Everyone claims to be the best, with better performance, batteries, and selection than any of the competition. But which one really delivers the best options for flexibility in your operation? **[Makita's LXT lineup](https://www.makitatools.com/lxtadvantage)** of cordless power tools delivers a great combination of superior battery life, flexibility across tool lines and strong performance in the field. Here's a look at what makes the LXT stand out from the crowd. [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2715199/7ce253df-bef7-4a2f-9569-d882a9b54b71.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2715199/7ce253df-bef7-4a2f-9569-d882a9b54b71) ![Makita LXT Cordless Nail Gun](https://content.starsales.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog/makita-nail-gun.png?width=270&name=makita-nail-gun.png) ### Flexibility in Size and Power You need something tough to get through the worst your job site has to offer, but your spouse just needs a simple cordless drill to push a few screws into a project. Makita's LXT line offers everything from professional-grade tools that can take a pair of 18V batteries to deliver 36V performance down to ultra-compact, ultra-light options for the average homeowner's lightweight needs. As the first company to offer an 18V system, Makita now offers over 200 solutions for its LXT line, providing true flexibility on the very same battery system. ### Industry Options Makita has been used for decades by contractors in a wide range of industries as diverse as woodworking to concrete work and landscaping to metalworking. Their focus on providing batteries that run the range from simple to industrial means that the same batteries take you effortlessly from task to task with no real problems. It even has a robotic vacuum system available in the line to help you keep up with the new **[OSHA silica cleanup requirements](https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.1153)** without wasting time or effort. ### Strong Battery Performance It doesn't quite keep up with the **[DeWalt 20V system](https://www.dewalt.com/products/power-tools/shop-by-cordless-platform/20v)**, but it certainly does give it a run for its money! A recent roofing project at the author's house paired her DeWalt 20V impact driver against her dad's **[Makita LXT impact driver](https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XPT02Z)**. The DeWalt was slightly faster and had a significantly longer battery life, but the Makita made for a more compact, lighter package that was easier to maneuver in tight spaces. ![Makita Cordless Power Tool Battery](https://content.starsales.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/blog/makita-battery.png?width=339&name=makita-battery.png) ### Long Battery Life During a quick look at their lineup, Makita claims that its tools make the following benchmarks: the **[XSH06Z circular saw](https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XSH06Z)** delivers up to 610 2x4 crosscuts per charge with two 5.0 AH batteries. The **[XRH07PTU Rotary Hammer](https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XRH07PTU)** pounds concrete with 8.4 foot-pounds of pressure on every stroke. The **[XCV05PT Backpack Dust Extractor](https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/XCV05PT)** delivers 90 minutes of continuous performance on two 5.0 AH **[batteries](https://www.makitatools.com/products/accessories/lxt-lithium-ion-battery)** to help you keep up with the latest OSHA silica regulations. ### Easily Repairable How many times have you had a tool fail because of a fairly simple part, such as a switch or trigger?
