Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 7” Paddle Switch/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake. It’s powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries (batteries and charger sold separately) for 36V power and performance, and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18V X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like grinding and cut-off applications that often call for a corded grinder. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18V batteries on the XAG12Z1 as they use across the Makita 18V LXT cordless tool system. The XAG12Z1 is equipped with efficiency features for maximum performance. The electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 4.5 second or less for maximum productivity, and the Electronic Torque Control turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. For consistent performance, Automatic Speed Change technology adjust speed and torque during operation. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

If you are looking for a powerhouse of a grinder for a professional environment, you just found it. The new Makita LXT cuts or grind anything you throw at it, and the build of this tool is extremely impressiveContents of the Kit:Fist off, you get (2) 5.0 AH batteries in this kit, as you will need both to operate the grinder. The duel battery charger is also a huge plus, as you can charge both batteries at the same time. You also get two different guards, handle, grinding disk, changing wrench, cutting disk, metal flange and a very nice carry case. Build quality:This grinder is built to handle any environment that you use it in. Every moving part is made of metal, (NOT PLASTIC) and is very comfortable in the hand. It is a bit heavy at around 13lbs, but that’s what you want in a tool like this. Even the guards are made from thick steel that will take much abuse. Power: I can say that I have never used a tool with so much power in my life. At 7,800 RPM (36V), I can cut through concrete with little to no effort. Even though there is an indicator light on the tool to alert you of load/overheating, I felt no resistance or slowing down while cutting. When you squeeze the start lever, you can feel the torque in your hand (impressive) Batteries,As for the batteries, they are the 5.0AH, and last a very long time. They are protected buy a welded metal roll cage to protect them from damage incase you drop the tool. They take about 40 minutes to charge, but they do last a long time even with heavy use. The other nice thing is that you can use these batteries on many other Makita tools, so that’s a big plus. Cool features:I love that this has an electric stop on it. The blades/disk/wire wheels stop immediately once you let go of the trigger. The guards are also very easy to change out and tighten, as the main guard hand a nice tightening lever on it. The grinder also has a removable air filter that can be cleaned out when it’s dirty, and the fact that it’s brushless is the cherry on the cake. Summary,Listen, this Makita Angle Grinder Kit is unbelievable. The power, build and all around ingenuity that they put into this tool is second to non. Try it and see for yourself, you will not be disappointed.

It chews up 6 AMP and 5 AMP duel batteries in less than 10 Minutes. To heavy and awkward to handle in certain situation.Price reduction was the only reason I decided to try it. Would certainly not buy it at regular price…

The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.

I already had a single charger with the Makita set I bought several years ago. It makes recharging multiple batteries at the same time more cost-effective, without having to stop work.

Hi all. Just got this Dual Charger from Home Depot. Mine works good. Both Charger Slots operate Independently. Only complaint is, Fan is a little noisy when charging 2 at the same time.

Awesome! I was very leery about a battery operated grinder but, this thing has power. I bought 2 because my first one got stolen, and I use it enough that I needed another.

OK, I bought this one verses the single charger that comes with most Makita tools. It quickly charges my 4.0Ah LXT batteries in about 30 minutes or less. I have yet to run out of power or yet have to wait for a battery to be charged. All the indicator lights are very helpful. Also the cooling fans are a big plus so that the batteries stay at a good optimal temperatur. All and all I’m very pleased with this product.

this thing is no joke, it isnt small or lightweight so it doesn’t take the place of a 4 1/2 to 5″ grinder but when the extra power and larger blade are needed this one is beyond what i expected from a cordless. the brake is awesome, usually takes less than 2 seconds to stop. i put a lenox metal max on it and nothing stands in my way. if you wNt a large grinder and dont want a cord you have found the right one. cant beat yhe deal going on right now, 4- 5.0 ah batteries dual charger grinder and bag for 399.00, best deal ive got in a long time. great job home depot
