A bunch of New Makita 12V CXT tools have been spotted over in the Makita Australia website. Most of these tools are tools Makita has already made before in either 12V or 18V flavors but offer a different motor tech. Such as they already have a brushless 12V rotary hammer but the new one that has been spotted is a 12V brushed motor model.
Full list of new tools include a new brushed 12V hammer drill model HP331DZ (PH04Z USA model), the new brushed 12V rotary hammer model HR140DZ mentioned at the outset, 2 new 12V brushless Jigsaws (barrel handle JV102DZ and D-handle JV103DZ models), a 12V brushed multi cutter CP100DZX, 12V brushed T50 Style stapler ST113DZ, and last but not least brushed 12V caulking guns CG100DZA 300ml model and CG100DZB 600ml model.
Also want to mention that they also have a newish 12V brushed 23ga pin nailer which is also available in the USA as well model TP03Z (Australian model PT354DZ). The 12V brushed motor hammer drill is also available in the USA (PH04Z USA model) and has been out for a short time. I’m not sure of how long but it already has a few reviews on Amazon. All other models are not available as USA model tools, at least not yet but I have a 99% feeling we might see them here in North America at some point although with new USA only model numbers.
A big thanks to Glenn for sharing this news with us!

I mostly have Milwaukee tools but recently bought into the Makita 12v system and I just recently purchased the new M18 jigsaw M18BJS-0 and while it excellent part of me wants one of these new Makita jigsaws!
no reason why you can’t have both 😉
I’ve thought about about getting that M18 jigsaw as I can’t stand using my M12 model
Haha, yes I suppose both would be nice but I really cant justify having two tools to do the same job.
Javier, that’s pretty much the reason I bought it. I just didn’t like the M12 so I sold it.
The one above that I bought really is light years better. More power, better balanced, way less vibration and hopping around, a very effective dust blower as well as having the dust extraction port.
I have used it a few times now and I would say that it is one of the nicest jigsaws I have ever used, even better than my recently sold corded Makita.
Forgot to mention I have seen some local pricing on the new Makita tools above so it may give you an indication on what you may pay over there. Both jigsaws listed at $179AUD, the multi cutter is $95AUD, caulking guns are $219 and $279 respectively, brushed rotary hammer is $149AUD and the pin nailer is an eye watering $429! Guess I will be waiting for the Ryobi pin nailer after all. lol.
I’m sure the M18 version is loads better, the thing I can’t stand about the M12 jigsaw is that it leaves me out of breath, literally each time I use it. No dust blower means I have to huff and puff every few seconds on the cut line.
That’s one tool I’m definitely looking for a fuel version
I used to use my blower locked on and weighted down to point at the M12 jigsaw when I used it. Alternatively If the was a breeze blowing I would cut into the wind. Other than that, yes had to do the same as you, lol.
