I really like this grinder. Was a little disappointed did not already have a disc for it, but since you use this for so many different things can see why now. After I got it home and put it together was well pleased. the handle fits either side, so great for different jobs and attacking from different angles. Went back to the HD couple of days later , got be couple of disc and even some wire brushes. Very pleased.

This grinder arrived well packaged and undamaged. Inside was the grinder, battery, charger, grinding guard, a locking tool, cushioned handle, and a nice canvas tool bag. First impression: SOLID & BEEFY! This tool is heavy duty and will grind anything you need. The auto stop works great. It is easy to change grinding wheels and with the large capacity battery, this tool can go for hours. The battery charged to full capacity in about 30 minutes. Quality is top notch. The only detractor is the weight. It is a two handed tool. Continued one handed operation is not possible unless you’re the hulk. Highly recommended.

Excellent kit. I love how it came in the heavy duty Milwaukee bag. Everything fits perfectly with room to spare for another tool. it comes with TWO XC6.0 batteries which is awesome. 6.0 will last you a long time compared to the 3.0s. The battery indicator is a great option to have. The attachable grip is very grip-y and helps stabilize everything. The touch and feel of everything is great and feels heavy duty. I love how strong it is and can see it being as strong as a corded one. I love Milwaukee and have over 15 hand and power tools, the oldest power tool being 14 years old and still working like day one!

Tons of power for a cordless tool, make sure to use a high output battery as this is definitely power hungry. Braking with a 6” blade in under 3 seconds is incredible, my old corded model would spin for a while after turning it off, nice safety features for a good price!

I’ve owned the smaller version of this grinder and absolutely love it. My only concern with it was the restriction of being limited to 4-1/2 inch blades. This grinder is a terrific flexible solution. Then they include an incredibly powerful battery upgrade as well. I love this tool. The battery will let you use this grinder all day long as I have done so on a paver project. Simply holding it, you will know it is quality throughout. Changing the blade takes less than a minute. Guard adjusting is even quicker. The 6.0 Ah battery is plenty of power for any project .Excellent instructions. Includes heavy canvas bag with plenty of extra room. Highly recommend.

I own quite a few Milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and am very pleased with their performance / quality . I work often at my off grid property and enjoy not having to start a generator . I bought this grinder after being impressed by my 4 1/2″ Milwaukee grinder that will run for an acceptable amount of time on a 5Ah battery . The 4 1/2-6″ grinder does not . The first time I used it with a 6″ cutoff disc it lasted only a few minutes and I was not loading it excessively . I tried a 9 Ah battery and didn’t last much longer , maybe 4 mins max. I had great expectations for this tool when I bought it but I am very disappointed with it’s battery life or lack thereof .

Wow! This grinder is a beast. I will say using a cutting wheel XC5.0 was okay, however grinding wheel different story. Using a HD 8.0 or 12.0 rock on. I love the braking system this device has. The weight versus the smaller grinder is not bad at all. I would definitely purchase another one. I urge you to purchase one.

Fast, powerful, and I love the braking feature. I only wish the 6” size had more support from the disc manufacturers.

Plentyof power. Definitely eats batteries quick when geinding though.

This is a powerful unit that makes cutting and grinding of metals as easy as cutting cheese. So much faster and easier than a hacksaw. And much more convenient than a corded grinder that restricts your use in areas without standard electricity. Can use 4-1/2 thru 6-inch accessories’ that are not included with this kit so you can purchase just what items are best suited for your needs. And no tools are required as this unit has a FIXTEC nut and tool-free guard adjustment so you have barely any downtime if needing to switch out different accessories. This Grinder with Paddle Switch has an extremely fast stopping brake of about 3 seconds that works perfectly. Nice handle that attaches and detaches from the body of the tool. And the 6.0 ah battery is unmatched in my opinion of other brands I have tried. Not to mention you can use this battery with almost any of the other Milwaukee power tools which I have quite a few and extremely satisfied with each and every one. And this kit has also a heavy-duty carrying bag with the Milwaukee logo a very nice part of this fantastic kit which I simple love and recommend as an exceptional cordless tool. I love it the more I get to use it. This is one of the best grinders on the market in my opinion and I think anyone using this Milwaukee tool will agree.

