With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance, the 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Earth Auger (XGD01Z, tool only) 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 brushless motor delivers power equivalent to a 36cc gas earth auger. The XGD01Z 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 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.
It′s part of ′s expanding 18V LXT System, the world′s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. 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.
For improved tool performance and extended battery life, created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
Tool users who unplug the cord with 18V LXT experience new levels of convenience, efficiency and productivity. Created the 18V Lithium-Ion cordless tool category in 2005, and today it is the world′s largest 18V cordless tool line-up. ′s leading technology gives tool users unmatched performance and breadth of line, with innovation in motor and battery technology that is obliterating industry standards – and leaving old thinking behind. With high amp-hour batteries, efficient brushed and brushless motors, and 36V (18V X2) LXT technology, 18V LXT tools not only meet corded demands, they can exceed the performance of corded, all while remaining in a single cordless platform powered by the industry′s fastest-charging 18V lithium-ion batteries.
Cordless tools are engineered for industrial applications, and for added protection during the most demanding jobs created STAR Protection Computer Controls. STAR is communications technology that monitors conditions during use, allowing the tool and battery to exchange data to protect against overloading, overdischarging and overheating. If STAR detects conditions that threaten to overload, overdischarge or overheat the tool or battery, the tool will automatically stop. At that time the user can either restart the tool, change or charge the battery, and put the tool back to work. When you slide a 18V LXT battery with the STAR symbol onto a tool that has either the STAR symbol or a yellow terminal, you are benefitting from STAR Protection Computer Controls.
When the job takes your tool into harsh conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) provides added protection. XPT is a series of integrated seals engineered to channel away dust and water for increased durability. Wherever the job takes you, tools equipped with XPT are engineered for increased durability and longer tool life.
