Beginning a cordless tool kit or updating your existing one can be pricey. Even if you've got a good set going, batteries tend to be expensive, and need to be replaced after a while to keep your tools running well. Getting good-quality tools is important, though—a cheap set won't last and will just end up costing you in the long run. Here are a few deals from Makita so building out your tool kit won’t break the bank.
Batteries and chargers
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger kit is on sale for $148.80 right now, 70% off its usual price. The set is a good deal if you need new batteries for your existing cordless set or if you want to update your existing set. It comes with a rapid charger that will charge batteries in 45 minutes, two 18 volt batteries and a tool bag.
Saws
For a good cordless tool kit, you’ll need a circular saw and a jigsaw. The Makita Rear Handle 7-1/4" Circular Saw is on sale right now for $121.42, 68% off its usual price. It’s a bare tool, so it doesn’t come with batteries or blades, but it’s a good deal if you already have a Makita battery set. The Makita cordless jigsaw is on sale for $114.95, 60% off its regular price. This is also a bare tool package, so you’ll need 18-volt Makita batteries for it to work.
Drills and drivers
A good quality drill and driver set is central to a cordless tool set. The Makita Sub Compact Impact Driver is on sale for $86.82, 57% off its normal price, and the Makita ⅜” 12 volt impact wrench is on sale for $57.99, 65% off its regular price. The sub compact impact driver is good for getting into tight spaces since it’s a little smaller than the regular impact driver. Both the driver and the impact wrench are bare-tool-only packages, so you’ll need batteries to use them. The Makita impact driver and drill kit is on sale for $347.69, 54% off its usual price. The kit comes with a drill, impact driver, charger, two batteries and a tool bag, so it’s a good deal for starting a cordless kit.
Bits and accessories
For adding to your kit, or for expendables like bits and blades that will need to be replaced over time, Makita has included some accessories in its sale. A two-pack of Impactx T27 Torx 2″ Power Bits is on sale for $3.49, 50% off its usual price. The bits are designed to drive torx screws with an impact driver, so keep that in mind. The Makita 14” contractor tool bag is on sale for $15.99, 66% off its usual price. It has a shoulder strap and a handy tape measure pocket. The Makita Outdoor Adventure LED flashlight is on sale for $43.90, 49% off its regular price, and it’s perfect for camping or for a vehicle emergency kit. The flashlight has a 160 lumen output with a rotating head so you can set it up as a lantern or use it as a handheld flashlight. The Makita ratchet and bit set comes with 46 bits and a hand held ratchet driver and it’s on sale for $24.20, 43% off its regular price.
