Easy to use and packed with built-in safety features, the Makita 18V Brushless Paddle Switch Angle Grinder Skin offers plenty of power to handle most grinding and polishing applications. It features a 125mm diameter wheel and a high-performance brushless motor delivering a no-load speed of up to 8500 revolutions per minute. The kickback detection, soft start, and anti-restart safety features help prevent the tool from kicking back during start-up or turning on by accident, while the electronic current limiter protects the motor from overload. Makitas innovative Automatic Torque Drive (ATD) technology automatically increases torque when the grinder is under load to power through hard cuts. Built to last and endure heavy use, this cordless paddle switch angle grinder also features XPT technology for added protection against dust and moisture when working in outdoor or otherwise demanding environments.
