Product Information

It’s a little late in the season, but considering some of you are still seeing cool temps and even a little Second Winter snow, check out the Makita DCJ205Z, one of the newest heated jackets from our friends in Teal! While there’s definitely some debate on our team, I prefer having a sleeve pocket when there’s no check pocket to put my pen in.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery.DCJ205ZM 18V LXT® Heated Jacket DCJ205ZL 18V LXT® Heated Jacket DCJ206ZM 18V LXT® High Visibility Heated Jacket DCJ201Z2XL 18V LXT® Mossy Oak® Heated Jacket DCJ206Z2XL 18V LXT® High Visibility Heated Jacket DCJ205ZS 18V LXT® Heated Jacket DCJ206ZXL 18V LXT® High Visibility Heated Jacket DCJ205Z2XL 18V LXT® Heated Jacket DCJ206ZL 18V LXT® High Visibility Heated Jacket DCV200ZL 18V LXT® Heated Vest BL1850BDC2 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Rapid Optimum Charger Starter Pack (5. The 18V LXT® Cordless Heated Vest has a power source that accepts Makita 18V LXT® and 18V Compact Lithium-Ion batteries for up to 28 hours of heat (with BL1850 battery, sold separately). Pro Tool Reviews is a successful online publication that has been providing tool reviews and industry news since 2008. That’s pretty much the standard configuration, though we have seen some that put heating elements in the sleeves. This is ideal not only for conventional power tool/OPE users, but for a wider range of users regardless of indoor or outdoors.

Aside from the battery pocket behind your left hip, there are two front pockets and a sleeve pocket. Since Makita doesn’t offer a kit version, this is going to have the greatest value if you’re already using Makita 18V LXT tools. Because of its style, this model can crossover into just about any environment easily—sporting events, outdoor adventures, and, of course, jobsites. The other side is that Makita doesn’t leave you with a bulky battery throwing off the jacket’s comfort by sitting in a back pocket. As a cyclist and runner, I’m not exactly going to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated as the World’s Strongest Man.Makita sticks with their 18V LXT battery for the power source—something that is both a blessing and a curse.
