Overview
Battery power drives the Makita XAG09Z, an 18 volt angle grinder that spins at 10000 RPM and weighs about 5.7 pounds, sold here as a bare tool without a battery or charger.
The Z in the model number is Makita's standard designation for a bare tool, meaning it ships without a battery or charger. At roughly 5.7 pounds, it is built for larger-diameter cutting and grinding discs where battery power replaces a cord.
- 18 volt battery powered motor
- 10000 RPM top speed
- About 5.7 pound tool weight
- Sold as bare tool, no battery included
Who it's for
Fits Makita 18V LXT owners who already have batteries and chargers and want to add a cordless grinder to the lineup. Not the right pick for someone without existing Makita 18V batteries, since none are included here.

Performance notes
Running on 18 volt battery power at 10000 RPM, the XAG09Z trades cord freedom for reliance on charged batteries, which are not included with this bare-tool listing. At about 5.7 pounds it has enough heft for control on larger discs without becoming unwieldy.
