Makita has unveiled five standout tools for 2026, reinforcing its position across both the 18V LXT and 40V XGT platforms with products aimed squarely at trade professionals.
18V LXT Autofeed Screwdriver (XRF04)
The XRF04 is a game-changer for drywall and decking installers. Running at 4,500 RPM, it drives up to 2,670 screws per charge using push-drive technology for hands-free, rapid screw feeding. Handling screws from 1" to 2-3/16" at under 5 lbs, it launched in January 2026.
40V XGT Cordless Rebar Tying Tool (GRT01Z)
A world first — the GRT01Z is the first cordless rebar tying tool on the market. With six adjustable tie-strength settings and ties up to 65% stronger than previous methods, it eliminates one of the most physically demanding tasks on reinforced concrete jobs.
40V XGT Compact 2-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum (GCV14)
At under 11 lbs with a built-in HEPA filter and 102 CFM airflow, this compact vacuum delivers approximately 120 minutes of runtime per charge. Priced competitively, it fills a gap for site cleanup without trailing cables.
40V XGT High-Torque Impact Driver (GDT04Z)
Delivering 2,040 in-lbs of torque across four speed modes with digital control, the GDT04Z represents a meaningful upgrade over the previous 1,900 in-lbs model. At just 4 lbs, it offers an excellent power-to-weight ratio.
18V LXT Dual Slope Rotary Laser (SKR001Z)
With a 2,600-foot operating range and horizontal accuracy of ±1/16" at 100 feet, this green laser runs approximately 135 hours on a single 6Ah battery — ideal for grading and levelling on larger outdoor sites.
