Commercial Power Tools & Cordless Equipment

Q: What does 'Skin Only' mean when buying a power tool?

When a power tool is listed as a 'Skin' or 'Tool Only', it means you are purchasing just the bare tool. The lithium-ion battery, charger, and hard case are not included. This is a highly cost-effective way to expand your kit if you already own compatible batteries from the same brand.

Q: What is the advantage of a brushless power tool motor?

Brushless motors do not use physical carbon brushes, completely eliminating internal friction and voltage drop. This results in up to 50% longer battery run times, significantly more torque, zero maintenance, and a motor that will not overheat during heavy commercial use.

Q: Are Makita 18V LXT batteries interchangeable?

Yes. One of the greatest advantages of the Makita 18V LXT platform is that a single 18V battery will power over 300 different tools in their ecosystem. You can seamlessly swap the same battery between your drill, angle grinder, circular saw, and blower.

Q: How do 36V (18Vx2) power tools work?

Makita's 18Vx2 technology allows you to insert two standard 18V batteries into a single tool simultaneously. The tool combines their voltage to deliver massive 36V power, providing the performance of a corded industrial machine without requiring you to buy a completely different battery platform.

Q: What is an oscillating multi-tool used for?

A multi-tool oscillates a blade back and forth at incredibly high speeds. It is the ultimate precision tool used for plunge-cutting into drywall, undercutting door jambs, scraping old tile adhesive, and sanding in tight corners where standard circular or reciprocating saws cannot fit.

Q: What are the WHS benefits of using a cordless angle grinder?

A cordless angle grinder eliminates the severe trip hazard of long extension cords snaking across a busy job site. Furthermore, modern cordless grinders often feature instant electronic brakes and kickback reduction technology to immediately stop the blade if the disc binds in the material.

Q: Can I buy complete combo kits for my trade business?

Yes. Freshway Supplies offers commercial combo kits (such as 2-piece drill and impact driver sets) which include the tools, multiple high-capacity batteries, a rapid charger, and a carry case. These kits are the most cost-effective way to outfit new apprentices or upgrade your fleet.

Executing heavy-duty construction, facility maintenance, and industrial fabrication requires machinery that delivers uncompromising torque without tying operators to a power outlet. Commercial Power Tools have revolutionized the modern job site, providing trade professionals with immense cordless freedom. By utilizing advanced brushless motors and high-capacity lithium-ion batteries, today’s 18V and 36V cordless platforms deliver the raw power of corded machinery with unparalleled mobility, efficiency, and WHS safety.

Brushless Technology & The 18V LXT Ecosystem

Standard brushed motors suffer from friction, heat buildup, and eventual carbon brush failure. Brushless power tools utilize intelligent electronic controls to optimize battery energy, extending run times by up to 50% per charge while completely eliminating internal wear-and-tear. Brands like Makita have engineered massive 18V LXT and 36V (18Vx2) ecosystems, allowing facility managers and trade contractors to operate hundreds of different tools—from impact drivers and angle grinders to heavy-duty rotary hammers—using the exact same interchangeable battery platform.

At Freshway Supplies, we are a trusted distributor of professional-grade power equipment. Whether you require a heavy-duty SDS-Plus rotary hammer for concrete penetration, a compact multi-tool for precision cutting, or a complete Makita brushless combo kit, we provide reliable B2B procurement, competitive trade pricing, and fast dispatch across Australia.

Equipment & Technical Specifications

Brushless Motors: Eliminate carbon brush friction, drastically reducing heat generation and ensuring commercial tools survive years of heavy, continuous use without motor failure.
Interchangeable Platforms: The Makita 18V LXT ecosystem allows you to swap a single lithium-ion battery seamlessly across over 300 different tools, highly optimizing your mobile tool kit.
36V (18Vx2) Power: For extreme industrial applications (like massive circular saws and pruning shears), tools utilize two 18V batteries simultaneously to deliver 36V power without needing a separate battery platform.
'Skin Only' Options: Expand your fleet cost-effectively. Buy the 'Skin' (the tool only) at a fraction of the cost if you already own the compatible batteries and fast chargers.

What is the difference between an impact driver and a standard drill?

A standard drill provides constant rotational force for drilling holes. An impact driver delivers rapid, high-torque concussive blows (impacts) as it turns. This makes it vastly superior for driving long screws and lag bolts into dense timber or metal without stripping the screw head or twisting your wrist.

How do 36V (18Vx2) power tools work?

Makita's 18Vx2 technology allows you to insert two standard 18V batteries into a single tool simultaneously. The tool combines their voltage to deliver massive 36V power, providing the performance of a corded industrial machine without requiring you to buy a completely different battery platform.

Why use an SDS-Plus rotary hammer over a standard hammer drill?

A standard hammer drill uses a mechanical cam to create a slight vibration, which is slow and loud in masonry. An SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer uses an internal pneumatic piston to deliver massive impact energy directly to the bit, allowing it to penetrate commercial concrete effortlessly and rapidly.

What is an oscillating multi-tool used for?

A multi-tool oscillates a blade back and forth at incredibly high speeds. It is the ultimate precision tool used for plunge-cutting into drywall, undercutting door jambs, scraping old tile adhesive, and sanding in tight corners where standard circular or reciprocating saws cannot fit.

Are cordless power tools powerful enough for commercial construction?

Absolutely. The modern advancements in brushless motor technology and high-amperage lithium-ion batteries mean that premium 18V and 36V cordless tools now match, and frequently exceed, the torque and cutting speeds of traditional 240V corded tools.

What are the WHS benefits of using a cordless angle grinder?

A cordless angle grinder eliminates the severe trip hazard of long extension cords snaking across a busy job site. Furthermore, modern cordless grinders often feature instant electronic brakes and kickback reduction technology to immediately stop the blade if the disc binds in the material.

Can I buy complete combo kits for my trade business?

Yes. Freshway Supplies offers commercial combo kits (such as 2-piece drill and impact driver sets) which include the tools, multiple high-capacity batteries, a rapid charger, and a carry case. These kits are the most cost-effective way to outfit new apprentices or upgrade your fleet.

Does Freshway Supplies offer a warranty on Makita power tools?

Yes. All genuine Makita power tools, batteries, and chargers purchased through Freshway Supplies are covered by Makita’s comprehensive Australian manufacturer warranty, guaranteeing protection against manufacturing defects.

What are the delivery timeframes for power tools and batteries?

For metropolitan areas, standard delivery typically takes 1 to 3 business days. Note that large lithium-ion batteries are classified as dangerous goods and must travel via specific road freight. We also offer a highly convenient Click & Collect service from our Arncliffe warehouse in Sydney.
