Makita 40V/80V max XGT Overview

Makita XGT Concrete Tools

Makita's XGT concrete tool lineup delivers the power and performance needed for heavy-duty concrete applications with the convenience of cordless operation. Built with advanced brushless motor technology and 40V max to 80V max battery systems, these tools provide corded tool performance without the cord. The XGT concrete lineup includes:

  • XGT Concrete Vibrators: Makita-built motors deliver high VPM for effective concrete compaction with multiple power modes for various applications
  • XGT Demolition Hammers: Heavy-duty demolition hammers with Anti-Vibration Technology provide faster breaking performance than equivalent corded models
  • XGT Mixers: Variable speed control handles concrete and mortar mixing applications with ergonomic dual handle design and protective features
  • XGT Power Cutters: Large wheel diameter power cutters handle deep cuts in masonry and metal with integrated water systems for dust compliance
  • XGT Rotary Hammers: Feature Anti-Vibration and Active Feedback-Sensing Technology with multiple operation modes for drilling and hammering tasks
Makita XGT Cordless Power System

From 40V max to 80V max applications, Makita's XGT system delivers the power and performance needed for heavy-duty jobsite demands. Built for trade professionals who need corded tool performance without the cord, XGT tools handle high-demand applications that traditionally required corded, gas, or pneumatic equipment.

The XGT system features over 170 products across a single battery platform, providing a complete cordless jobsite solution. The 40V max lineup handles demanding applications with optimized power and extended runtime, while 80V max tools utilize dual 40V max batteries to deliver the power needed for the heaviest jobs - rivaling corded tools and gas equipment performance.

XGT Engineering: Built for Power and Durability

XGT tools feature purpose-built brushless motors with rare earth magnets and pure copper windings for maximum power output. Built-in microchips in both tools and batteries enable real-time digital communication, actively monitoring heat, overload, and over-discharge conditions while optimizing performance to deliver up to 2X longer sustained power during demanding applications.

Battery construction includes impact-absorbent structure with durable outer casing, water and dust-resistant triple layer protection, and multi-layer surface contacts designed for high current demands. The Rapid Optimum Charging System uses digital communication and dual cooling fans to evaluate battery condition and deliver consistent fast charging.

Complete System Compatibility

The XGT charging system maintains compatibility with existing LXT 18V batteries using adapter ADP10 with charger DC40RA, allowing contractors to integrate XGT into existing tool lineups without abandoning current battery investments.

XGT products span the full range of trade applications, from 2" SDS-MAX rotary hammers and 28 lb. demolition hammers to 12" dual-bevel sliding compound miter saws and high-power impact wrenches, providing a single-system solution for construction, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Makita XGT system?

XGT is Makita's 40V max to 80V max cordless system designed for high-demand applications that traditionally required corded, gas, or pneumatic tools. The system features over 170 products across a single battery platform for complete jobsite solutions.

What is Auto-Start Wireless System (AWS)?

AWS uses Bluetooth technology for wireless communication between XGT tools and compatible dust extractors. When connected, the dust extractor automatically powers on/off when the tool starts/stops, increasing productivity and reducing continuous noise on jobsites.

How do Makita XGT motors differ from standard brushless motors?

XGT brushless motors feature rare earth magnets of the highest quality and pure copper windings for increased power output. The purpose-built design maximizes power and performance while running cooler and more efficiently for longer tool life.

What's the difference between 40V max and 80V max XGT tools?

40V max tools use a single XGT battery and are designed for demanding applications with optimized power and extended runtime. 80V max tools use two 40V max XGT batteries simultaneously to deliver the power needed for the heaviest jobs, rivaling corded tools and gas equipment performance.

What is the breaking performance of Makita XGT demolition hammers?

The 80V max Makita XGT demolition hammer delivers up to 15% faster breaking performance compared to equivalent corded hammer models while accepting SDS-MAX bits.
