The Pro’s Guide to Brushless Motors: What They Really Mean for You

The Pro’s Guide to Brushless Motors: What They Really Mean for You

When you're running a crew, true leadership isn't about sitting in the air-conditioned truck and having other people work for you.

You want them to succeed more than you do. But you cannot foster that kind of high-level success if you are handing them outdated, underperforming equipment. The word "brushless" gets slapped on almost every toolbox in the aisle these days, but ... Read More

Makita's 36V Innovation: How the 18V X2 LXT System Changed Cordless Power Tools Forever

Makita's 36V Innovation: How the 18V X2 LXT System Changed Cordless Power Tools Forever

Most companies that hit on a winning formula play it safe. Makita didn't. When they launched the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion system in 2005, they created what would become the world's largest cordless tool platform.

This innovation didn't just deliver 36V power: it ... Read More
