DG002G is powered by Makita’s 40V Max XGT technology and features a powerful brushless motor, which provides 1.35k - W of power allowing you to get through the toughest drilling jobs. Featuring 2 speeds, the DG002G provides the versatility to drill into a variety of materials, with a maximum drilling capability of 200mm in soft material (sand and soil) and 150mm in heavy material (stone mixed soil). The auger handle allows the user to have maximum control whilst drilling and the reverse switch makes removal of the auger quick and easy. - Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) allows it to be used throughout the day in a majority of conditions. Auger attachments connect directly onto the spindle with no need to tighten keyless chuck. - Product Overview - Direct Bit Connection – no need to tighten keyed chuck, bits connect directly onto spindle with locking pin. Torque Limiter – provides added safety in the event of the auger hitting solid material Mechanical 2 Speed – allows the user to optimise the speed for the job at hand by matching the accurate speed to the material being worked in. - Earth Auger Handle – provides better control whilst digging, includes a side bar which rests against the user’s leg to minimise the amount of kickback, making it easier to drill holes. Reverse Mode – allows for easy extraction from material if the auger becomes jammed or stuck. XPT (Extreme Protection Technology) – a series of protective seals inside the tool designed to provide improve resistance to water and dust by diverting it away from the tool’s key internal components. High Power Output – the high power 40V Max XGT Li-Ion battery allows for continuous operation in heavy-duty applications providing 1.35k - W of max power output.
