This replaced a standard cut, worth every dollar more for the FUEL model.
Angus Sanford (verified owner) –
I needed to cut bricks from a wall. Attached a masonry cut off wheel to grinder and in a matter of seconds the job was done.
Jaeden Donnelly (verified owner) –
Not bulky but enough room for 2 hands when the side handle gets in the way and still light enough to be operated one handed if need to all the power one could ask for in a battery operated grinder if you need more get a corded

Use at work and home. Comes in very handy for quick grinding applications.

The M18 FUEL line is the best out there in my opinion. I am a diesel mechanic and work on fuel trailers as well. I’m hard on my tools and I have a lot of this line in my tool box for the last 3 years and they take a beating everyday and keep taking a beating.

I’ve been using it to grind off rust bolt heads. Works great has a lot of power. With that being said a high output battery is needed and it only comes with a 5.0

added the diamond milwaukee cut off blade and it is best tool decision I have made
Pat Witting (verified owner) –
You can cut all day long with this tool!

Awesome grinder, I will be purchasing more! Only issue, it likes batteries get 12 amp
Alicia Predovic (verified owner) –
I purchased this grinder to replace my very old, no longer safe, corded grinder. It definitely feels like it has the same amount of power. I definitely don’t use this grinder as long and hard as it can handle so the battery life I see other all-day users mention is not an issue for me.
Brady Yundt (verified owner) –
I bought this grinder because I work Maintenance in a paper mill and sometimes we need to make a quick cut or grind something down to make a repair. I didn’t realize how much I needed this until I bought it! Battery life isn’t the greatest but I usually can cut a 10”-12” stainless pipe before having to change batteries
Flo Bahringer (verified owner) –
I used this angle grinder to cut 11g stainless steel plat with no problems.
Keaton Price (verified owner) –
You need a battery bigger than 6.0 amp hours, anything less and it will overheat or overtax the battery reducing run time to a few minutes or less. Lots of power, the guard is overkill I don’t even own any 6 inch discs will probably get a smaller guard if possible, but good nonetheless

Projects around the farm and house, it makes everything easier.
Kaylah Schuppe (verified owner) –
This grinder will do everything you ask of it! I have 2 of the 4 1/2″ and the 9″ grinder, I prefer this one. Great tool, just make sure you have batteries ready for it.
Samanta Crist (verified owner) –
Works like it should. Only came with the 6″ shield. If you want the smaller shield you have to order it.
Rowan Labadie (verified owner) –
I have this and I have the 7-9″ grinder as well. Together they make a great combo. The 4-1/2″ – 6″ grinder is great for all my general cutting and grinding but being a bit lighter its easier it use it overhead and in awkward positions. Plenty of power means I can push hard when grinding and the “Rapid Stop” break lets me put the grinding down and move to another tool quickly without having to wait for it to spin down.

Well this thing has been put trough everything and still goes I will most definitely buy another one if it breaks!
