You can’t go wrong with Milwaukee tools. Powerful, long lasting battery and the build quality is unmatched.

Replaced an older NiCad DeWalt grinder with this one. Have only used it a couple of times but it has way more power and battery life (5.0 ah) than the old one.

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.

Typical M18 quality (very good), but the head of the grinder is too large as well as the guard, so it limits the usability of the tool.

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.

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.

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.
