The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Planer (model XPK01Z, tool only) combines the speed and capacity of a corded planer with the convenience of cordless. The result is fast and accurate stock removal, without the cord. This tool is part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion series, an extensive cordless tool line-up powered by an 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery that offers an exceptionally fast charge time. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls, which allows the STAR-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can be powered by any Makita 18-Volt LXT and compact lithium-ion batteries displaying the star symbol.

Excellent as much power as corded. An essential tool for locksmith. It would be great if router would accept porter cable router template guides. The guide for 1/2 bit is acceptable but poorly engineered.

Perfect & very handy tool.

This is a great router kit. Only knock I have is that for the price it seems like it should include the dust shrouds.

Would have never thought that a battery operated plane could handle the job. But, this thing cut through edges of hardwood drawers like butter. Love it.

This is a great router, smooth and convenient. Plus the kit is a steal for the price. I would recommend it for beginner or pro a like. One less cord on the jobsite equals that much more efficient.

A great tool to have lots of power in a small compact router

This tool performs as well as my corded routers without the hassle of the cord. Power is good. I was concerned about the weight of the battery on top, but the balance is fine too. Battery lasts through several operations including rounding over tops, cutting dados and even plunge routing mortises

Ideal size for smaller jobs. Plunger attachment is a must and works well

I read lots of reviews before buying this kit and I could not be happier with my choice. This little router is a beast. Using a full round bit I did 20 feet on the corner of 3/4 ” maple plywood. I could move the router as fast as I wanted, no sign of a power lag, absolutely love this router.

So far, so good.

A lot more to the set than I thought, didn’t completely read what came with it. Only complaint is with the jigsaw, it doesn’t have a way to lock the trigger, got use to my other one that could
Madelynn Predovic (verified owner) –
Excellent tool, the only problem is: understanding it’s only the tool , but at least you should including the dust bag. Other then that the tool itself excellent.
Everett Konopelski (verified owner) –
It gets hot quickly and that make the battery’s get empty.
Angelo Dicki (verified owner) –
