Chocolate is all well and good, but it doesn’t add much to your toolbox. The Makita Advent Calendar 2026 takes a more practical approach, combining hand tools, drilling and driving accessories, and branded extras for the countdown to Christmas.
The limited edition P-84894 offers 24 surprises and comes in a reusable MAKPAC Type 2 case with a Christmas design. That gives Makita fans something to keep using when the decorations come down.
Here’s what’s included, which items stand out and what to consider before buying one for yourself or the tool fan in your life.
What Is the Makita Advent Calendar 2026?
It’s a tool-themed Christmas countdown aimed at tradespeople, DIYers and Makita enthusiasts. Open a door each day in the run-up to Christmas to reveal another addition to the collection.
The appeal is the combination of useful kit and a few treats for fans of the brand. There’s something for the toolbox, something for the desk and something to enjoy when the working day is finished.
Spoiler warning: the next section reveals the contents. If you’d rather keep December’s surprises intact, skip ahead to the buying advice.

Which Items Stand Out?
The Reusable MAKPAC Case
The MAKPAC Type 2 case gives this calendar a useful life beyond Christmas. Once the countdown is finished, it can hold tools and accessories in the workshop, garage or van.
The Christmas design adds something different for Makita fans, while the case itself gives you somewhere to keep the collection together. It’s a practical part of the package that won’t be heading for the recycling with the wrapping paper.
The Hand Tools and Bit Selection
The ratchet screwdriver is one of the more useful everyday additions. Its ratcheting action lets you turn a fixing repeatedly without repositioning your grip after every turn, handy when assembling furniture or adjusting cabinet hinges. The separate 1/4-inch ratchet handle adds another option for manual fastening.
The accessories include 25mm, 50mm and 90mm screwdriver bits. Those different lengths give you options when working close to a fixing or reaching a recessed screw, while the metal and masonry drill bits broaden the collection beyond driving tasks.
The combination pliers and 3m tape measure also deserve a mention. Gripping, cutting and checking measurements are regular jobs around the home and workshop, so these are additions with uses beyond December.
If the recipient already owns plenty of tools, check whether these would be useful spares or simply repeat what they have.
The Makita Extras
The beanie, EFFICUT bottle opener and MAKPAC-style tin give the calendar some variety between the tools and accessories. The tin provides somewhere for small items, while the beanie is a fitting addition for the colder months.
The 2027 desktop calendar and sticky notes bring something for the desk too. For someone who enjoys Makita merchandise, these extras help make the calendar feel like a Christmas gift as well as a toolbox top-up.
Is the Makita Advent Calendar 2026 Worth It?
That depends on how much of the collection you’d actually want. Check the current ITS price and weigh up the complete package, including the storage case, against buying the items you need individually.
It makes the strongest case as a gift for a Makita fan who will enjoy opening it throughout December. The countdown is part of what you’re paying for, alongside the contents.
If your priority is filling a specific gap in your kit, a dedicated tool or accessory set may make more sense. If you want a festive present that combines practical kit with branded extras, this has a clearer appeal.

Who Would It Make a Good Gift For?
Someone who already likes Makita is the obvious starting point. It could also suit a keen DIYer or a tradesperson who enjoys a tool-related Christmas countdown.
Before buying, think about the recipient’s interests as well as their existing kit. Would they enjoy the merchandise? Do they like the daily surprise? Those questions matter just as much as whether they already own a screwdriver.
Give it to them before 1 December if you want them to enjoy the full countdown. Otherwise, they may have a fair bit of catching up to do.

Is the Makita Advent Calendar a Good Gift for Someone Who Already Has Tools?
Yes, particularly if they’re a Makita fan who enjoys the branded extras as much as the tools. The MAKPAC case, beanie, bottle opener and desk accessories give it appeal beyond adding another screwdriver to the toolbox. Check the contents first to judge whether the hand tools and bits would be useful additions or spares.

Do You Need to Own Makita Power Tools to Enjoy the Calendar?
No. The hand tools, measuring tools and merchandise can be enjoyed without owning a Makita drill or impact driver. For any drill bits or driving accessories you plan to use with a power tool, check that the fitting and intended application match your equipment.
Does It Only Include Tools and Drill Bits?
No. Alongside the practical kit, you get Makita extras including a beanie, EFFICUT bottle opener, magnet, key ring, sticky notes and a 2027 desktop calendar. There’s also a small tin with a MAKPAC design, giving the collection a mix of workshop accessories and gifts for fans of the brand.
