Makita Launches New Outdoor Adventure, Giving Users The Power To Go Anywhere

The Power to Go Anywhere
Outdoor Adventure products feature a distinctive camo-green color inspired by outdoor environments. They operate within the existing Makita LXT System, giving users seamless compatibility and one system of cordless products for use at work, home and the outdoors. 

“Makita cordless technology revolutionized construction job sites, and now Outdoor Adventure brings new levels of cordless performance for camping, hiking, fishing, tailgating, and more,” said Brent Withey, vice president, brand marketing, Makita U.S.A., Inc. “There is a greater appreciation of the outdoors as people are spending more time outside,” he continued. “At the same time, there are no battery-powered systems in the outdoor products category with the advanced technology and proven performance of LXT. With the new Outdoor Adventure, users now have the battery-powered products they can count on when they hit the open road. If you’re a pro contractor, a build-it-yourselfer or simply a lover of the great outdoors, Outdoor Adventure and LXT is the cordless system for you.” 

Maximum Cordless Performance
Outdoor Adventure Products are powered by Makita 18V LXT batteries and feature the same advanced technology that power Makita tools on commercial job sites, so users get the same maximum performance and efficiency for the outdoors. Outdoor Adventure launches with 16 battery-powered products including a chain saw, inflator and wet-dry vacuum as well as cordless lighting, fans, audio equipment, a coffee maker and more. The system will continue to expand with a range of new function-specific products on the way. 

Work Lights and Flashlights

For users out of range of terrestrial radio or who prefer their own playlist, they can use the auxiliary port for MP3 compatibility or connect wirelessly via Bluetooth. 

Fans and Cordless Power SourceBring cooling air to a tent, trailer, or tailgate party with two Outdoor Adventure cordless fans. And use a Makita LXT battery to charge devices with the portable power source.

Inflator There’s no compressed air in the back country. For off-roaders, overlanders and campers alike, Outdoor Adventure has a portable solution for unexpected tire maintenance and inflation demands.

Beverage Utility and Cooler
Coffee and cold beverages are mandatory for any road trip or tailgate party. Outdoor Adventure has solutions that keep them flowing, hot and cold.

• Outdoor Adventure 18V LXT Coffee Maker (ADCM501Z) – It doesn’t get much better than fresh brewed coffee at sunrise on a campsite.
