18V X2 (36V) LXT Earth Auger Kit XGD01PT

Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Earth Auger Kit

With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 18V LXTÆ Brushless Cordless Earth Auger Kit (XGD01PT) is a welcome solution for landscapers.

The earth auger provides high-performance digging with even and consistent holes.

It is ideal for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting jobs, soil sampling, and construction projects. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers power equivalent to a 36cc gas earth auger.

The XGD01PT can drill holes up to 8Äù wide and 41Äù deep.

The extension bar, auger bit and blades are sold separately.

There are 2 speed options (0-350 RPM, 0-1,400 RPM) to manage power and run time.

A reverse switch clears the earth auger bit from high-resistance soil. Other features include built-in L.E.D.

Light illuminates the work area, Automatic Speed Change to adjust drill speed and torque during drilling, and a torque limiter, which is a built-in clutch that reduces gear damage by disengaging gears if the bit binds. ItÄôs part of MakitaÄôs expanding 18V LXT System, the worldÄôs largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries.

MakitaÆ 18V LXTÆ Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls.

Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by MakitaÆ 18V LXTÆ Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
