Makita has unveiled a set of new products, with two portable fans and two LED torches available to purchase.
In response to customer demand for rugged, high performance compact fans, Makita has launched two new oscillating fans.
Ideal for the workshop, home or office, these neat, space-saving fans measure just 180mm in diameter but still create a significant but comfortable air speed.
The CF101DZ 12VMax Portable Fan joins the ever expanding and highly popular CXT range and can be powered by AC mains power, or by DC battery operation using a Makita CXT battery.
Corresponding run times for the 12VMax model when powered by a 4.0Ah CXT battery, without oscillation, are 4.5hrs in Hi, 6.3hrs in Medium and 10.5hrs in Lo. With oscillation this reduces to 4.4hrs in Hi, 6.1hrs in Medium and 9.8hrs in Lo modes.
Using Makita’s 6.0Ah LXT Li-ion battery, the new DCF102Z 14.4V/18V LXT fan achieves outstanding run times without oscillation, of 9.6hrs in Hi, 11.8hrs in Medium and 21.2hrs in Lo modes. Run-times with oscillation are 9.3hrs, 11.4hrs and 20.2hrs in Hi, Medium and Lo modes respectively. Both models feature an automatic oscillation of 45° to left and right.
Both models have three speed settings giving a maximum air speed of 180m/min in Hi mode, 150m/min and 120m/min in Medium and Lo settings respectively, with an air flow in Hi, Medium and Lo of 4.6/3.8/3.0m³/min.
These high performance, body only machines have a screw hole for mounting onto a tripod, an adjustable hanging hook, and a fan head which can be conveniently angled up and down as well as left to right. An off-timer switch with LED display allows three settings of 1, 2 and 4 hours of output. The DCF102Z model also features a release button for vertical angle adjustment of the fan head. The CF101DZ and DCF102Z portable fans weigh in at diminutive maximum weights of 1.7kg and 2.0kg.
Two new LED torches have also been added to the range, the DML808 LXT and ML105 CXT. The new DML808 is compatible with both 14.4V and 18V Lithium-Ion batteries – the same batteries that power other Makita power tools. By simply twisting the torch head the beam can be usefully adjusted from wide to narrow. The ML105 can be powered by Makita’s CXT 12V Max slide batteries. The LED provides a sharp, round spotlight and the pivoting torch head has 12 positions with positive stops from 60° – 110°. The aluminium flashlight head is designed for increased durability and the multi-faceted reflector controls the direction and spread of the light.

Buying your power tools is a big deal when you’re starting in the trades. It’s a massive investment, so you want to make sure that your tools are reliable and can withstand daily use. You want ones that are built to last. So, when looking at tools like drills, saws, grinders, or a cordless impact driver, you have a choice to make – brushed or brushless motors?
If you’re buying your own power tools, it does pay to do your research before taking the plunge, particularly if you are in the lucky position of being able to invest in one of the higher quality brands. A number of factors can have a real impact on everything from how easy and comfortable the tool is to use, to how long it will last.
