Makita Measuring and Layout Instruments
Makita electronics and instruments cover layout, measuring, and scanning. The 12V max CXT laser family runs from SK105 cross-line lasers to SK106 cross-line/4-point and SK700 360-degree 3-plane models, in red or green beam. The SKR001Z 18V LXT rotary laser handles exterior grading. Measuring tools include the LD050P and LD080P laser distance measures. The 18V LXT DWD181 multi-surface scanner checks walls and slabs before you drill or cut.
What to Look For
- Job type. Line lasers suit interior layout. Rotary lasers cover outdoor grade and long distances.
- Distance measures. The LD080P reaches farther than the LD050P for large rooms and site work.
- Scanning. The DWD181 helps locate objects inside walls and concrete before drilling.
- Detectors. Laser detectors extend usable range in bright conditions.
