Makita Outdoor Adventure Goes “Green” – Literally
As seen in the above image, Makita’s outdoor adventure products debut in camo-green. This is to differentiate them from the typical Makita Teal they are known for. What’s interesting about the new outdoor tools is that they are actually using many existing cordless tools. But dressed up in camo-green and with new or slightly different model numbers. So no new tools here, just the same ole’.
The good news is that these tools offer the same performance and quality you’d expect from a pro brand like Makita. Rather than watering down the professional image with inferior products. In fact Makita claims that these “feature the same advanced technology that power Makita tools on commercial job sites, so users get the same maximum performance and efficiency for the outdoors.” The downside being that there doesn’t appear to be any actual new tools. Just the same “great” existing tools in a new color scheme and SKU’s. But on the bright side, the new colors do keep things fun. The real question is, what will Makita users think of these? Will they be upset because they are getting the same tools with a new color or will they welcome the new color scheme? Write your thoughts in the comment section down below.
Outdoor Adventure Tool Range
The “new” range includes cordless tools powered by Makita’s LXT 18V batteries. They include 4 lights, one speaker and one radio. Two fans, one power source, and an inflator. A chainsaw, vacuum, blower, coffee maker, kettle, and cooler! All tools are part of the LXT 18V family with the majority of them being 18 volt tools. However some like the kettle and cooler can take two batteries. The Kettle is a 36V tool and requires two 18V batteries to operate. While the cooler needs only 1 battery to operate while a second battery extends its runtime.
