With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Cordless Earth Auger Kit (XGD01PT) is a welcome solution for landscapers. The earth auger provides high-performance digging with even and consistent holes. It is ideal for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting jobs, soil sampling, and construction projects.
The Makita-built brushless motor delivers power equivalent to a 36cc gas earth auger. The XGD01PT can drill holes up to 8” wide and 41” deep. The extension bar, auger bit and blades are sold separately. There are 2 speed options (0-350 RPM, 0-1,400 RPM) to manage power and run time. A reverse switch clears the earth auger bit from high-resistance soil.
