In the past 90 years, Makita has made a global name for themselves designing and building quality power tools. With a world built around “More Power”, Makita has achieved and surpassed the quality required by today’s standards.
Makita really thinks about the person who will be using their tools - you and me! They have developed lines that make your job and life a little easier. With ergonomically correct tools, you get the same amount of power with less fatigue on your hands and body. If you can’t work 15 years from now, then they won’t sell any tools! So making sure your daily workload doesn’t overload you daily is at the top of their priority list.
Quality control is also a big concern of Makita. With 19 total quality checkpoints you can feel confident that your tool meets the industry standards. In addition to the checkpoints, there are other advanced quality controls that must be met for you to get your power tools; heat treated shafts and gears, tight tolerances, rigorous testing and a 3 minute final run test. All of these push their power tools to the limits.
Knowing that you can’t predict each and every problem that may arise with a power tool; Makita has designed a complete network of over 600 Authorized Service Centers across the nation. These centers are staffed with factory trained technicians to make sure you are getting the best service and quality that you as a consumer deserve.
Makita has been a juggernaut in the power tools industry for years, and with that recognition they have started to branch into Suzuki Racing and Major League Soccer sponsorships. They usually gear all of their promotions towards their tools or one of these two organizations. Check back quarterly to see what the latest Makita promotional giveaway happens to be!
With user concern and quality control at the top of the list; Makita feels confident when they launch new lines to their everyday users. Quality, usability and affordability are the roots of what make this company successful.
