The Cordless Future is Here
“Cordless innovation has taken so many job site applications to battery‐powered, but for years there have been those select applications at the top of the demand scale that still require cords, gasoline or compressed air,” said Mario Lopez, director of product development, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “Makita continues to break down cordless boundaries with advances in battery and motor technology that provide more power, longer run time and unmatched convenience and compatibility, like our new XGT 14‐inch power cutter. This is just one example, and Makita is here at STAFDA to bring our vision of a cordless future to life with real innovation that will make life better for professional users.”
