Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Earth Auger Kit
Product Overview
The Makita 18V X2 (36V) LXT Earth Auger Kit is a cordless ground-drilling solution designed for making holes in soil without relying on a gasoline-powered engine or extension cord. It combines two 18V LXT batteries to produce a 36V power source and uses a brushless motor with Makita’s Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT) to adjust speed and torque according to the drilling load.
With two selectable speed ranges, reverse rotation, and a high-torque low-speed setting, the auger is suitable for a variety of ground-drilling tasks, including landscaping, planting, fencing, and other outdoor applications.
Key Features
18V X2 (36V) LXT System: Uses two 18V LXT batteries together to deliver 36V-class performance.
Brushless Motor: Provides efficient power delivery while eliminating carbon brushes for reduced maintenance.
Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT): Automatically adjusts speed and torque during operation to help maintain performance as the drilling load changes.
Two-Speed Mechanical Transmission: Offers 0–350 RPM in low range for high-torque drilling and 0–1,400 RPM in high range for faster applications.
High Torque Output: Produces up to 136 N·m (1,210 in-lbs.) of maximum torque in low speed.
Reverse Function: Allows the operator to reverse the auger when the bit becomes stuck in resistant ground such as clay.
Soft Start: Helps provide smoother start-ups and improved control.
Built-In Clutch: Helps protect the gear system by disengaging when the auger bit binds.
Electric Brake: Quickly stops the rotation after the trigger is released.
XPT Protection: Makita’s Extreme Protection Technology is designed to improve resistance to dust and water in demanding outdoor conditions.
Auger Bit Compatibility: An adapter allows the tool to accommodate auger bits commonly used with engine-powered earth augers.
Drilling Capacity
The DDG460 platform is rated for holes up to 200 mm (7-7/8 in.) in sandy soil and 150 mm (5-7/8 in.) in clay soil, depending on ground conditions and the selected auger bit. Makita reports approximately 155 holes at 150 mm diameter or 90 holes at 200 mm diameter under specified test conditions with two 6.0Ah batteries. Actual results vary with soil type, depth, bit selection, and operating conditions.

Why Choose the Makita Earth Auger?
The cordless design eliminates the need to mix fuel, manage an engine, or work around a power cord. The combination of 36V-class power, high torque, variable speed, reverse rotation, and ADT technology gives the operator greater control when drilling through changing soil conditions. Its battery-powered configuration also makes it practical for outdoor work where portability is important.
Note: Auger bits may be sold separately depending on the kit configuration. Battery and charger contents also vary by model and market, so verify the specific model number before purchase.
