Makita has delivered a cordless cutting solution for rebar and steel rod with the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Steel Rod Flush Cutter Kit (XCS06T1). It will cut up to #8 Rebar or 1 threaded rod up to 1/8 flush to the surface. It’s powered by a Makita brushless motor with 2,200 RPM for faster cutting and the carbide-tipped blade delivers burr-free cutting with minimal spark emission. The kit also includes a chip collector for capturing metal cut-offs and a side handle that adjusts to 3 positions for operator comfort and convenience. It is an ideal solution for work away from a power source or in remote locations. For increased durability, the XCS06ZK is equipped with Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions. Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries.

Good drill for price

Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power
Pattie Kertzmann (verified owner) –
Great
Luther Reichel (verified owner) –
It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.
Phoebe Schowalter (verified owner) –
Last much longer than the 3.0. A bit pricey though
Anais Hartmann (verified owner) –
They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.

Love the power and reliability it provides

Bought the charger and battery at the same time I purchased a small blower. The blower is very lightweight which makes it easy for my wife to use. The charger recharges the battery in about a half hour. The battery eats the charge pretty fast. I would recommend buying a second battery.

Works Great!

I have used all kinds of batteries for multiple brands and systems but none of them compare to the 5a. The star protection keeps you going through the whole job. One 5a battery all day or multiple 3a batteries throughout your day? You decide but I’ll take only one battery for the job any day.
