YMMV Home Depot has the grinder in store in Ocala for this price on clearance.
Makita delivers grinding performance with the 18V LXT Brushless 4-1/2" / 5" Paddle Switch X-LOCK Angle Grinder with AFT, tool only (XAG26Z). The unique feature with this angle grinder is the X-LOCK Technology, which is a quick-change system for tool-free wheel changes. A click-mount and pull release lever make changing wheels easy. The XAG26Z is ideal for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit, and more. It's powered by a Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time, increased power and speed, and longer tool life. The BL Brushless Motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Active Feedback-sensing Technology (AFT) turns the motor off if rotation speed suddenly slows or the wheel is forced to a stop. The XAG26Z also includes a large no lock-on flush-mount paddle switch with two-stage lock-off. In the event that a battery is installed while pulling the paddle switch into the ON position, the anti-restart function prevents the grinder from starting. It's part of Makita's expanding 18V LXT System, the world's largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

I would say 80% as good as my electric which I dont use much anymore.
Is a good cordless grinder. If you want better you will need to step up to the new 40volt. But you are going to pay for it.

- They developed the T-Shank interface [homedepot.com] for jigsaw blades (used by virtually all modern jigsaws)
- They co-developed the SDS interface [wikipedia.org] for rotary hammers with Hilti (used by virtually all modern rotary hammers)
- They developed the Starlock interface [kelvinpowertools.com] for oscillating multi-tools (used by Bosch, Festool, Fein & Makita thus far)
- They now have developed this X-Lock interface [axminstertools.com] for angle grinders (used by Bosch and Makita thus far)
Prices for the accessories will come down as more players adopt the standard. And I think more will because the benefits are sound, namely:- Way faster accessory change
- X-LOCK accessories fit on standard angle grinders
- Interface is shallower, as there's no nut to get in the way
- There's no way of mounting the accessories incorrectly (i.e. backward)
At first, I was worried a bit about adoption of X-Lock too, but having a big player like Makita on board is a good sign for where things are headed IMHO.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
Their clearance section is just going to get bigger and much less desirable.
