This is a great addition to my Milwaukee collection. It makes the big grinding jobs seem small. The tool will accept either a 7″ or a 9″ grinding wheel, not included with the kit. The guard has a spring loaded adjustment mechanism for quick and easy adjustments. It has a trigger guard so you don’t accidentally pull the trigger when you don’t want to. The 12 Ah M18 battery lasts a long time. Very nice!

I haven’t used any of the other full sized battery powered girders out there but I can say with certainty, this one is a beast.The Grinder is well balanced, the grip is comfortable, and the quick change make a convenient tool even more convenient. The dust screen was easy to remove and clean. The trigger lock is easy to operate but still prevents accidental pulls. All and all its a good design.I ground about an 1inch off of a sidewalk slab and a 1/3inch off a second. It cruised maintaining a good speed even with a heavy wheel and a heavy load. For both lips I ended up using about a half a battery. The brake which wasn’t even advertised is great. It slowed a wheel in seconds that on my old grinder that would have spun dangerously for days.If you were in a shop all day with a cord this is probably a little pricey but for my needs and considering I wanted the battery, it’s perfect. I have to admit that right after I ordered it I though do I really need to spend the cash on this…? After taking it for a test spin the buyers remorse was obliterated as thoroughly as the cement I was grinding.

Very manageable to use in the field, great tool!!!

Use it to sharpen heavy duty mower blades so much better than old heavy corded hand grinder.

I have been using this polisher for cleaning up paint finishes on my cars. The lack of a cord has made the job so much easier. Should have gotten one sooner.

Installing brick lintels and cutting brick. The 9” blade allows effortless deep cuts.

I have a solid 12hrs of use on this grinder so far and I’m impressed with it. That said it is worth it to buy at least the 6Ah batteries or pick the kit version of this up. I chew through a 6.0 in about 20-30min of use with the grinder. 5.0 10-25min haven’t tried it on anything smaller yet. The super charger is also a worthy must in the long run to keep up battery charge with usage

A large angle grinder and improved 12 ampere-hour battery pack that work together for extended cordless operation comparable to 15 amp corded performance. Integrated design combines a powerful brushless motor with circuitry that enhances performance, protects the motor from overheating, and the battery pack from over discharge. The M18 REDLITHIUM High Output HD12.0 battery pack delivers more power and runs cooler during heavy use than the predecessor. Engineered with quality and attention to detail throughout. Metal housing and gears for durability. Dual action trigger for safety. Vibration-absorbing side handle. FIXTEC quick locking flange nut replaces standard M14 flange to enable fast tool-free disc changing. This kit includes the grinder, battery pack, charger, accessories, and carrying bag. All in all, this is an impressive addition to the M18 Fuel series. Extended cordless operation is a great advantage on the work site. Freedom from the power cord is safer and more convenient. Performance has been excellent during hot weather with a new battery pack. Cold weather is tougher on batteries. Manufacturer states that the battery pack provides increased power in extreme cold weather, a claim that I plan to test this winter. Warranty is 5 years on grinder, 3 years on battery pack. Recommended for performance, durability, and usability. Made in Olive Branch, Mississippi, USA.

This thing eats, metal, concrete, it don’t matter, buttt you can’t make a battery big enough for this thing. But the amount of work this thing can get done in a short amount of time is awesome. 8’ cut in a slab with a diamond blade will almost use 2-6ah HO

This is a very impressive grinder. I never really thought that a battery powered grinder can have this much strength and cutting capabilities. it cuts through anything metal like butter also depends on the type of blades that you use. But it never stalls on me no matter how hard I push it against metal.

I use it 4 everything from cutting concrete to sanding wood. Extremely powerful and convenient. The gaurd a little tricky but not terrible

Mostly used with a 7” grind disk, and has lots of power. Comfort and balance is good. The guard is larger then I like, but it works. Bottom line is it’s a great tool.

Nice power battery lasts great for cutting and grinding planning on cutting some massonary with it on occasion

I just recently received my Milwaukee M18 7-9″ Brushless and Cordless Grinder Kit but have not put many hours on it. What I have done shows this grinder is just as strong as any corded grinder I’ve used and more versatile than any pneumatic. The main purpose of this is to build and maintain my and the son’s short track drifter. This not only will cut tubing but smooth welds. Yes we usually use a metal chop saw for the tubing but most angles need a touch to fit just right or some weird grinds and this makes getting those down to a breeze. Then welding them down and smoothing those welds where its necessary. All this with no hose or electrical cord to connect to, move or trip over.Plus having many Milwaukee M18 tools, needing a freshly charged battery is always on hand.You will have more trouble finding grinding, cut-off and polishing wheels for this than your 4 1/2″ models so I ordered some while waiting for the tool to arrive. I also ordered a masonry grinding head. I have a couple areas in some sidewalks that have lifted and cracked because of roots so know I’ll be able to grind down the peaks, open the cracks and pour in some liquid sealant. The new FIXTEC quick change locking flange nut save time swapping out discs. Of course this isn’t used on all occasions so you are given a spanner wrench to tighten for things say if you were to pit in a big wire wheel. It comes with the screw in side handle for safety as this can put out some torque.The only thing I can say is that the selection of large discs needs to improve so this can do everything you can do with a 4 1/2″ grinder while keeping the larger surface and cutting area. Big bonus to us people who pour concrete from time to time. This goes through re bar quick! No getting out the torch or killing yourself with the recip saw. Another great innovative tool from Milwaukee!

I work a bit of all construction, and landscaping, with my father. He switched to Milwaukee a few years ago, and I quickly followed after seeing how durable-and incredibly handy, the M18 Fuel series is. I would have to say the Oscillating tool, and the rotary sander, have been the most used tools in not-expected situations. And like the rest of the collection, they are valuable to have in any kit.

I love Milwaukee tools. Great quality for the Professionals and back up the product they way they should. I have both grinders (5” and 7”/9”) both have their applications but both are a necessity in anyone’s tool box!!

I liked it a lot. The only problem is that the battery keeps getting hot, and it turns off the grinder. It is best to use the12.0. I bought it to remove paint on a cement roof.
