Makita 18V Multi-Surface Scanner
If you’re planning on drilling into concrete, wood, drywall, or block surfaces, it’s important to know what’s underneath beforehand to avoid injury or damage. That’s where the Makita 18V Multi-Surface Scanner comes into play. It lets you scan at a depth of up to 7 inches below your working surface to detect materials like metal, wood, plastic, and more.

Makita 18V LXT Cordless Cut-Out Saw XDS01
The XDS01 is the latest cut-out tool in Makita’s 18V lineup. Unlike the standard drywall cut-out tool design, it uses a more traditional saw blade that cuts into your material instead of carving it out. Makita tells us it’s ideal for drywall and plywood applications, with a maximum blade depth of 1 3/16-inch in drywall and 9/16-inch in wood. A 1/4-inch stroke length also helps prevent damage to objects behind the surface of walls, like wires and pipes.
