Makita
Makita has always had the vision that society and global communities should be able to develop for themselves, and future generations. By providing the tools, Makita is ensuring that anything is possible.
We can be certain of this by the initiatives that guide our business every step of the way. From our regard for the environment, evolving safety measures and innovations in design and manufacturing, we're sure that not only are we contributing to a better today, but investing in a better future.
Innovation
Key to Makita's vision is the constant strive for innovation in our technology and our products. From our safety solutions like AVT and dust extraction, through to our Lithium-Ion battery and chargers technology, Makita is at the forefront for new ideas.
This is all down to our dedicated research and development centre in Japan, where engineers work hard to constantly improve our products in all aspects, from power consumption through to ergonomic design and function.
Manufacturing
Makita manufactures its tools in plants across the globe, from its headquarters in Japan to here, in the UK. Our Telford manufacturing plant is the only full-production facility for power tools in the UK and has been successfully running construction on many of our top line cordless power tools since 1991.
Makita's acquisition of Dolmar in 1991 has also meant that we have one of the strongest histories in the Outdoor Power Equipment market and the plant in Germany constantly delivers tools worldwide to the highest quality.
At the heart of our manufacturing process is the belief that for a good tool you need a good motor, and Makita makes every effort to make sure our motors are of the best quality. We source the absolute best raw materials and components in order to build the most powerful and efficient motors we can imagine.
Premium grade steel is used to produce armature shafts and gears, and only steel of the highest grade is used, whilst high grade magnetic copper wire goes into each and every one of our tools to ensure superior current flow whilst withstanding extreme temperatures.
Our quality control tests each, and every, machine that leaves our manufacturing plants. Nothing is left untested; on the motor alone we perform 19 extensive tests!
Our high standards go a long way, which is probably why when you buy Makita, it's likely to be a lasting relationship.

Review for Makita by The Fforest
7th August 2023
Purchased a MLS100N mitre saw. First use doing a normal 90 degree angle and it caught a fence guard. Had followed the instructions, and wasn't trying to do any kind of compound cut and had checked everything. Shards of metal flew everywhere. Spoke to the builders merchants where I bought it and they said it should never have happened. But Makita they are telling me it was user error and charging me almost the cost of the saw to put it right. All of our tools have been Makita and I've always been a huge advocate of them - but first time with a problem and feel very let down. Very dangerous and very disappointed!

I made a choice to swap my Milwaukee tools to Makita a few months ago. So I bought an SDS (DHR 424) and a radio (MR007GZ). The SDS has no impact protection. I did a few chases in a kitchen with it and my hands were numb for days. The radio has a subwoofer on the underside of the unit which affects the sound quality. I first off decided to remove the cover and deaden it was a sock, but when I decided the SDS wasn't for me, I made the decision to take both Makita products back to the shop, and replaced them with the Milwaukee radio and SDS (M18 CHX). I did ask the question about the radio receiving an update, which Makita ignored. I'll stick with my Milwaukee after all.

Purchase a radio which you can charge the batteries at the same time, worked for a few months and now loses reception when charging batteries. Makita have taken it back on two occasions and the issue is still there. Now they have gone to ground and not returning my emails

After a couple of false starts the DTM52 multi tool is now working well and is much smoother and less harsh on the ears than the older models. Blades are a bit pricey but seem to last if used for the correct purpose.

I recently bought the 36v cordless plunge saw and to be honest it is far better than I have ever thought. It’s compact but boosts loads of power and far better than my old 110v saw it also has the added advantage of not having to carry leads around and cause a tripping hazard

My tools are makita and pretty happy with them ! Did have an issue with a multi drill but upgraded for a brushless one. Which is pretty good and reliable !
The tool I use most is my impact driver and it’s great ! Puts up with so much abuse but keeps on going! I’ve got a Milwaukee one and it’s got nothing on the makita

DO NOT BUY THIS TOOL!!!!!!
Horrendously inadequate!!
Daily jams, Mis-fires, nails not sinking, cheap plastic Brad magazine with a spring that isn’t strong enough to lift a 50mm Brad strip up to be fired, hence the miss-fires and jams etc.
Absolute TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

Got about a dozen 18v makita tools, only ever had a problem. With the compressor. Sent it back under warrenty and new one sent straight out. Not expensive and a great range of tools. The only slight issue I have is the batteries are not as big as other brands, I think 5ah is the biggest you can get

Avid makita fan here I couldnt not ever fault them and swore by them and still do but very disappointed with the recent brushless 18v grinder it packed up after a week of buying and about 30 mins of use which was such a shame because the one I had before was 5 years old same model took loads of abuse used most days it got submerged in water and carried on working after for another year but the new one has let me down but after that I still wont change to Milwaukee

You pick your brand and run with it. I have always been a Makita guy, but in recent times it seems the DeWalt guys have the edge with the flex volt stuff coming on to the market. I am hoping that Makita can catch up so as I don’t want to change from the blue brand if I can help it.

The Makita XDT16 Brushless Impact Driver presents a really potent mix of speed and torque, and it does it in an incredibly compact, and lightweight package. With its automatic smart modes, it has a feature set that should help keep both your bits and fasteners intact.

