Unleash Industrial Power: The Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless X-LOCK Angle Grinder Kit

Experience the future of heavy-duty metalworking with the Makita GAG11M1 40V Max XGT® Brushless Cordless 4-1/2” / 5” X-LOCK Angle Grinder Kit. Engineered to outpower and outlast traditional corded grinders, this powerhouse delivers up to 60% faster cutting speeds compared to previous models. Powered by a specialized Makita brushless motor and the advanced XGT® battery system, it provides the sustained torque needed for demanding tasks like cutting thick conduit, grinding concrete, or polishing industrial steel. The groundbreaking X-LOCK quick-change system allows for tool-free wheel changes up to five times faster than standard mounts—simply click the wheel on and pull the release lever to swap accessories in seconds.

Innovation meets maximum jobsite safety with integrated smart technologies. The GAG11M1 features Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT®), which instantly shuts the motor down if the wheel rotation is suddenly forced to stop, while the Electric Brake brings the wheel to a complete halt in 2 seconds or less. For high-torque applications, the electronic current limiter prevents motor overload, ensuring long-term tool durability. This kit is also AWS® capable, utilizing Bluetooth® technology for wireless power-on communication with compatible dust extractors, keeping your workspace clean and efficient. With a variable speed dial and a ergonomic rubberized grip, this grinder offers the ultimate control for professional contractors who refuse to compromise on performance.

Pro-Tip

Optimize Your X-LOCK Mount: When snapping a new wheel onto the GAG11M1, ensure you hear the audible "click." This confirms that the locking tangs are fully engaged. Because X-LOCK wheels are designed to be directional, you never have to worry about installing them upside down, ensuring you always get the most efficient grinding surface against your workpiece. For the fastest charging, use the included DC40RA Rapid Charger, which features a dual-fan design to cool the battery cells during the charging cycle!
