MAKITA ADDS MORE SOLUTIONS TO 12V MAX CXT™ LINE-UP

New releases include 12V max CXT™ Jig Saw, Tile/Glass Saw, and L.E.D. Flashlight

12V max CXT™ Lithium-Ion Jig Saw Kit (VJ04R1).

La Mirada, Calif. – Makita, a pioneer in cordless technology, has expanded the next generation of 12 volt with a new 12V max CXT™ Jig Saw, 3-3/8” Tile/Glass Saw, and L.E.D. Flashlight. Makita 12V max CXT™ features slide-style batteries and are engineered to be more compact with more comfort and more capacity.
 
Expanding Line-Up
The new Jig Saw, 3-3/8” Tile/Glass Saw, and L.E.D. Flashlight are additions to the recently-released 12V max CXT™ launch line-up which includes two driver-drills, a hammer driver-drill, impact driver, recipro saw, and 3-3/8” circular saw. There is also a brushless driver-drill and brushless hammer driver-drill. All tools are powered by new 12V max CXT™ Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries with on-board L.E.D. charge level indicators.
 
2.0Ah and 4.0Ah Batteries
The new 12V max CXT™ tools are available in kits with 2.0 amp hour (Ah) batteries and charger. 12V max CXT™ tools are also available as “tool only” (batteries and charger sold separately), so it’s easy for users to expand their line-up.  For extended run time, a new 4.0Ah battery with on-board L.E.D. charge level indicator is also available (BL1041B, sold separately).
