Makita XGT GAG06Z Angle Grinder, Tool Only, 40 V, 5/8-11 Spindle, 5 in Dia Wheel, Cut-Off Wheel

The 40 V max XGT® brushless cordless 4-1/2 in/5 in paddle switch angle grinder with electric brake and AWS® (GAG06Z, tool only) delivers corded grinding performance without the cord for the most demanding applications. It's powered by a Makita built brushless motor which delivers variable 3000 to 8500 rpm for heavy load applications and increased power and speed. The GAG06Z offers up to 60% faster cutting speed when cutting #5 (5/8 in) rebar. It is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit and more. An electric current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high-torque applications. Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 s or less and Active Feedback-Sensing Technology (AFT®) that turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is forced to a stop. A paddle switch with no lock-on is convenient, while quick guard rotation provides tool-less adjustments for increased productivity. Anti-restart protection is engineered to prevent motor start-up when the battery is inserted while the switch is locked on. A soft start suppresses start-up reaction and provides smooth start-ups. Wire mesh intake covers are engineered to prevent debris from entering the motor. The GAG06Z is also equipped with Makita's Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™), a series of protective seals inside the tool. XPT is designed to improve a tool's operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. Reinforced metal gear housing provides additional durability on the job site. XGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries and chargers utilizing 40 V max lithium-ion batteries. Brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication and great durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
