Does the signal work inside a Makita Mak-Pac case?
Yes — Mak-Pacs are polypropylene and do not block cellular or GPS. Mount inside the lid of the bottom case so the tracker stays with the base if the upper boxes are removed.
Brand
Track your Makita.
The teal Makita brand is a high-volume seller across the trades — builders, sparkies and chippies all run LXT. High volume on sites means high volume in marketplace listings, stolen and legitimate. TTT lives inside the Mak-Pac, the kitbag or the toolbox the Makita kit lives in.
Why thieves target it
Why Makita gets stolen
Makita LXT is one of the larger battery platforms on Australian sites, which means a deep ecosystem of stealable kit. The Mak-Pac stacker case is recognisable, robust and easy to roll. Brushless 18V Makita drills, grinders and impact wrenches all resell quickly. The teal box is good for spotting your own gear; it is also good for thieves at distance.
What TTT does
What TTT does for a Makita kit
TTT goes inside the Mak-Pac or the toolbox that holds the kit. For a Mak-Pac stack, mount the tracker in the bottom case so it stays with the base if the stack is split. The dashboard treats the box as the asset — geofences, alerts and live mode all work against the box, not individual tools.
What we don't do
What we do not do
No per-tool tracking on individual Makita drills or grinders. We track the case or trolley that holds them. For serial-number records on individual tools, use an inventory app — Tool Protect or a simple spreadsheet is fine — and combine that with TTT on the box for the recovery layer.
FAQ
Makita questions.
Three common questions on tracking Makita kit.
Will TTT cope with the Makita LXT charging station environment?
Yes. Workshop and charging-station conditions are well within the IP67 and shock specs. Avoid mounting on the charger itself; mount inside the case that travels with the kit.
What about Makita XGT (40V) kits?
Same story — the device tracks the case or kit storage, not individual tools. XGT cases are similar plastic and signal works fine through them.
