delivering powerful performance that is easier, safer, and more efficient to control on any jobsite.
Deep and Exact Cutting Technology (DXT)
The Makita Deep and Exact Cutting Technology is designed to deliver greater cutting capacity and lasting precision in Makita miter saws. Engineered for professional accuracy straight out of the box, DXT enhances cutting performance for smoother, cleaner, and more reliable results every time.
Its innovative direct drive gearbox and guard system maximize the blade’s cutting area, allowing for deeper vertical cuts, perfect for crown molding, skirting boards, and other detailed applications. With no belts to slip or replace, power is transferred directly from the motor to the blade for more efficient, consistent performance.
To ensure long-term accuracy, DXT uses a patented rail sliding system with linear ball bearings, minimizing deflection for smooth, precise cuts on every job. With this advanced design, Makita miter saws deliver the ideal balance of power, precision, and innovation trusted by professionals worldwide.
X-Lock
The Makita X-Lock is an innovative locking mechanism designed to make accessory changes up to five times faster than traditional threaded locknut mounts. With its tool-less design, users can quickly swap out cutting or grinding discs and get back to work with minimal downtime, ideal for professionals who value both speed and efficiency.
Built for convenience and safety, X-Lock allows discs to be installed securely with a simple click, eliminating the need for wrenches or additional tools. This intuitive mechanism ensures a firm, reliable connection every time, reducing the risk of improper mounting and improving overall work safety on site.
The X-Lock range also includes rescue cutting discs, specially engineered to cut through multiple materials such as metal, concrete, and glass. By using the right disc for each task, users can achieve faster, cleaner results while extending the life of their tools and maintaining top performance.