MAKITA HR003GZ 40V MAX XGT SDS is a fantastic bit of kit, great power and long lasting batteries. If you are hanging Radiator on a solid brick wall or using a core bit you’ll do it with ease. Hardly any vibration through the trigger setup. Undoubtedly the best SDS

Review for Makita by Handyman Brian
5th March 2021
I only own one Makita tool and that’s a corded jigsaw which I’ve owned for around four years now. They are nice and solid, it is ergonomically very comfortable in the hand and it’s never skipped a beat. Very easy to change blades, no tools needed. I’ve use it for a number of large projects and lots of fine cuts. I never have to worry about running out of juice with the battery but the court does get in the way a lot of the time. Now that 90% of my tools are 18 V battery operated I wish I had bought a battery powered jigsaw to. Having said that I have absolutely no complaints apart from the cord obviously. Makita seems like a good brand.

Just bought an upgrade to my old Makita combi drill. The old brushed one had 51Nm of torque but the new brushless one has 115Nm of torque and the difference is unbelievable. Easily knocks up tile adhesive, drives home 250mm timber locks into sleepers like hot knife through butter.

Have owned a lot of their products over the years. Loving the flexibility of the 12 and 18v ranges. Solid built tools and decent storage solutions. Would like the makpac boxes to be a little stronger on the clips but a lot more compact than other brand pack out systems which I find a positive.

My dad got his first cordless drill in the early 1990’s, it was a Makita. This was a tool that totally transformed the building business.
Other drills are good and over the years l have owned hitachi, dewalt and Milwaukee but for me Makita is the best. Makita seem to have better trigger control for accurate drilling and screwing.
Most people find tools that suit the way they work.
Makita are the ones for me. Over the years l have built my kit so now l have drills, impact drivers, saws, routers, planners, grinders and nail guns that all work off Makita 18v batteries

I’ve always found makita tools to lack power and not last very long, they can’t take as much wear and tear as other brands, but they come at a better price point than some other brands, if you aren’t going to be using your tools every day with heavy use then makita is a good option but I’d look for something of a higher quality if your tools are your bread and butter

Makita 18v Combi Drill LXT DHP458RF3
Incredible amount of torque from such a compact drill. I Could not believe it , the first time I used it , I thought the large removable grip was just a gimmick until the drill tried dug in and pulled me around with it. I use this drill on a daily basis and it just keeps going. I use 4ah battery packs which always last much longer than I would expect. Drills brick and concrete up to 13mm (1/2”) with ease.

Circular saw 5704RK 110v. One of Makita’s cheaper lines robust and reliable however build quality compared to higher models is average. Blade depth adjustment is simple but is either very hard to adjust or too loose depending upon how tight adjustment nut is.

I have had several makita chainsaws I had problems with one of them when it was new. The shop I bought it off were not helpful at all so I contacted makita directly . They took the saw back replaced some parts which didn’t fix the problem so they swapped the saw for a new one. Very good customer service.

Recently upgraded my 15yr old 9" makita 110v circular saw to the makita DSS611Z 18V LXT and have so far been very impressed. It is clearly much lighter than what i had been using being 165mm vs 210mm. With the thinner blade i have found a cleaner, faster cut too and although the blade is only 165mm it can still pass through 2" timber with ease (plenty for most jobs)

MAKITA DLX2145TJ 18V 5.0AH. I've owned this set for a while now and boy its a great piece of kit, excellent value for money, more power than you need and the two 18V 5AH batteries last long enough to get the job done.

Never had any bad experiences with this brand and would recommend them to anyone, many because of the range that they have in the lxt range and that the price’s are normally cheaper but it still feels durable

Cant fault makita tools, especially the new cordless chopsaws, just had the new dls110z and is as good as a mains powered version, with its double bevel easily adjusted from the front instead of on the back like older models also the fact you can place it against a wall to use as the slide rails are at the front of the machine, extremely impressive

Makita tools are my first choice for power tools and ancillaries, their product range is excellent. We use their 18v range of products for all applications for personal and business use.
We particularly like their DHP range of combi drill drivers and impact guns.
They are brushless and mixed with the 5amo batteries they last all day
Review for Makita by Collision Forensics Ltd
5th February 2021
These are great tools made to the highest quality. I have always found them to be reliable. The batteries were poor on the first drill I bought from them but I replaced them and I am very happy with the replacements. I do not work them vey hard but they do everything I need of them. I would have no problem recommending them to any other professional workman, enthusiastic DIYer or somebody looking for their first tool. They are a bit more expensive than other brands but you get what you pay for that is quality gear that lasts and won’t need to be thrown away and replaced after a few uses

I always go to Makita for my power tools as I find them the most reliable I have used. I have over the years acquired and used almost all they have in their product range from basic drill drivers to petrol chainsaws.
In my day to day work I need to know I can reach into the back of my van and be safe in the knowledge that I have the right kit to do the job efficiently and safely. Makita gives me that confidence, and I always recommend them to anyone starting out in the business

I started buying the lxt brand about 10 yrs ago. I'm on my second drill but has done huge amount of work. I feel the batteries are a little weak as I seem to go through those and faults. Upgrading to 5amp battery seemed to help with grinders etc.
But all in all work to my expectations.

All my power tools are makita and I think they’re really reliable, only had to replace one combi drill and that was due to some heavy abuse.

The makita 18v 3ah impact driver is amazing probably the best impact driver I've had. The price was good too £160 off scewfit and I got two batteries charger and it came in a macpac box. Always use makita because of the 3 year guarantee. I also have the makita drill its 6 years old now and still working absolutely fine. If you're a professional its definitely worth paying that little bit more for makita products

I've made the change from Bosch to Makita over the last year and I've got to say, Makita tools just seem to do the job better. I used to have 3 different chargers for different tools but now I just have one in my van on an inverter and another (the same) that I take on site. Much easier all around with 4 power tools (so far), working from one batter type.

Good, strong long lasting tools especially when registering for extended warranty. Batteries seem to have a decent life span too.
