Makita GA050GM201 40V Max XGT Brushless 125 mm Cordless Angle Grinder Kit (2x 4.0Ah, DC40RA Charger)

With a brushless motor spinning a 125 mm disc at 8,500 RPM, the Makita GA050GM201 delivers corded-class grinding performance on the 40V Max XGT platform. This kit includes two 4.0 Ah batteries and a DC40RA fast charger, so you can keep working through long cutting and grinding sessions.

Overview

The GA050GM201 is a cordless angle grinder engineered for professional use. Its brushless motor is paired with Makita's Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), which adjusts speed and torque during operation for optimal performance. Active Feedback sensing Technology (AFT) shuts the tool down if rotation speed suddenly drops, protecting both user and tool. An electric brake stops the wheel quickly when the trigger is released, and the anti-restart function prevents accidental start-up after a power interruption.
