I find it to be a little under powered, but it works great. Like the paddle trigger better. For the money there’s better out there. I’m a Milwaukee fan 90% of my electric tools are Milwaukee. All my battery powered tools are Milwaukee.

I use this tool for metal working. It has nice balance, and the weight can be changed depending on which battery size you choose. It is more efficient to get the job done because it is quicker without having to deal with cords. The slide switch is a bit difficult to latch on, but I have certain polishing abrasives which require the slide latch.

Nice and compact. Not too heavy. Best feature is the adjustable guard. Quick and easy to adjust out of the way to get the job done and give you the protection you need.

Its another item on the road to converting the entire plumbing truck to cordless. Ive had the grinder out of the truck a few times now, ranging from cutting thru ceramic tile to install a range hood (with the addition of the milwaukee portable wet/dry vac to control duct) or with a flap wheel to debur and sculpt aluminum channels where shower enclosures meet irregular tile. This grinder fits nicely in the tool bag with the impact driver and hammerdrill/driver that go on nearly every jobsite. My only request would be a variable speed option on the next version as I have on occasion a need to drill hard porcelain or stone tile and counters with a diamond end mill. They must run slow or with water cooling to survive. I’ll keep my eyes open for that model, our countertop division will buy one for each truck in a flash.

I really can’t say anything bad about milwaukee m 18 fuel tools I love them all. I do almost everything you can think of and I have burned up every other brand you can think of with in a year. But I have had a few milwaukee tools for about 5 years and they are still going strong. I just wish I could afford all the tools milwaukee has because I could get alot more done and expand my side jobs. But I do love them and I will forever be 100% milwaukee because they’re tools work perfect for every thing in general.

I have used this grinder to cut up miscellaneous pieces of items to dispose of but plan on using it later for cutting/grinding of wood and tile for future home projects. This tool works hard and is effective but eats through batteries quickly.
Viviane Fay (verified owner) –
I like the grinder just not the location of the lock on.
Bertram Williamson (verified owner) –
Good battery life and have had no problems cutting or grinding various items
Frida Emard (verified owner) –

We do remodeling and we use the grinder for cutting tile concrete metal and all kinds of things. This tool cuts it all and have not had any issues really good tool.
Maia Lowe (verified owner) –
Well built, sturdy and comfortable. Great power to it…a must have in your tool cart.
Pinkie Quitzon (verified owner) –
I use this to cut tile, grind bolts, and grind concrete. I love it it has plenty of power. I chose the slide switch over the paddle switch due to the fact its hard to cut tile while holding the paddle switch while switching hands and cutting at different angles.
Retta Lang (verified owner) –
In my line of work I would prefer the “paddle style” switch but I won’t run anything less than “fuel” the paddle on the non fuel grinder is a solid piece of plastic, the paddle on the fuel model is not, it has a cavity between itself and the tool, I work in dirt and mud and it tends to find any cavities it can so I’m kinda forced to use this kind, but I do wish they would produce a solid paddled fuel model
Ayla Friesen (verified owner) –
Absolutely amazing grinder! I can’t say enough good about this grinder
