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.

Very high quality. I bought it for my husband for Christmas, and he is very happy with the performance and durability of the tool

Amazing, we used it to cut down an old fence line that was on our farm. I would defiantly recommend.

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.

Sure is nice to use the grinder with no cord to get in the way.

I have several M18 Fuel tools and love them. So I figured this would be a good choice to grind the concrete floor of my basement before painting it. And in many ways, it was. The tool is well-balanced, and has plenty of power to do the job. My floor looks great (so great in fact, we decided to leave it unpainted).However….it burns through batteries like crazy. I have four batteries and two chargers, so I figured that would be enough to let me work a couple of hours at a time. Wrong. Using this unit (more or less) continuously, it’s important to not fully discharge the batteries, or they will overheat. Using a diamond cup wheel, a 5 amp-hour battery runs down to one bar in several minutes of (more or less) continuous use. Now I have to stop, take off my PPE (a must for concrete grinding), walk over to the charger, check to see if I need to swap anything into the chargers, and finally change the battery.By the time I run down the 4th battery, the first one will be just about recharged (if I make sure not to run it down too far). Net: I get about 30 minutes of actual grinding time before I have to stop.To summarize: Nice unit, but next time I buy corded for this type of application.

Good grinder, easier to use without the guard

Very good grinder. Nice to use where ever you need to without having to drag a cord. The only thing is it’s hard on batteries when using the 9 inch wheels. Wire brushes, and the 7 inch wheels are not a problem. Don’t use anything under the 6 amp, or you will swap out batteries fast.

I have grown to love these grinders. This is the third one I’ve bought. (I have one for each type of grinding wheel I use). You still can’t lean into these things like a corded grinder, but for cut off wheels and grinding disc’s, they’re great. I get about 20 minutes of grinding out of a 5.0AH battery. I am a professional metal worker, so mine get used all the time.

Very useful tool lightweight and compact.

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.
