Our take on the Makita XAG16Z 18V LXT Grinder

The Makita XAG16Z is a cordless angle grinder powered by Makita's 18V LXT battery system. It features a brushless motor, electric brake, and Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) that stops the motor if the wheel binds. Automatic Speed Change adjusts torque and RPM to the load. It suits tradespeople who need cordless convenience and safety features, though it requires batteries and a charger that are not included. Compared to corded grinders, it offers portability but may have less sustained power; reviewers praise its safety and build quality.

About the Makita XAG16Z 18V LXT Grinder

The Makita XAG16Z is a cordless angle grinder for grinding and cutting. It runs on the 18V LXT lithium-ion platform, which is compatible with over 300 Makita tools.

It has a BL brushless motor with no carbon brushes. An electric brake stops wheel rotation in 2 seconds or less. Active Feedback-sensing Technology shuts down the motor if rotation is suddenly forced to stop, which helps prevent kickback. Automatic Speed Change adjusts torque and RPM to match cutting resistance.

A variable speed dial sets the speed between 3,000 and 8,500 RPM for different materials or precision work. The slide switch has a lock-on for continuous operation. Soft start and anti-restart protection give smoother startups and added safety.
