Makita XAG11T - 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-1/2” / 5" Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder Kit, electric brake, bag, lock-off, no lock-on (5.0Ah)
Makita delivers corded grinding performance without the cord with the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless 4-1/2 In. / 5 In. Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with paddle switch (model XAG11Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It's powered by a Makita Brushless Motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. For the most demanding applications, Makita's exclusive automatic speed change technology automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. For added convenience, the XAG11Z has an electric brake that stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less upon release of the paddle switch. The 18V LXT 4.0 Ah battery (sold separately) provides 35% more run time per charge than the BL1830 (3.0 Ah) battery, yet it charges in only 40 minutes for less downtime and increased productivity. The XAG11Z is ideal for grinding, cutting and sanding a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more.
