Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V X2 LXT (36V) Lithium-Ion Brushless 9 in. Paddle Switch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder with Electric Brake. It’s powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries 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 XAG13 as they use across the Makita 18V LXT cordless tool system. The XAG13 is equipped with efficiency features for maximum performance. The electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 4.5 seconds 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. For added comfort, the vibration absorbing back handle is isolated from the motor housing for reduced vibration, and the soft start feature suppresses start-up reaction for smoother start-ups and longer gear life. It has a no lock-on rear paddle trigger switch, and the anti-restart protection is engineered to prevent motor start-up when the battery is inserted with the switch locked on.
- Bl brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the bl motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life; delivers 6,000 rpm
- (2) 18-Vol lxt lithium-ion batteries deliver corded power without leaving the 18-Volt lxt battery platform
- Electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 4.5 seconds or less for maximum productivity
- Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®) turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is suddenly forced to stop
- Automatic speed change technology adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimum performance
- Vibration absorbing back handle is isolated from the motor housing effectively reducing vibration to the operator’s hands
- Rear handle paddle switch with no lock-on feature
- Efficient bl brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
- Electronically-controlled bl brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and rpm to the changing demands of the application
- Anti-restart protection engineered to prevent motor start up when battery is inserted with switch locked on
- Weighs only 13.01 lbs. with battery for reduced operator fatigue
- LED battery charge indicator alerts user of drained power for each of the 2-batteries
- Large spindle lock button for easier wheel changes while wearing gloves
- Protective roll cage helps protect batteries from damage due to common everyday handling
- Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering motor
- Tool-less wheel guard for quick and easy adjustments

Best impact drill I had bought in 10 years

I bought this Makita impact driver to complement my old Makita drill. The first job I used it for was driving 6″x1/2″ concrete anchors, which saved my arms compared to the ratchet I was using. It has since come in handy as a dedicated driver while my drill is freed up to drill pilot holes.

Impact drill works great no problems with screwing 3 to 5 inch screws

Great tool, right for the job I bought it for.

I been using this brand for over 25 years for me is an excellent product.
Terrance Stehr (verified owner) –
This is my main tool at work. This is definitely an upgrade from the one that comes in the box set with the drill. It is quieter and seems to use less power. I would recommend it to any contractor.

This impact driver is very powerful. I used it to build a deck and it drove 8 inch screws with no problem. I have other Makita tools and am very satisfied. The Makita oscillating tool is a beast. It is well worth the money. You can’t go wrong with Makita.

Great addition to my toolbox!

already had the drill, so bought the driver only. so happy with the performance, and worth the extra to get metal gears. if you have the batteries already, buy this driver and not another brand for cheaper with batteries

My Impact driver is powered by older pre-LXT 18V Lithium batteries, BL1815, which work just fine for my home projects. Drives screws much better than a regular two speed drill. Drilled a few pilot holes in delicate materials using a 1/4 inch hex shank 1/8″ drill. I like this tool!

I absolutely love this impact! The different options are actually pretty nice
Carlie Fay (verified owner) –
Great driver! Takes a little getting use to the trigger but it delivers a nice smooth drive force. Be careful though, she has the muscle to snap screws if you are not careful!Great tool. I use it on kitchen cabinet installs and also around he home.Its a Makita, what can I say?

Had a Makita 18 volt impact 4 years old that was slowly getting weaker, tool is used every day. This new impact works extremely well. The three speeds are great, not destroying screw heads or snapping bolt heads. Only negative is that it isn’t sold in stores as tool only.

The drill works great for taking skid plates off of trucks at work.
