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 | Check blades and wheels; empty or connect dust extraction. |
| Weekly | Clean guards and vents; check the cable or battery. |
| Every few months | Have brushes on corded models checked. |
| As needed | Replace worn diamond blades as a pair on twin-blade chasers. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a wall chaser instead of a grinder?
A chaser cuts two parallel lines at a set depth in one pass, with dust extraction, so the groove is neat and faster to finish than freehand grinder cuts.
Do I need dust extraction?
Yes. Cutting masonry releases silica dust; connect an extractor and wear respiratory protection.
Cordless or corded?
Corded tools suit long runs of chasing and deep cuts. Cordless tools suit small jobs where power is not close.
