Makita has launched its brand-new power tool lineup for 2025. Here’s a look at what’s changed. From 40V max tools to upgraded finish nailers and smarter charging solutions, this video covers every new Makita release in a practical, easy-to-follow format. Whether you’re a DIYer or a pro contractor, these updates are worth knowing.
If you've ever spent time using power tools, you probably already know that Makita is one
of those brands you can really trust. And this year, Makita has rolled out a fresh lineup of
tools that are smarter, tougher, and honestly, way more fun to work with. From powerful impact
drivers to super handy outdoor gear, every new Makita tool has something cool going on.
In this video, we'll show you 20 of the latest Makita tools you can get your hands on this year,
and we'll break down what makes each one worth your attention.
So, whether you've been a Makita fan for years, or you're just curious about what's new,
you shouldn't miss this lineup. When you're dealing with stubborn bolts or heavy-duty materials,
you need more than just an average driver. You need serious torque. The TD-004G impact driver
delivers exactly that, pushing out up to 230Nm of torque from its powerful brushless motor.
It's built for demanding construction or installation jobs where consistency and
strength matter. Bit changes are a breeze thanks to its one-touch installation system,
which makes swapping tools quick and smooth. Dual LED job lights brighten your workspace
with both pre-glow and after-glow functions, so even dim corners stay visible. The trigger gives
you precise, variable speed control, and you can choose from four different impact modes depending
on the task. There's even a special T-mode made for working with thin metal sheets,
helping you avoid overdriving or damaging materials. All in all, it's a strong,
smart, and versatile driver designed to handle whatever the job throws at you.
After all that drilling and cutting, keeping your space clean becomes just as important as
getting the job done. That's where the VC013GL cordless vacuum steps in. Powered by Makita's
40V XGT system, it delivers strong, consistent suction, which is powerful enough to lift three
full 500ml bottles with ease. Inside, a larger motor and faster rotation speed give you up to
15kPa of sealed suction and a flow rate of 2m³ per minute. Even with all that power,
it stays surprisingly quiet. Depending on the mode you pick, the runtime can last anywhere between 22
and 120 minutes on a full charge. Its tank holds 7.5L for dry debris and 4.5L for wet cleanup,
and that makes it perfect for any site or workshop. Now, if you want to customize it,
you've got a full lineup of accessories, filters, hoses, caster sets, and pipe kits
for a setup that fits how you work. Once the area's clean, it's time for the detailed work,
the kind that needs precision and control. That's exactly what the DJV186 jigsaw is built for.
It's compact, lightweight, and incredibly easy to handle, making it great for smooth,
accurate cuts. You can switch between three orbital settings or straight cutting just by
using the lever, and the 18mm stroke length gives you enough depth for a variety of materials.
The variable speed trigger helps you stay in control, letting you adjust as you move through
different cuts. A sturdy aluminum base keeps it stable and balanced, while optional accessories
like the guide rail adapter or sub-base set make it adaptable to more complex projects.
Whether you're trimming wood, cutting panels, or shaping materials,
this jigsaw keeps things steady, clean, and professional without the bulk or fuss of heavier
tools. Some jobs take you into tight corners where regular grinders just can't reach.
That's where the GA055G and GA056G flathead angle grinders shine.
Both run on the 40V MAX XGT battery system and come with a 125mm wheel,
giving you power and precision in compact form. The GA055G uses a slide switch, while the GA056G
features a paddle switch, so you can pick the feel that suits your work style.
Here, the flathead design reduces the access angle at the tip, allowing you to grind or
deburr even in narrow or recessed areas, as tight as 39 degrees. Powered by a brushless
motor with an electric brake and an adjustable speed dial ranging from 3,000 to 9,000 rotations
per minute. Overall, these grinders deliver smooth performance and excellent control,
especially in spots where standard models struggle.
Now, after all the cutting and grinding, sometimes the real finishing touches happen outdoors.
