Makita launches Outdoor Adventure
Outdoor Adventure products, powered by 18V LXT batteries, take users from the jobsite to the outdoors in one system
Fri Oct 07 2022
Makita has moved cordless into different spaces with the announcement of Outdoor Adventure, a new range of cordless products for camping, hiking and fishing.
They feature a distinctive camo-green colour inspired by outdoor environments and operate within the existing Makita LXT(r) System. This gives users seamless compatibility and one system of cordless products. Brent Withey, vice president - brand marketing, Makita USA, said:
...There is a greater appreciation of the outdoors as people are spending more time outside. 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 Outdoor Adventure, users now have battery-powered products they can count on when they hit the open road...
Outdoor Adventure products are powered by Makita 18V LXT batteries and feature the same technology that power Makita tools on commercial job sites. The range launches with 16 battery-powered products including a chain saw, inflator and wet-dry vacuum as well as cordless lighting, fans, audio equipment, and a coffee maker. The system will continue to expand with a range of new function-specific products on the way.
The following are the new Outdoor Adventure products announced for October 2022:
Work lights and flashlights
When the sun goes down, campers and hikers need portable and powerful lighting. Outdoor Adventure work lights and flashlights bring reliable, long-lasting lighting to camp sites, workspaces, or wherever the road leads.
Speaker and radio
Outdoor Adventure offers two powerful and portable solutions that bring the audio to camp sites, tailgate parties, and more. Both feature the convenience of Bluetooth.
Fans and cordless power source
Bring cooling air to a tent or trailer with two Outdoor Adventure cordless fans. A Makita battery can be used 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.
Chainsaw, vacuum and blower
Whether it's trail-clearing and cutting firewood, or just cleaning up an RV, tent or pop-up trailer, Outdoor Adventure is the solution. This system includes a powerful chain saw for portable cutting, and two efficient tools for fast clean-ups.
Beverage utility and cooler
Coffee and cold beverages are mandatory for any road trip. Outdoor Adventure has solutions that keep them flowing, hot or cold, including a battery-powered coffee maker.
Coming soon: A battery-powered hot water kettle and cooler/warmer.
