I use it for cutting rebar and for misc work around our shop, it’s extremely durable and does everything I need it to.

This was my first battery powered grinder. Its a different animal from corded units. It is really torquey in the low end and dosen’t seem to spin up as fast. I like the torque but seem to chew up discs/wheels faster. I do like the tool but kinda need to relearn or get use to it. My only complaint is probably my own user error

No complaints. Works as it should. I bought two of them.

Use mainly with Zip disks. Grinder is great the on off switch and lock can be annoying withe gloves on. A good old trigger with no lock would make the grinder more glove friendly.

Paddle switch takes a second to get used to, but once you use it you won’t want to put it down.

Used this grinder with a metal cut off blade to cut iron balusters for an updated staircase. It really did the job well.

Works like a champ! I use this a lot and it keeps up with the workload! The quick brake is a must! Stops before I can put it down and I can keep working instead 9f waiting for the tool to stop.

I have zero complaints about this tool. I had a base model that didn’t fair well I. I cooked it using high demand batteries in it.

Haven’t had the chance to work it hard. Just been cutting some ceramic tile for install. Works great for this light duty application.

It runs snooth, works a long time on my 9ah batteries. It may not be safe for me to use another grinder now because I’ve become used to letting off the paddle and immediately setting it down because it stops so fast! My favorite part though is the tooless disk fastening. It’s fast, easy, even with gloves, and hold my disks in place firmly. Buy it, you won’t regret it!

After using Makita 18 v for years and having to carry back up corded grinder to finish jobs where the Makita would just bog or overheat the battery, I am blown away by the power of the the Milwaukee. It’s pretty battery hungary, but paired up with High Output 12h M18 battery, no matter how much I put pressure and tried to bog it, it never stopped once ! Very impressed !

So i never picked up a batt powered grinder before this because lets be honest theres no way it could have the same power. Well i was wrong. This thing has got some real power to it. Plus its lighter than corded ones without sacrificing quality. And hey dont forget it comes standard in that sexy red!!
