Makita DDG460 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Earth Auger

The Makita DDG460 is a professional cordless earth auger that delivers the power of petrol with the convenience of battery operation. Part of the Makita LXT range, this 36v machine is powered by two 18v LXT batteries simultaneously, providing instant start-up with none of the maintenance hassles of petrol engines. The brushless motor ensures efficient, long-lasting performance.

Designed with operator safety and control as priorities, the DDG460 features a torque limiter to prevent violent kickback if the bit jams, plus soft start and electric brake functions for smooth, controlled operation.
