Today we’re going to be talking about what’s coming up from Makita, now like in my previous articles, it’s worth mentioning that not everything we talk about here will be released in the UK and because Makita plays its cards close to its chest, getting info from them is always a struggle.
Makita VC008 40V XGT Backpack Vacuum Cleaner
This great-looking vacuum has 4 power modes so is ideal for most environments. It has increased suction power but low-level noise and the harness design makes it comfortable to wear for long periods. The HEPA filter helps to clear all dangerous particles from the air. It comes with a T-nozzle which is switchable between hard floor and carpet and delivers up to 195 watts of suction power.

There is a whole host of extras that can be purchased to compliment this machine, especially if used in a workplace.

This is the latest 40V offering and certainly the most hardcore I’ve seen in a while. Of course, it has a fully brushless motor which gives you constant speed control. It produces 3.9J of impact energy and has low vibration of 9.1 m/s2 (drilling into concrete). The low vibration is thanks to the counterweights within the motor. They cancel the vibration caused by hammering and any imbalance rotation of the crankshaft.
What I love about this is the optional dust extraction system that can be purchased alongside the unit. It has a HEPA filter and is easy to empty and keep clean. The extractor is compatible with bits up to 265mm and has a depth gauge for increased drilling consistency
Makita DMR301 Radio/Charger
Now, this isn’t coming soon, it’s available now but worth mentioning thanks to it’s great features.
Not only does it give you the option of creating a welcoming and comfortable work environment with up to 200+ radio stations thanks to the DAB+ connectivity, but this unit will also charge any LXT or CXT battery when it is plugged into the mains. This is the first Makita radio to ever offer the charging option which is why we were so excited for its release
And it doesn’t stop there… The radio includes two USB output ports to let you charge devices at the same time.
The fast digital tuner lets you tune in to anything you want to listen to, from the latest charts, classical, musicals to news, sports – whatever you can pick up. If you can’t find what you want, Bluetooth Class 2 will let you connect your mobile to play your tunes up to a range of 10m.
