The Makita DDG460ZX7 is a powerful dual-battery (36V) cordless earth auger designed for high-performance ground drilling in landscaping, agriculture, fencing, and construction tasks. Powered by two 18V LXT Li-ion batteries, it delivers the power of a petrol auger with the efficiency and convenience of cordless operation—without emissions, fuel, or heavy maintenance.

Safety features include an auto-torque drive, kickback detection, and soft start for controlled operation. Its ergonomic handle design and built-in LED work light ensure comfort and visibility even during extended or low-light tasks.