The grinder has plenty of power, the balance is nice and the switch is much improved over the older models. The braking feature is also nice so you can put the grinder down sooner after you get done grinding. As always,another home run for Milwaukee.

This is a powerful grinder. And it definitely has a noticeable, yet modest power and rpm increase over the tried and true 5″ fuel grinder. There are a couple minor things that i noticed right away which i don’t like. One issue is the supplied retaining nut. it’s kind of a silly thing with a flip out tab which, I guess, is supposed to help you tighten it. unfortunately, that means the nut can only be used on way, and it doesn’t have any centering profile to help center the thicker grinding wheels. AND you still need grab the edges of the grinding disk to get enough leverage to torque the nut (or loosen it) anyway, so what use is that little tab? Fortunately that issue is easily rectified by just replacing it with a proper one from the fuel 5″ grinder. The other perplexing new design is the way the guard is retained and adjusted. It seems to work fine, but when the guard is removed it still leaves behind a floppy loose piece of metal, and spring. The old design worked just fine, and left no loose metal or springs on the grinder when removed like this new one. while these are very minor issues, their existence is confusing nonetheless. overall this appears to be a good quality and powerful grinder.

This angle grinder is just another example of quality power tools made by Milwaukee. It really does have power equal to its corded version. First thoughts on the angle grinder is that it is high quality and will be able to handle what you throw at. After using it a few times I can already tell that it is up to any task you need it to handle.Let me go into a few of the specs and features behind this angle grinder. First it can take discs from 4 1/2″ to 6″. Second it uses the Rapid Stop brake so all discs you use will stop in under 3 seconds. Specifically you cutting disc in 1.5 seconds, flap disc in 2 seconds and grinding disc in 2.5 seconds. The angle grinder uses a paddle switch with safety trigger built in to the paddle switch. There is no lock so you will have to hold the paddle switch during your entire use but that is another nice safety feature. The angle grinder also feature overload protection which is super nice so you don’t have to worry about wrecking your expensive investment. It also comes with an anti-vibration handle that does an excellent job.Some of the other features on this angle grinder that i really love are the tool free changes you can make to your setup. Change discs can be done tool free just need to use the lock nut that comes with the grinder as it has a tab on it to assist in loosening and tightening the disc in place. You also get a guard that can be changed tool free. The guard can also be completely removed tool free if you desire. The guard will lock in place in common guard placement positions. Additionally the anti-vibration secondary handle can be put on either side of the angle grinder without the use of a tool.Now let me cover the feel and weight of the angle grinder. The angle grinder is well balanced when using the 6.0 AH battery provided. I highly recommend that when using this grinder always go with the 6.0 battery. I tried a 12, 9, 6, 5, and 2 in the grinder and found the 6 to be the best balance. The 12 and 9 made the grinder back heavy, while the 5 and 2 made the grinder a little front heavy. With the 6.0 in place the grinder is super comfortable to hold and easy to use.Overall the performance of the grinder was pretty impressive. I used it to cut through a various metals and tiles and had no issues with it at all. The grinder easily handled rebar and porcelain tiles. The grinding was very easy and could get through whatever I needed it to do. I also used it to sand some wood and it really could eat through the wood.The other items included with this kit such as the contractor bag and rapid charger also make this a great set to get. Both are super nice to have especially the rapid charger with the 6.0 AH batteries.Overall I highly recommend this angle grinder.

Not only is this high capacity grinder awesome but as powerful as any corded grinder. It works perfect cutting steel, welding prep, and metal studs. The grinder does not heat up when in use, the side handle has an anti vibration system, and a built in tool free guard adjustment, no more screw drivers for adjustments. The high output XC6.0 battery comes with a rapid charger, a real plus. This grinder is durable and seems to be built to last. In my opinion the M18-tools are the best for every trade, I have many and use them all.

This tool is probably as reliable and tough as the other Milwaukee tools I own. There is NO 6″ cutting wheel guard (Type 1). I called Milwaukee customer service and confirmed that they don’t have one for this. They expect you to put a 6″ cutting wheel on a grinder with just a type 27 guard and violate OSHA rules. What happened to being all about the professionals. This is not what I expected from Milwaukee. If you plan to cut metal buy the 4.5/5″ or the 7/9″ model as there is a type 1 guard available for these.
