Makita has a new brushless angle grinder

Excellent new tool from Makita!! I've owned the old model for years and never really used it much because it lacked power and would stall so easy.. it looks like they really addressed those problems in the new model.

Great review!

Anyone have the ability to put it head to head with the Milwaukee fuel??

I did a super quick, by no means detailed or accurate test but the results are very clear.

My old Makita BGA452 vs my new XAG03

2 fresh off the charger batteries

2 minutes on the clock

1 3/8 galvanized pipe about 3/32 wall thickness

the BGA452 made 5 cuts (I tried to push it as hard as I could without stalling, did stall once) 2/3 bars of battery remaining after the 2 minutes

the XAG03 made 8 cuts and never even came close to stalling 3/3 bars of battery remaining after the 2 minutes

60% faster!!

Again this was a very crude test but I was stoked by the results and thought I'd share
