The XAG20Z is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more. Additional features include an Electric brake that stops the grinding or Cut-Off wheel in 2 seconds or less, and electronic torque control that turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. The variable speed control dial allows manual RPM adjustment (3, 000 – 8, 500), allowing the user to match the speed to the application. It’S part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium- Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

  • Powerful, Safe, Comfortable Grinder
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
Makita has made a lot of improvements over previous models with this one. I put this thing through it's paces and it has handled everything I could throw at it perfectly. The brake works great and allows you to work faster, you're never sitting around waiting for the wheel to spin down. Speed control works well and is very useful. Ergonomics are well thought out and the weight of the tool is well balanced, it feels comfortable to hold for longer periods of time. This model has the paddle switch which is safer than lock on switches on other models, but this may come down to personal preference. No AWS on this model, if you need AWS get the XAG21ZU. Makita does make some good dust collection shrouds to go with these grinders. ... show more

  • Extremely useful
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
Speed control, for me, is a must. Makes this a much more versatile tool. The brake is also really helpful. It's a shame there's a $60 premium for this model over the "dumb" one, but I think it's money well spent. I also prefer paddle switches since I find the toggle switch kinda unsafe and unnerving to use. With a battery, it's a pretty long tool! Feels pretty well balanced. I kinda wish there was a third screw hole for the handle on the top of the gear housing like my old Dewalt has, for when you're cutting, but not a huge deal. Again, the variable speed is a must. Using wire wheels at full speed scares the hell out of me. ... show more

  • Well balanced and powerful
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
Needed for some metal and masonry work. Already had the Makita family batteries so decision was an easy one. Love the variable speed feature. Tool and proper discs made fast work of both jobs. Peace

  • Nice grinder.
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
Works well in a heavy construction environment. Battery life (with old well abused batteries) is good. Has a selectable speed control which I haven't had before. The speed control seems useful, though I haven't really determined what I would need the lower speeds for yet. Purchased to replace a cordless Makita grinder I had that finally smoked out. Time will tell how this one will hold up, but it's looking good so far. ... show more

  • Nice balance. Great Power
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
Picking my first 18-volt tool was a BIG decision since it meant committing to one brand of tools since batteries are not interchangeable between brands. After careful evaluation I committed to the Makita 18v line of tools based on my 20+ years experience with my old Makita 9.6v drills and jigsaw which are still workhorses. My final decision came after reading an incredible review of the Makita Oscillating MultiTool (XMT03) which is the first 18-volt tool in the Makita line that I purchased (in 2019). Once committed to the Makita line in mid-2019, I started buying tools as I needed them. I selected this Makita 4-1/2”/ 5" Paddle Cutoff/Angle Grinder (XAG20Z) after researching all the available models on the MakitaTools.com website and comparing their various features. I like the paddle switch (trigger style) rather than the slide switch (on/off) button for convenience and SAFETY since you have to keep the paddle switch depressed to operate while the slide switch stays on even if you drop it. Great Tool and works with all standard cut-off wheels, brushes, grinding wheels, etc on the market that fit standard 5/8" arbor. ... show more

  • Throw away the cord
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
I like this but it is noisy starting up - which may be normal - and if you turn the disk with it off you hear an awful gear clicking sound. Again, that may be normal as the gears might not be designed to engage unless it is turned on. But one would expect that turning the grinding wheel while off would turn or try to turn the electric motor since one would expect that they are directly connected. ... show more

  • Excellent angle grinder for smaller jobs
Style: Grinder, Tool Only
I bought this grinder to replace a 15-year-old Makita battery grinder that I wore out. I like the paddle handle, the safety lock on the paddle is a bit fiddly but it's a good safety idea. The variable speed is helpful, it's easy to change the wheels/brushes with the spanner wrench and the tool has good ergonomics. it's brushless and feels solid in my hands. It has enough power for smaller jobs. If I need to get serious, I pull out my 120v Metabo grinder because NO battery grinder has the same power as a 120v model, especially a top brand grinder. I bought an extra spanner wrench and lock nut set for about $12 because if the OEM ones grow legs, you're sort of screwed. I like this tool for quick jobs. I used it today with a vitreous cut off wheel to make an adjustment on a wheeled base for my fireproof shop garbage can dolly. Worked great. If you're serious about your tools, get a battery grinder like this AND a corded version of whatever brand your prefer. ... show more
