Overview
The Makita XAG04Z is a cordless 4-1/2 inch to 5 inch angle grinder built around Makita's brushless motor and sold as a bare tool, with no battery or charger included. It suits owners of the Makita 18V LXT battery platform who need a cutting and grinding tool without a cord.
Automatic Speed Change lets the motor hold torque as the load changes, and Active Feedback sensing Technology cuts power if the wheel binds suddenly, which matters more on a tool this size than the spec sheet alone suggests.
- Brushless motor with Automatic Speed Change torque control
- Active Feedback sensing shutoff on sudden wheel bind
- Tool only, battery and charger sold separately
- 4-1/2 inch to 5 inch wheel capacity
Who it's for
DIYers and tradespeople already carrying Makita 18V LXT batteries who cut or grind metal around the house or job site. Less suited to someone starting from zero on batteries, since this tool ships without one.
Pros and cons
- Strong cutting power on rusty bolts and steel stock
- Runs a long time per charge on a 5.0Ah battery
- Priced well below the comparable Milwaukee Fuel grinder
- Safety paddle switch feels sturdy in one hand
- No tool less disc change, unlike some Milwaukee models
- Battery drains faster on thicker metal cuts
- On the heavy side for a compact angle grinder
