Can bring this out to the field and maintain equipement. Great runtime on a 5.0 battery, very powerful. Awesome for cutting some metal in the scrap pile for farm projects as well.

Wish the grider had variable speed. Its either on or off.

Excellent power for a battery powered grinder

My husband loves it.
Kathryne Jaskolski (verified owner) –
This drill is a beast! Plenty of power and torque. You’ll want bigger batteries for it, I run 8s and 9s in it, very impressed.

i use grinders at least 2 hrs every day. this grinder has plenty of power. it just feels a little clunky. not ergonomic. and i hate the paddle switch. i wish they would have a regular trigger. Also the guard for some reason only has a couple positions it goes in and the position i like the most wasn’t even an option so i had to cut the little stopper off the guard or just take it off completely. i just wish we lived in a world where engineers actually used tools.

Was light and easy to get in tight places
Garrett Walker (verified owner) –
Good grinder, easier to use without the guard
Jerrold Thiel (verified owner) –
Has a lot of power when you put it to work! Well built and like the easy movable guard.

Very high quality. I bought it for my husband for Christmas, and he is very happy with the performance and durability of the tool

I needed a small footprint tool to cut bolts inside a 4″ wall. Not only did it work it didn’t even use 1/2 charge on 3 ah battery. There were 4 1/2″ bolts.

In all fairness, I feel obliged to update my initial review and give credit where credit is due. Initially, I rated this one star, not because because of the tool itself (*****/excellent) but because of difficulty involved in finding a 4.5 inch safety guard for it. Forget about parts retailers…They boast about their “huge inventories” yet none of them had the part I needed online. Keep in mind that this is a common part for the latest version of the tool. Well, I called one retailer and fortunately, was shifted directly to Milwaukee. They were able to locate the part and send it to me, free of charge, no less (OK, in a little less than two weeks but no rush, no big deal). I will reiterate, however, that dealing with the various retailers was a dead end and a total waste of time. Looks like their websites and inventories are not up-to-date. Dealing directly with Milwaukee, on the other hand, was a breeze.

Another of Milwaukees great tools, great for every day use on jobs that require only a few minutes of grinding here and there, battery holds up great.
Cortez Abbott (verified owner) –
I have multiple Milwaukee tools and they all work great
Timothy Leffler (verified owner) –
Fine for easy detail. Easy one handed use.
Katherine Hills (verified owner) –
It’s a Milwaukee drill it doesn’t get better than that
Chesley Gutmann (verified owner) –
very well balanced and stable. vibration is well regulated. even the noise level is lower compared to my corded ones. the guard can be rotated on the fly, very smart! only wish the big red could come up with a quick release mechanism like the oscillating tool. kinda expensive for what it is. but it is the big red. so suck it up and get used to it, I guess. no more cords to worry about, a major plus for a thing like this. nice!
