Makita XGT 40V Earth Auger

Additional information

With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 40V max XGT® Brushless Earth Auger (GGD01) is a welcome solution for landscapers. The earth auger delivers the power of a 36cc gas earth auger, digging even and consistent holes. It is ideal for post-hole digging, fence installation, large planting jobs, soil sampling, and construction projects.

The GGD01 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.

Other features include built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area, Automatic Speed Change to adjust drill speed and torque during drilling, and a torque limiter, which is a built-in clutch that reduces gear damage by disengaging gears if the bit binds.

The earth auger features Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) to provide increased dust and water resistance in harsh job site conditions.

XGT is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40V max lithium-ion batteries. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
