Works perfect, but only for light duty use. The motor is fairly easy to stall and not meant for large material removal. It does well at removing rust and removing gasket material from cylinder heads and engine blocks. Maybe it would be better if the gear reduction was re-geared for heavy duty use.

I’m very happy with the quality and the shipping experience was smooth as could be.

It just shuts down at times. Not excellent, just good.

Works as described if no air compressor is around you. Limitations eats 2.0 batteries

Requires 2 wrenches to change tool (both included). Could add a lock-shaft button in the tool to make only 1 wrench necessary

This thing has big balls. I also have the 18volt version and this 12 volt model has become my man tool for grinding.

Great tool, enough power to get the job done. I won’t be needing an air die grinder this one does everything I need.

In researching so many offering by so many brands it is often difficult to get all the detail one needs to make an informed purchase. That was the case here for me. This tool is good, but… there is no shaft lock so not only do you need a wrench to tighten the collet, you need TWO wrenches, 1/2″ and 11/16″. They are provided but note they are never shown in the pictures. Second, the multi speed is NOT trigger controlled variable speed. It is a separate selector. Not the best for having full power and control like if it were variable. Oh, well… I guess these details might be buried in other reviews but I thought I’d post them for others to see.

Great experience with online ordering and delivery. Fantastic tool!

This is a great product that is a good size and easy to use. I used the tool to grind down nails sticking out of a concrete foundation and it worked great. The only to thing is that you will need to buy bits since none came with the tool.

Did its job in shaving some metal piece… a little under power when applying pressure, adapting to it limitations…

Great die grinder! Works well with plenty of power coming from the 12v. Batterys last quite a long time, I went thru a 4.0 and a 2.0 cutting off a lug nut on a pick up truck that took about 2hrs trying not to damage the rim. I definitely recommend!

This die grinder is not meant for industrial 8 hours of grinding.I am an advanced hobbiest, and like the M12 collection because they work great for short periods of time. no cord, no hassle. Sometimes it take 2 batteries to get my job done. I have 6, so its ok. die grinder is great for cleaning up welds, deburring, and carving Lexan Great job, hit the mark.

Works well,good amount of torque for battery operated. It’s larger than air die grinders so provides better hand control
