Makita DGD800Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Die Grinder - Batteries and Charger Not Included

Still going strong after lots of use. got to love the Makita tools. For a Powerful and portable wire free die grinder, look no further. 5 stars

great bit of kit, not something you will use all the time but handy to have,can also get an adapter for these to take grinding disks,for that time a normal grinder wont fit in a space

Good product but batteries run out quickly

overall a good piece of kit, pair it with some good quality die grinder bits (dormer) and you'll be removing material at a nice rate... my only downside would be the diameter of the main/lower grip...its rather thicc...im 6'5 with hands to suit and it just feels a tad awkward to hold. Edit: Reading another review has reminded me of another quirk...no speed control...well...you do have two speed options...'off' and 'this thing is going to reverse the worlds rotation if it carries on'...not an issue for die grinding bits, but if you plan on using wire wheels...take cover

There is no speed control button, it turns on immediately at high speeds.

This is one of those tools you don't think you'll need till you buy one. Glad I did.It's so versatile. It's great for heavy duty hobby work and vehicle bodywork, It's great for finishing off welds and other metal and stone grinding jobs. Well worth having in your cordless collectionHighly recommended.

Instruction book says it will take a 1/4” shank as does the web descriptionWell it does but it is a pig to fit which was annoying as l needed a particular die which was a quality die of 1/4”So no more 1/4” dies will be orderedNo variable speed control on the tool which is a bit limiting and doesn’t appear to have a soft startIt can be pretty vicious when working on steel and really should come with a handle

Good
