Pro Tool Reviews has highlighted four Makita products recognized by the Pro Tool Innovation Awards and available through Home Depot: a brad nailer, rebar tying tool, right-angle impact wrench and magnetic bit sleeve. The report lists prices for three tools, but does not give a price for the Impact XPS Mag Boost.
Pro Tool Reviews has featured four Makita tools recognized by the Pro Tool Innovation Awards and available at Home Depot, covering cordless finish nailing, rebar tying, fastening in confined spaces and screw-bit retention. The report, produced in partnership with the retailer, lists prices of $369, $3,015 and $279 for three bare tools; it gives no price for the fourth product, the Impact XPS Mag Boost.
The four products are among seven Makita award winners named in the report. The Makita 18V LXT Brushless 2-inch 18-gauge Brad Nailer, model XNB04, is listed at $369 as a bare tool. It accepts nails from 9/16 inch to 2 inches and has a 110-nail magazine. Pro Tool Reviews says it is 6.1 pounds in working weight and fires up to twice as fast as the previous XNB01 model; those performance comparisons are claims reported by the publication.
The 40V max XGT Brushless 16-Gauge Rebar Tying Tool, model GRT01, is listed at $3,015 as a bare tool. According to the report, it handles wire mesh through #9 rebar, offers six tie-strength settings and can make up to 3,600 ties per charge with a 2.5Ah battery. Pro Tool Reviews also describes ties as up to 65% stronger than those of the previous 18V model, but does not specify the testing conditions behind that figure.
The 18V LXT Brushless 3/8-inch Angle Impact Wrench, model XLT03, is listed at $279 as a bare tool. The publication gives maximum figures of 250 foot-pounds of fastening torque and 390 foot-pounds of nut-busting torque, and says it weighs 4 pounds. The fourth product, Impact XPS Mag Boost, is a sleeve with two rare-earth magnets designed to fit over a power bit. The report says it can provide up to 10 times the fastening-holding strength of standard power bits, but does not state a price.
Awarded Tools Target Different Jobs
The four products address distinct tasks rather than forming a single kit: the brad nailer offers a cordless option for trim work, the rebar tying tool targets concrete reinforcement, and the angle impact wrench is intended for fastening where access is limited. The magnetic sleeve is a smaller accessory aimed at reducing dropped screws while driving.
For shoppers, the report provides a shortlist of award-recognized Makita products and some specifications to compare. Price is a practical dividing line: the listed bare-tool price for the rebar tier is far higher than the other two priced tools. Actual value depends on a buyer’s work, battery compatibility and what is included at purchase. The report does not provide a full price comparison or independent testing data.

Seven Makita Awards, Four Retail Picks
The Pro Tool Innovation Awards recognize products across 15 categories, according to Pro Tool Reviews. The publication says Makita received seven awards, then focuses this report on winners it says are available at Home Depot. It also identifies other Makita winners: a 40V max XGT flathead grinder, an 18V/40V cordless tower and multidirectional work light, and a 40V max XGT motor unit.
The source report was created in partnership with Home Depot, a relationship readers should bear in mind when interpreting its product selection and descriptions. It says the featured products can be found at local stores or online, but does not provide store-level inventory information. The article is a product roundup, not a new award announcement or a report of a change in Makita’s product line.
“It also brings an upgrade on the performance side, with up to 65% stronger ties and better tying consistency across a variety of rebar sizes.”

Prices and Performance Need Checking
The source does not give its publication date, and it does not confirm current Home Depot prices or local stock. Listed prices may change, and availability can vary by store. The $369, $3,015 and $279 figures are described as bare-tool prices; the report does not spell out which batteries, chargers or other items are included with each purchase.
Some specifications are framed as maximum or comparative performance claims, including firing speed, tie strength, ties per charge and magnetic holding strength. The report does not provide independent test results or conditions for those figures. It also gives no price for the Mag Boost, and does not explain the basis for the “industry’s first” description of the 40V cordless rebar tying tool.
Check Stock Before Buying
Readers interested in a particular model can check Home Depot’s current product listing or contact a local store to confirm price, inventory and package contents. The report does not announce a later launch, sale or new award decision, so no further milestone is specified. Buyers comparing the tools should verify that they have compatible batteries and chargers and check product specifications against the requirements of their work.
