The first one I bought months ago did not work right, it kept stalling and smoking out of the box. I tried to “break” it in but no luck. No worries though Milwaukee has a great warranty. I paid nothing to send it back and I’m return got a brand new one sent to me. It works great! It is up to par with a corded grinder and nothing negative to say. Can be heavier though with a big 5amphr battery which you will need for medium or larger jobs.

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!

Metal cutting, grinding, dressing.Masonry cutting, and grinding. This grinder does it all with ease.

Has plenty of torque and battery time. Safety sometimes a little hard to turn if in a hurry.

Perform mechanical repairs on overhead cranes. During runway replacement these grinders receive hours of abuse in dusty, extreme temperature areas.

I love the M18 Fuel family of tools. This grinder is a great addition to my tools and “no more” dealing with extension cords.

Love it and glad I made the right choice, my only gripe is that there are too many options and it’s hard to tell what the differences are

Love not having a power cord. Has great power and with 5.0ah batteries last a while on it if not pushing too hard

I use this tool in multiple applications almost everyday and without fail it always gets the job at hand finished and without any complaints. The design and compact size of this tool is the best feature in my opinion.

This is a great great grinder. Plenty of power ( I was using a 5.0ah battery) adjustable and removable guard. I was able to put on cut off wheel and wire brush with ease. Another Milwaukee cordless tool I was glad i added to the toolbox
