Corded, Cordless or Petrol: Choosing a Makita Platform
Every main product below runs on one power source. Corded tools give full power for all-day work where mains or generator power is available. 18V LXT cordless tools share one battery system across a very wide range; twin-battery 36V tools use two 18V batteries. 40V max XGT cordless tools deliver close to corded power for heavier work; 80V tools use two 40V batteries. 12V max CXT tools are compact for light jobs. If your site already uses one battery system, staying with it saves buying more batteries and chargers.
In each table, the model is one tool and its options are kit codes: codes ending in Z are usually the tool body only, while longer codes include batteries, a charger and a case. The "What's different" column explains models that share the same headline specification. These tools are available through Bart Mining in partnership with Makita Tanzania.

Maintenance Schedule
Most premature failures in this equipment class trace back to a missed routine check rather than a design fault. The intervals below are a practical starting schedule; adjust them to your duty cycle and the manufacturer manual.
| Interval | Task |
|---|---|
| Every use | Grease the chisel shank; check chisels for mushrooming and resharpen or replace. |
| Weekly | Check the cable or battery, handles and anti-vibration mounts; clean the vents. |
| As specified | Change the hammer grease and check brushes at the intervals in the Makita manual. |
| As needed | Stop using a tool that loses impact or overheats and send it for service. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Demolition hammer or breaker?
A demolition hammer is lighter and suits chiselling and moderate breaking, often held horizontally. A breaker is heavier, works downwards and breaks thick slabs and foundations faster. Match it to the thickest concrete you break.
Can these break rock underground?
They are designed for concrete and masonry. For production rock breaking use the right mining equipment; these tools suit occasional breaking and plant-area work.
Cordless or corded?
Corded breakers deliver the most impact for long shifts where power is available. The 40V and 80V XGT models remove the cable for remote spots or where trailing leads are a hazard.
