Makita is an excellent power tool brand that offers a combination of strength, reliability, and unique product technology that keeps its products at the forefront of the power tool market. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the more expensive consumer-grade brands you’ll find in most stores, and its products tend to be more expensive than those from other top brands like DeWalt and Milwaukee.
That’s why many Makita collectors are always looking for a good bargain. Discounts on Makita tools are rare, but some of the best deals are often packaged as “buy one, get one free”. This means that if you buy a qualifying Makita tool or product at full MSRP, the company will throw in a free tool with it.
These types of deals are always changing, however, so you’ll need to make sure you’re informed about what’s currently on offer. Many of you will be happy to know that there are many such deals available in July 2026. However, it is important to note that they are only available at participating retailers, so you may not be able to find them everywhere. In addition, some of them can only be found in the store and not online, so you will have to do a little hunting.
Two Makita coolers/warmers come with the saw
Summer is in full swing, and it’s the perfect time to check out Makita’s Outdoor Adventure line. One of Makita’s most interesting deals on offer right now will help you get some work done and stay cool at the same time. Those who purchase the DCW180Z 18V X2 LXT 12V/24V DC Auto and AC Cooler/Warmer or the ADCW180Z Outdoor Adventure model for $899.00 will also receive the ADCU10SM1 Outdoor Adventure 18V LXT 12-inch Top Handle Chainsaw Kit for a $0.00 deal, usually $99.00.
The coolers come in two colors, but have the same key symbols. Both have a capacity of 20 liters and offer four cooling (15, 30, 40, and 50 degrees Fahrenheit) and two heating modes (130 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit). Both will also run off Makita 18V LXT batteries, a DC motor cord, or a standard AC cord (the latter two are included).
The chainsaw you get with any of these has a lightweight, compact design with high handle control. You probably won’t cut down many oaks with this, but it’s great for medium-branched trees. Makita says the saw’s brushless motor delivers the same power as a 22cc gas engine, which means chain speeds of up to 4,720 FPM and up to 150 cuts per charge. The chainsaw comes with a kit that includes an 18V LXT 4.0Ah battery and charger. Right now, the deal is available at Acme Tools.
Get the blower with the 18V LXT Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Kit
Those looking to beef up their outdoor gear before the fall will want to consider this deal. The XUX02SM1X3 18V LXT Makita Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Couple Shaft Power Kit is not just a single power tool; instead, it is an all-in-one system with a single power head and multiple attachments that provide the functionality of different external tools. Get this set, and you also get the XBU03Z 18V LXT Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Blower in the house.
The Couple Shaft Power Kit costs $349.00. The variable-speed power head, with a lever-style locking system for quick, tool-free changes, features a brushless motor that’s strong enough to power whatever you plug it into. The kit comes with a 13-inch cutting cord attachment, a blower Couple Shaft attachment, an 18V LXT Lithium Ion 4.0Ah battery, and a charger. One of the nice things about a kit like this is that you can buy other Makita Couple Shaft Attachments down the line without having to use a whole new tool.
The blower that comes with the deal also has a brushless motor and can deliver 459 CFM at speeds up to 116 mph. It has a cruise-control lever, a variable-speed trigger, and a rubberized soft grip. It also features Makita’s patented Extreme Protection technology for dust and water resistance and Star Protection Computer controls, which prevent overloading, overdischarge, and overheating. This agreement is in place at Home Depot and Acme Tools.
A wire cutter comes free with one of the two self-driving cutting kits
Those in need of a lawn mower may consider the XML08PT1 or XML09PT1 36V (18V x2) LXT Brushless 21-inch Self-Propelled Commercial Lawn Mower Kit. Pick up any of these, and you can also get the XRU15Z 36V (18V x2) LXT Brushless String Trimmer priced at $369.00.
The main difference between the two mowers is that the XML08PT1 has a steel floor and the XML09PT1 has an aluminum one. Other than that they have similar designs and specifications. They use a four-bay battery system, allowing them to operate for up to 60 minutes and mow up to ⅔ of an acre on a single charge of four 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries. Both are automatic, with a variable lever that changes from 1.5 to 3 mph. Both have cover, coil, and side discharge modes. They also have brushless motors that can cut up to 2,800 rpm. In addition to the mower and four batteries, you also get a two-port charger, a 21-inch blade, a cover bag, a side drainage chute, and a grass bag assembly.
The cord cutter has three speeds and runs up to 3,500 RPM on low, 5,300 RPM on medium, and 6,500 RPM on high. It features Makita’s Automatic Torque Drive technology, which automatically changes RPM to reduce power draw between cuts and extend battery life, as well as a stop and feed head. Lots are currently available at Home Depot.
Buy an air compressor and a crown stapler, get a brad nailer
This bundle is a little different than the others because it requires you to buy two items to get the freebie. Those who purchase both the MAC210Q Quiet Series 1 Horsepower Two Gallon Oil-Free Electric Air Compressor and the AT638A ¼-inch 18 Gauge Narrow Crown Stapler will also be able to get the AF506 2-inch 18 Gauge Brad Nailer, which normally runs for $119, at no extra charge.
As part of the Makita Quiet Series, this one-gallon compressor produces only 60 dB of noise under load. It has a roll-cage construction, cord wrap, lever handle, and comes with a universal coupler. It’s a lightweight tank that may not be suitable for large construction, but it’s perfect for basic home work.
The small ¼-inch crown stapler has a few nice features as well. It has a bottom-loading magazine, two switch-controlled firing modes, and a retractable belt hook. The stapler comes in a kit with a hard case, nail oil, safety glasses, air vents, and non-marring tips. Finally, the 2-inch brad nailer that comes as a perk has tool-free nose cleaning and depth adjustment and comes as a kit with all the same accessories as the stapler. This agreement is written on Acme Tools.
40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 9-inch Power Cutter Kit comes with a 4 ½-inch to 5-inch angle grinder
Got something that needs cutting? Right now, Makita has a deal offering a free GAG01Z 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 4 ½-inch to 5-inch Angle Grinder – normally $254.00 – free when you buy a GEC03T 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 9-inch Power Cutter Kit.
The cutter promises 45% more power than previous generations while producing 55% less vibration. It operates at 6,600 rpm under no load and has a 3 ½-inch cutting depth, integrated water delivery system, and built-in LED. Safety features include Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) which kills the engine if a wheel is forced to stop suddenly, electric brake, adjustable blade guard, and an integrated overload indicator. In addition to this tool, the kit includes two 40V Max XGT 5.0Ah batteries, a two-hole quick charger, a diamond blade, and a cutting wheel.
Then there is the angle grinder. Makita says this 40V tool has the same power as a 13-amp corded tool, with a no-load speed of up to 8,500 rpm. It has the same AFT system and electric brake, and comes with a grinding wheel, guard, and side handle. This deal is currently available at Home Depot, Acme Tools, Fasteners Inc, and Tool Orbit.
