What Is a Makita Tracker?
A Makita tracker is a covert tracking device disguised inside a battery case designed to fit Makita power tools. To anyone who picks it up — including a thief — it looks and feels like a genuine Makita battery. Inside, an iTrackDirect Bluetooth mesh tracking tag monitors the location of your tools silently and continuously.
Unlike GPS trackers, the Makita tracker uses Bluetooth mesh technology — meaning it works inside vans, buildings, and anywhere GPS cannot get a signal. It does not trigger alerts on nearby phones, making it a genuinely covert Makita tool tracker that the thief will never detect.
The Makita battery tracker sits in your tool's battery slot naturally. When your tools are stolen, the "battery" goes with them — and reports exactly where your Makita tools are.
No. The iTrackDirect Makita tracker uses Bluetooth mesh, not GPS. GPS trackers fail inside vans and buildings — exactly where your Makita tools are when stolen. Bluetooth mesh works indoors, uses far less battery power, and does not alert the thief's phone.
No. The iTrackDirect Makita tracker does not trigger proximity warnings on iPhones or Android devices. The thief will not receive any notification. To them, it's just a Makita battery — and it is completely silent throughout.
The Makita tracker case is designed to fit the standard Makita 18V battery slot used across Makita's range of cordless power tools including drills, impact drivers, circular saws, and more. Contact us on 01622 234 510 if you need to confirm compatibility with your specific tool model.

The reality for Makita tradespeople
Tool Theft Is Devastating Tradespeople
Every day, vans are broken into and Makita tools disappear. Without a Makita tracker hidden inside them, most are never found.
£3,000+
Average value of tools stolen per van break-in — enough to put a tradesperson off the road for days.

Tradespeople have experienced tool theft from a van or site in the past two years.
95%
Of stolen tools are never recovered — because there was no Makita tracker hidden inside them.
The iTrackDirect Makita tracker is a second layer of security. Locks and alarms deter theft — a Makita battery tracker helps you get your tools back when theft happens anyway. From £29.99 inc VAT.
The battery disguise advantage
The Thief Picks Up a Battery — Not a Tracker
If a tracker can be detected, it gets removed. The iTrackDirect Makita tracker is disguised as a battery case — weighted identically to a genuine Makita battery. A thief has no reason to suspect it is anything other than a battery they're taking with your tools.
🔋 Looks and Feels Like a Real Makita Battery
The case is weighted identically to a genuine Makita battery. It slots into your tool's battery bay and sits among your other batteries. Nobody — including a professional thief — will suspect it's a tracker.
🔇 No Phone Proximity Alerts — Ever
Some Bluetooth trackers send a notification to nearby iPhones. The iTrackDirect tracking tag inside does not. The thief carrying your Makita tools receives absolutely no warning of any kind.
📡 Bluetooth Mesh — Works Where GPS Fails
GPS trackers drain battery searching for signal inside a locked van or building. The Makita tracker uses Bluetooth mesh — which works indoors, uses far less power, and gives a 12-month battery life.
✅ Proven Track Record With iTrackDirect
iTrackDirect's tracking technology has already helped customers recover stolen plant and machinery. The same advanced platform now powers your Makita tool tracking.
🕵️
Silent. Disguised. Always On. The Makita tracker sits in your tool's battery slot with no lights, no sounds, and nothing to indicate it is anything other than a battery. It simply waits — and reports exactly where your Makita tools are when you need it most.
* The iTrackDirect Makita tracker is a Bluetooth-based location device — not a real-time GPS tracker. Location is updated via Bluetooth mesh when nearby networked devices pass the tag. This is what makes it more effective for tool tracking than GPS.
