Overview
Makita's XDG01Z runs on an 18 volt battery and spins up to 25,000 RPM at a bare tool weight of 4 pounds. The Z in the model number is Makita's standard marker for a tool sold without battery or charger.
Buyers already invested in Makita's 18V LXT battery line get a grinder that slots into existing chargers and batteries rather than adding a new format to the shelf. Sold as a bare tool, it is priced for someone completing a battery platform rather than making a first cordless purchase.
- 18 volt cordless grinder
- 25,000 RPM top speed
- 4 pound bare tool weight
- Bare tool, battery and charger sold separately
Who it's for
Suits Makita 18V LXT battery owners who want a compatible grinder. Not for first time cordless buyers who need a battery and charger included in the box.
Pros and cons
- 25,000 RPM motor speed
- Fits existing Makita 18V LXT batteries
- 4 pound bare tool weight for easier handling
- Sold bare, no battery or charger included
- Cordless runtime depends on battery capacity not listed here
Performance notes
At 25,000 RPM the motor spins fast enough for typical grinding and cutting wheel work, while the 18 volt battery platform trades some runtime and torque for lighter weight compared with corded grinders. A bare tool weight of 4 pounds keeps one-handed control manageable.