The DUP181 cordless pruning shears make garden or orchard work feel effortless. They weigh just
0.76 kilograms on their own, or 1.4 kilograms with the battery, so you can prune comfortably
for hours. Inside, a brushless motor drives the sharp blades with smooth precision,
cutting branches up to 30 millimeters thick. A built-in sensor keeps the blade movement
perfectly in sync with your trigger pulls, giving you steady, natural control. You can
also adjust the blade opening through four angle settings to match different branch sizes,
improving efficiency and reducing hand fatigue. There's even a standby mode to save battery when
you pause. Maintenance is simple. Blade oil can be applied externally without taking anything apart,
and with an optional long handle attachment, you can trim higher branches safely and comfortably
without needing a ladder. When you're working on large-scale reinforcement,
speed and consistency are everything. The TR001G steps in with serious tying strength,
up to 180% higher than the older 18-volt model. It ties rebars tight and fast,
keeping your workflow smooth even on demanding jobs. Powered by a 40-volt XGT battery and a
brushless motor, it uses 1.6-millimeter wire to deliver clean, secure ties every time.
The wire pullback mechanism automatically tightens and retracts the wire tip,
ensuring a solid bind that won't loosen easily. Loading wire reels is quick and simple too.
Just open the cover, and the linked reel and feed mechanism create a gap for easy drop-in loading.
The tool also twists wires clockwise, reducing the chance of them coming undone if you ever
retighten by hand. For added comfort, there's an optional extension handle so you can work
while standing. Strong, fast, and reliable, the TR001G makes tying rebar safer and less tiring,
especially during long hours on site. And once the ties are done, you'll need a cutter that can keep
up. The SC001G is built for that, cutting 16-millimeter rebar in under two seconds.
It's fast, powerful, and cleaner, reducing debris and keeping safety in check. The rotating head
makes it easy to reach into tight or awkward spots, so you're not fighting for space while
cutting. With a brushless motor and a strong hydraulic unit, it delivers steady power and
Pair it with the TR001G, and you've got a perfect duo for reinforcement work.
Quick ties, clean cuts, and less downtime between each task.
That's the kind of precision you want when handling rebar day after day.
Moving outdoors, the DLM466 gives you petrol-like mowing power without the fumes, cords, or hassle.
It runs on two 18-volt LXT batteries in series, giving strong, steady performance for big lawns.
The 46-centimeter steel deck is built tough for long-term durability,
and the mower itself is fully washable, so cleanup is quick after use.
You can adjust the handle height for comfort, check the grass level easily,
and even switch between normal and low noise modes when you're working early mornings.
A forward-tilted blade helps prevent double cutting, which boosts efficiency and runtime.
Simple to use and easy to maintain, the DLM466 delivers that clean,
even cut every time while keeping things quiet and eco-friendly.
When you move from the garden to the workshop, precision becomes the priority.
The DST630 is designed exactly for that. Lightweight, well-balanced, and incredibly accurate.
It's great for cabinetry, trim, or finish work where clean results matter.
The tool comes with adjustable driving depth, a slim nose for better visibility,
and an anti-dry fire mechanism that prevents misfires.
You've also got an LED job light to brighten dark corners,
and selectable firing modes to match your pace.
With a magazine that holds up to 100 staples, it's built for steady workflow and smooth operation.
Every staple lands cleanly,
and you get the kind of control that makes fine detail work easier and faster.
Winter snowstorms can turn even short driveways into a real headache,
and that's where the SN001G Snow Blower really shines.
This cordless powerhouse makes snow removal quick and effortless,
without the hassle of cords or messy petrol engines.
With a clearing width of 530mm, it covers a wide path in each pass,
and the powerful brushless motor ensures smooth,
consistent performance while handling both fresh snow and icy patches.
The controls are designed for ease and precision.
On the left handle, you can adjust the rotation speed to match the snow's thickness,
and on the right, you control the discharge direction,
which rotates a full 180 degrees to throw snow exactly where you want it.
The foldable handle makes storage simple,
while the built-in LED lights keep your path visible during early mornings or dim winter evenings.
Compact yet robust, this snow blower makes winter cleanup faster,
safer, and less tiring, turning what could be a frustrating chore into something almost effortless.
With its combination of cordless convenience, adjustable controls, and solid power,
the SN001G is the tool that ensures you stay ahead of winter storms.
