The m18 Fuel grinder is awesome! Great battery life. I have used the 5.0Ah and 4.0Ah m18 batteries for grinding metal, buffing/sanding metal and wire wheeling metal for multiple projects. Guard is easily adjusted for application. Handle allows for more grip and is easily swapped from side to side. This grinder is great.

My first time buying this tool and it works very good. I got the job done efficiently.
Kamryn Weissnat (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!

I use this product every day in an industrial maintenance setting. It is a huge upgrade over the previous generation. I’ll be honest, I believe nothing beats a corded grinder, but this is as close as it gets.
