What is included in the XAG11T kit?
The XAG11T includes the XAG11Z paddle-switch grinder, two BL1850B 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries, a DC18RC rapid charger, a wheel guard, a side handle, and a contractor tool bag. It is a ready-to-work bundle requiring no additional purchases.
Why does this kit include two batteries?
Two batteries let you keep one on the tool while the second charges, eliminating downtime during continuous-use applications. The included DC18RC rapid charger fully charges a BL1850B in approximately 45 minutes.
Does the XAG11T come with grinding or cut-off wheels?
The standard XAG11T kit focuses on the grinder body, batteries, charger, guard, and bag. Grinding and cut-off wheels are typically purchased separately depending on the application. Check current retail listings, as some bundles include an accessory wheel.
Is the paddle switch on the XAG11T OSHA compliant for angle grinders?
The paddle switch with no lock-on is the grinder configuration most commonly required by jobsite safety standards and is consistent with OSHA guidelines recommending dead-man-style switches on angle grinders. Always verify the specific requirements of your jobsite or safety officer.
How does the XAG11T compare to the XAG04T?
Both are 18V LXT brushless 4-1/2 in. / 5 in. kit grinders with two 5.0Ah batteries. The key difference is switch type: the XAG04T uses a slide switch with lock-on, while the XAG11T uses a paddle switch with no lock-on and adds an electric brake. The XAG11T is the safer option for most professional environments.
