Tools Continued from page 72 “Thanks to advances in battery technology, the leading cordless power tools on the market today offer output that is equivalent to – or sometimes even higher than – corded alternatives” overheating. The charger will then work to rectify any issues – for example, by cooling the battery down before charging commences to ensure no damage is caused to the battery – and make the charging process faster and more efficient. As a result of this process, Makita’s 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries can be charged in as little as 22 minutes (for 3.0Ah batteries) up to 55minutes (for 6.0Ah batteries). In addition, a 2.5Ah XGT 40VMax battery will charge in just 28 minutes and a 4.0Ah battery in just 45 minutes. A tool for every job When purchasing power tools, consider selecting products that share the same operating battery system. This means the same battery can be used to power all of a tradesperson’s kit and, as such, allows them to effortlessly switch between tools and tasks throughout the day. For example, Makita’s 18V LXT batteries can be used to power over 270 products – and its XGT 40VMax batteries can power over 50 products, with more being regularly added to these ranges. Makita also offers 36V machines that are powered using two 18V LXT batteries – and 80V machines powered by two XGT 40VMax batteries “Consider how investing in a single battery system will help to make work easier and more efficient, by allowing you to switch between tools and tasks effortlessly” – for professionals in need of additional power all within the same battery platform. Brushless all the way Another factor to consider is the type of motor used. Although brushed motors are effective, brushless alternatives are generally lower in maintenance. This is because there are no brushes within the motor causing friction. When friction occurs, it can result in wear and tear and the need for replacement parts, which incurs additional costs throughout the lifecycle of the machine. As there is less friction, brushless machines are also more energy efficient as less energy is lost through heat production. In turn, this can lead to extended run times of between 30% and 50% on each battery charge, keeping users working disruption free for longer. What’s more, brushless motors are smaller than alternatives, which means that many tools are more compact and lighter – but will still deliver the power needed for professional use. Cordless tools with brushless motors offer users a wide range of benefits including flexibility of working and manoeuvring around site, improved safety, long battery life and fast charge times. When selecting which models to add to your armoury, also consider how investing in a single battery system will help to make work easier and more efficient, by allowing you to switch between tools and tasks effortlessly.
