Makita

Beginning as an electric motor manufacturer in 1915, Makita built it’s first power tool in 1958, an electric planer, followed by a portable groove cutter. In 1962, they made their first electric circular saw and drill. Since then they’ve been industry leaders and innovators, producing some of the best corded and cordless power tools in the world. Today they sell tools in over 40 countries to professional users who demand quality, duribility and reliablity in their power tools.
