Having the right kit makes a long, hot summer on site easier.
Aussie tradies: hard workers battling it out across our sun-burnt country all summer long.
And, when you work in the sun all day, we think you deserve the finest things in life - or at least in the hardware store. So, we’ve put together a handy shopping list of Makita items to take your worksite up a level.
Keep your bevs chilled!
For the tradie with a taste for the colder things in life, a cooler stocked up with all your favourite icy bevs is a must-have. Y’know, like a…
Makita 40V Max 18V Cooler & Warmer 7L
- For the solo tradie, we’d recommend the Makita 40V Max 18V Cooler & Warmer 7L. Smaller, versatile and made tough to withstand the knocks and scrapes of life on site, it’s ideal for keeping water cold and coffees iced.
Makita 40V Max 18V Dual Zone Cooler & Warmer 29L
- Got a few people to keep hydrated? Go with the Makita 40V Max 18V Dual Zone Cooler & Warmer 29L. Its innovative, partitioned dual zones let you set two different temperatures – we’re thinking Powerade on one side, icy-poles on the other.
Makita Makpac Cooler Case Type 4 18L
-
For something less high-tech and more “built to withstand falling off a mountain”, the Makita Makpac Cooler Case Type 4 18L is your bet. It fits any size Makpac case, with 20mm insulation to keep food and drinks comfy.
Keep the tunes coming
Without tunes, is it even worth working? Keep up your worksite vibes (or just keep up with the sport) with a speaker like the…
Makita Portable Bluetooth Speaker Skin
- The versatile Makita Portable Bluetooth Speaker Skin is designed for use with 12-18V Makita batteries. With a Bluetooth range of up to 10 metres, it gives clear, punchy sound, and can take a whack if your team misses a few too many shots at goal.
Can’t say no to a cuppa
Yeah, cold water’s great and all, but even in summer, sometimes only a proper cup of tea will do. That’s why you’ll need…
Makita 40V Max Kettle Skin
- Yup, it’s a kettle. But the Makita 40V Max Kettle Skin is a nice kettle. We’re talking 800mL of hot water, durable build, spill guard and high heat retention to keep what’s inside hot, and what’s outside (your hand) cool – perfect for work, camping, or showing off to mates.
