I use this grinder at work, does require high output batteries for extensive grinding or cutting! Well worth the purchase

So I got this grinder as part of a bundle that had to get shipped. At first I was like well ok it’s an angle grinder. I’ve only used it a few times but it’s saved my behind quite a few times. Being able to switch from standard grinding angle to cutting angle with no tools needed it saves time making my project go faster. It’s light weight and cordless, it seems as if it doesn’t have enough power to do anything, then you use it and it does it’s job exactly.

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.

he used this product just for what he had in mind and the operation and practicality is incredible

Just like other Milwaukee tools, this is a great tool.

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

You would swear this thing was plugged into a wall outlet

Needed to cut out the bottom of a cabinet and this did the job perfectly. No issues with the motor binding up and putting the wheels in was really simple. It is comfortable to use as well. It runs through batteries fairly fast, but that is the case with all grinders I’ve used so far.

Cordless and powerful. You find all new reasons and places you use it over a corded or air powered grinder. The battery on the end isn’t as annoying as you’d think. I was reluctant to purchase one but I have multiple other Milwaukee tools which haven’t disappointed. Only weird part was the paddle switch it has to be all the way pressed in to start it which can be a little confusing at first. Over all good quality, powerful and useful same with all other Milwaukee products

Kariane Bailey (verified owner) –

Joannie Orn (verified owner) –
Amazing, we used it to cut down an old fence line that was on our farm. I would defiantly recommend.
Rex Kozey (verified owner) –
i use this almost daily,i can be in the shop or on the road.no cords or having to start a generator at a site is great and efficiant. the only thing i would change is a quick change for discs

I use to cut cast Iron piping while removing plumbing. it is a better alternative to a sawzall. I like the over all compact size to get into smaller areas. i would like the tool to run a higher RPM and with more torque. Over all a good tool.

Love this grinder. After owning the smaller version and having issues with it, I decided to move up to this one. It’s far more powerful, there’s less vibration, the vents have steel mesh to keep out debris, and you can actually lean on it a bit.

It gets the job done

Cutting porcela tiles for floor and grinding some wooden stairs going on the basement.Pretty much would do anything you need it for.
