Lucky you only had 1 left. Love it because I just purchased 2 6.0 batteries and this came in handy for recharging. As you know the project has to go on, so when 1 battery runs out there's always a backup. Will probably get another one sometime this year.

Perfection in charging

Good charger for multiple batteries.

Hi all. Just got this Dual Charger from Home Depot. Mine works good. Both Charger Slots operate Independently. Only complaint is, Fan is a little noisy when charging 2 at the same time.

Awesome! I was very leery about a battery operated grinder but, this thing has power. I bought 2 because my first one got stolen, and I use it enough that I needed another.

Durable and fast charged battery

Charges amazing fast!

I have now had this 7" grinder for approximately six months. In first looking at the description you may think this is just an 18 volt 7" grinder, but read on, it's two 18 volt batteries combined to equal 36 volts. Grab hold this tool is approx. 10 plus pounds including the two batteries and has a lot of torque. This is a high tech tool from the batteries, dual port (fan cooled) charger and the electronically-controlled brushless motor. It is also muti.- functional, it will except everything from a 1/16" cut off wheel, 1/4" grinding wheel, abrasive disk, wire wheel or wire cup brush or a diamond (wet/dry) cut off wheel. The kit comes with a thin cut off wheel and a grinding wheel. As a bonus, Makita (A big Thank You) sent a 7" (wet/dry) segmented diamond cutting blade, which I have used most of all. In the last six months I have installed over 100- 16" x 16" x 2" paver blocks and approx. 40- 20" x 20" x 2" patio blocks. I can't say how many lineal feet I have cut, but the blade seems to be cutting the same as the very first cut. The included carrying case is a welcome and needed feature too. While it holds the 10 plus components that come with the tool there is plenty of room for additional items or accessories. A little trick I have learned is to make copies of the owners manuals and put them in a sealed freezer bag in the case. If you are in the trades, at least get a copy of the owners manual and read thru it, you will see all the options, to many to list, this tool has. And then you will want one, but not mine.

Great power, battery lasts, love the ergonomics and the brushless grinder.

this thing is no joke, it isnt small or lightweight so it doesn't take the place of a 4 1/2 to 5" grinder but when the extra power and larger blade are needed this one is beyond what i expected from a cordless. the brake is awesome, usually takes less than 2 seconds to stop. i put a lenox metal max on it and nothing stands in my way. if you wNt a large grinder and dont want a cord you have found the right one. cant beat yhe deal going on right now, 4- 5.0 ah batteries dual charger grinder and bag for 399.00, best deal ive got in a long time. great job home depot

I have been using cordless power tools for years. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I used a corded tool (think it was my Dremel)? The problem with cordless, is the battery and charger graveyard. Every couple years, the 12V model, gets replaced by the 18V model, which gets replaced by the 19.2V model, replaced by the 40V model, etc. So, it was nice to see Makita increasing the capabilities, by doubling the battery and not coming out with a new battery/charger. This comes with 2 batteries, and is 'compatible with Makita 18V lithium-ion batteries with a star symbol'. My test run was on my basement floor. Years ago, someone cemented the floor and put in a sump. Problem is, the sump is centered on a wall, which is not the lowest spot in the basement. As the basement fills with water, the water goes around the sump to the other side of the basement. I figured, by cutting a small groove in the floor, I can gutter the water to the sump, and keep half my basement dry, and the other half shallower. This grinder did the job so quickly, I barley drained the battery. A grinder, is an ideal thing to be cordless, but this does weigh a lot (12.57 pounds with batteries), and based on how powerful it is, I would consider the 2 battery model Professional Grade. This is my first Makita power tool, and I am very impressed. I definitely will be adding more Makita 18V's to my collection.

Works awsome

Easy to use, powers batteries in great time. Excellent equipment...

Finally batteries charged & able to keep up with my work demand !!

Had a single port charger but now when one battery dies the other two are ready to go.excellent investment saves your batteries life span also.

I purchased this for my son. He loves it. More bang for your buck

works great. now I don't have to weight for a battery.

Charger is excellent and recharges quick Pair this with the 5.0 amp batteries and your set

Charger works great, its nice to be able to charge 2 battery's at the same time

OK, I bought this one verses the single charger that comes with most Makita tools. It quickly charges my 4.0Ah LXT batteries in about 30 minutes or less. I have yet to run out of power or yet have to wait for a battery to be charged. All the indicator lights are very helpful. Also the cooling fans are a big plus so that the batteries stay at a good optimal temperatur. All and all I'm very pleased with this product.

Great tool saves time easy to use I am very glad I got it
