Makita XGT GA041GZ Cordless Angle Grinder 125 mm, Tool Only, 40V Max

The Makita XGT GA041GZ is a high-performance cordless angle grinder designed for professional tradespeople. Powered by the innovative 40V Max XGT battery platform, this grinder delivers corded-level power with the freedom of cordless operation. The tool features a brushless motor for increased efficiency and longer run time, and is equipped with an electric brake, soft start, and anti-restart function for enhanced safety. With Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT), the tool shuts down if the rotation speed suddenly drops, reducing the risk of injury. The GA041GZ is compatible with the Auto-start Wireless System (AWS) for dust extraction (transmitter sold separately). This model is supplied as a tool only, without battery or charger.

The electric brake stops the disc quickly for increased safety, and the soft start feature reduces start-up torque. The anti-restart function prevents accidental start-up after a power interruption. AFT technology adds an extra layer of protection by monitoring the tool's rotation and shutting it down if a bind or stall is detected.
