Makita 12V CXT Tools
Makita 12V max CXT Cordless Tools
Makita 12V max CXT tools run on slide-style CXT batteries and are built for light, compact work. This collection covers a brushless 3/8-inch driver-drill, a 3/8 and 1/4-inch square drive ratchet, barrel grip and standard jig saws, a 3-3/8-inch circular saw, an oscillating multi-tool, a multi-cutter, an inflator, a 23-gauge pin nailer, a vacuum, and a self-leveling 360-degree 3-plane green laser. Job site radios, speakers, and the cordless coffee maker run on either 12V max CXT or 18V LXT packs.
What to Look For
- Size and weight. CXT tools suit cabinet installs, service calls, and overhead work where an 18V tool is more than you need.
- Kit or tool only. Kits include 2.0Ah batteries. The CT232 2-piece combo kit is a simple starting point.
- Brushless options. The FD07 driver-drill and VJ05 barrel grip jig saw are brushless.
- Shared accessories. Radios marked 18V LXT / 12V max CXT accept packs from both platforms.

Makita 12V CXT Tools FAQ
Do CXT batteries fit older Makita pod-style 12V tools?
No. CXT batteries slide onto the tool, while older pod-style 12V max packs insert into the handle. Check that the tool title says 12V max CXT before you buy batteries for it.
What warranty covers Makita CXT tools?
Makita lithium-ion cordless tools, batteries, and chargers carry a 3-year limited warranty. Repair or replacement is at Makita's option through a Makita Factory or Authorized Service Center. Makita also offers a 30-day return guarantee on Makita products, excluding accessories and wear items.