Alright, we've got the new LXT nailer lineup that everyone's been asking for.
So, Makita has added three new cordless nailers to their LXT platform,
perfect for trim work, finishing, and detailed carpentry.
There are three cordless nailers, the XNBO 4, 5, and 6.
Each one is designed to deliver the power and precision you'd expect from Makita's LXT lineup,
but without the hassle of air hoses or gas cartridges.
And Makita completely rethought how nailers should work with their new pneumatic spring mechanism
that gives you that smooth, pneumatic feel, without all the compressor hassles.
There are two mode selectors also, and the Brad nailer drives 2-inch nails,
while both finished nailers handle up to 2.5-inch nails with serious precision.
What sets these apart is the ultra-slim nose design
that gets into tight spaces where other nailers just can't reach.
And these are lighter and more balanced than the previous models,
with up to two times faster nailing speeds.
The depth adjustment is tool-free, and you get both sequential and bump-fire modes.
The big win here is no more dragging around compressors and dealing with hoses,
but you still get that professional pneumatic feel that makes all the difference on finish work.
Here's something a little different from Makita,
and it's aimed directly at HVAC professionals who need serious vacuum power on the job.
The 18-volt X2-LXT dual-stage vacuum pump delivers an impressive 4 cubic feet per minute,
which is powerful enough to purge industrial-sized air conditioning units,
something that simply wasn't possible with cordless tools before.
The smart part is its dual battery setup.
It runs on a single 18-volt battery,
but there's space for two batteries that work sequentially,
giving you up to 60 minutes of runtime when using two 6-amp-hour batteries.
You also get a 30-milliliter oil tank, designed for longer, uninterrupted operation.
Another highlight is the electromagnetic check valve,
which prevents backflow even if the battery dies.
A huge deal for HVAC work where precision and reliability matter most.
Professionals are calling this useful, letting them go completely cordless on job sites
that once required gas or electric vacuum pumps.
The dual-stage design means it pulls deeper vacuum levels faster,
making installations quicker, cleaner, and more reliable,
all with the freedom of the LXT platform.
This compact 18-volt LXT polisher and sander combo is built for precision detail work,
perfect for areas where bigger tools just can't fit.
Despite its small size, it delivers serious professional performance.
It features a dual-speed selector, up to 2800 RPM in polishing mode,
and up to 9500 RPM for sanding, giving you true versatility
whether you're finishing surfaces or buffing out fine details.
Powered by a brushless motor, it runs cooler and more efficiently,
offering longer runtime and less heat buildup,
which is critical when working on delicate materials.
Users also love the rubberized gear housing
that helps protect the surface you're working on from accidental scuffs or scratches.
Safety is also built in with anti-restart protection
that prevents the tool from accidentally turning on after battery changes.
Plus, you get 3-inch polishing pads and 2-inch sanding accessories included,
plus star protection technology,
which continuously monitors battery and tool performance in real time.
From furniture refinishing to automotive touch-ups and precision sanding,
this subcompact tool delivers the control, comfort, and consistency professionals rely on.
Now this one is all about serious cutting power.
The Makita UC030G is a 40-volt XGT cordless chainsaw
that's designed to rival 50 to 60 cubic centimeters gas-powered saws,
but without all the maintenance, fumes, or pull-start hassle.
It features an adjustable chain speed that goes up to 29 meters per second
with three speed settings to match different cutting conditions.
The ergonomic soft-grip handle keeps you comfortable and in control,
even during long cutting sessions.
Runtime is impressive too.

It's built for both wet and dry clean-up,
offering 15 kilopascals of max-sealed suction,
and an airflow volume of 2 cubic meters per minute.
And here's the best part.
It's quiet, running at just 75 decibels, so you don't have to shout over it.
The VC013GL model supports wireless activation,
compatible with Makita's Autostart wireless system,
while the 14GL version includes a flexible hose
that stretches from 0.4 to 2 meters for extended reach.
Both have filter bags for easy disposal,
and tank capacities of 7.5 liters dry or 4.5 liters wet,
so you can handle big clean-up jobs without constant emptying.
