Makita 18-Volt Lithium-ion is the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. At the heart of Makita 18-Volt LXT Series is the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger. The Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery (sold separately) by forcing air through the battery’s air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading battery charge times, which means the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (note: also charges 14.4-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries).

Great router. Slightly loose/sloppy depth knob, but it cinches down tight. Some may find it a little too loose for finer depth adjustments. Very nice brake on the drive. Strongly suggest adding the dust/vacuum attachment which is not included.

It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.

The Mikita saw is fine, but I contacted HD to see if the battery I had would work for this saw and was told “yes”. Well it didn’t fit so we had Toto buy a battery, also.
Johann Nitzsche (verified owner) –
More power than I expected , not too hard on batteries
Adelia Hammes (verified owner) –
Smooth, light and compact. A bit slow to stop spinning once turned off but not slow enough to be a problem. Used it even to trim pressure treated boards without any issues.
D’angelo Abbott (verified owner) –
Very well balanced tool to operate. Very comfortable in hand
Dion Wiza (verified owner) –
Powerful and easy to manuever. It took a while to figure out a good way to tighten the collet. Overall it does it’s job well and is significantly cheaper than the Dewalt.

Good tool, and good buy.

I like everything about this router except the placement of the on and off switch…I wish it was more ergonomic to operate with one hand.

Light weight. Does a great job.

I have been looking for a dependable cordless router for some time. After using this router to route 3/8” x 1/2” deep on numerous 2×4 material it withstood the test so I purchased another one! Battery life lasts about 3-8’ boards but having extra batteries was a plus
