The best battery opt grinder

It is a battery hog but meets heavy demand…..I would recommend using an 8.0 battery or bigger

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 4-1/2 in./6 in. Grinder with Paddle Switch Kit and (1) 6.0 Ah Battery. This has the power to cut through and grind everything I need it to and no dragging around extension cords that get in my way. If you are new to grinders the paddle switch that this has is considered safer than the slide lock switch because when you let go of the switch or drop the grinder the grinder stops. Where the slide lock switch stays on until you push it off or unplug it.

Just about as good as a corded grinder. I highly recommend it.

Milwaukee M18 Model 2980-20 angle grinder review. I already had a Milwaukee corded 4 ½” angle grinder (model 6141-30). When I got the chance to check out the brand new 2980-20, I jumped at it, because I’ve had great service out of the corded 6141.The new 2980-20 comes with two M18 high output 6 a/h batteries, but of course will work with any of the M18 batteries. Check out the photo below, I’ve got the newly released high output 3.0 installed (not included with the grinder kit) in the grinder along with a 4 ½” cutting wheel. Note that the 4 ½ guard doesn’t come with this kit; the kit comes with a 6” guard. You’ll not want to run a 4 ½” wheel with the 6” guard, it isn’t safe. Pick up a 4 ½” guard – they’re easy to swap in and out. The new 3.0 battery has no problems running the grinder, but of course the 6 a/h included batteries last much longer. The 3.0 battery does make for a lighter, smaller package especially when combined with a 4 ½” wheel and guard.This model is a “paddle / no lock” switch (see photo below); I like it better than the “slide switch / lock” grinders; I feel I have more control over the tool. YMMV.The wheels/guards don’t require a wrench for changing out, but one is included with the kit anyway (in case you get one snugged down so tightly you need a little help in getting it free, which I tend to do). There’s no onboard storage for the wrench and, of course, since this is a cordless tool there’s no cord wrap attachment on the tool either.A ‘rapid’ M18/M12 charger is included, and this does seem to slice off maybe 1/3 of the charging times the first generation M18 chargers required to top off a battery. Of course, I’m a DIY’er, not a pro, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever deplete both batteries in the course of one day. Still, it’s nice to have a spare.The included contractor’s bag has rings for using a shoulder strap, but no strap was included in the kit. It’s a standard Milwaukee bag, no inside pockets and a single zipper. Well made.The unit comes with a very fast stop function – release the paddle and everything grinds to a halt in under 3 seconds. Nice safety feature that – and, speaking of safety, you’ll want face (not just eye) protection, hearing protection, and proper clothing when using this little beast. Wheels do break, work pieces do shatter, and it’s good to be protected. This tool isn’t particularly noisy as grinders go, but ear protection would be wise. Seriously – read the manual on this one, you may save yourself an injury.I use the tool more frequently as a cut-off tool than as a grinder (although there are projects where I’ll use it as a grinder too). With the proper blade this thing does yeoman’s work, it just plain flat slices and dices. While I’ve enjoyed having the older 6141, not having to deal with a cord is liberating. The 6141 has been relegated to the basement shop (where power outlets are abundant) and this new M18 2980-20 has been given pride of place in the garage. I had a metal flower trellis that needed removal and just being able to grab the M18 with a cutting wheel and get the thing cut down into pieces without having an extension cord run back to the house was great. Warranty – 5 years on tool, 3 years on battery, with a 90-day return policy from Home Depot.Build quality – excellent.Ergonomics – excellent.HTHRegards,Jim

The MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL 4-1/2” – 6” Braking Grinder is another quality power tool from Milwaukee. There are many great features with this grinder. I like the spring-loaded adjustable guard. The guard has notches on its mounting plate which allows the operator to rotate the guard without tools to the most convenient position. The guard is sized for up to 6 inch grinding wheels. The new FIXTEC nut allows the operator to flip up a spring loaded ½ washer to tighten or loosen the nut that secures the grinding disc (A wrench is provided if the FIXTEC nut is too tight to loosen by hand).The paddle switch is easy to engage with gloves on and stays engaged even with slight hand movement while grinding. The braking feature works great and meets the 3 second stop criteria. No more waiting for the grinding wheel to quit spinning or touching the grinding wheel to the work surface to stop it so you can set down the tool.The tool bag is large enough to carry the grinder, battery, charger and the grinding wheels required for your job. With the 6XC high output battery you get the power of a corded grinder that will last all day long for most jobs.In your hands the grinder has a nice balance and is comfortable to hold and maneuver. The support handle can be mounted on the left or right side. I like not dealing with the power cord and having the same performance. I would definitely recommend this grinder to it DIY or professional user.

Works great, has a lot of power but you need to use a 6.0 or bigger battery it uses a lot of power, the only thing I am not real thrilled about is the nut that holds the grinder disk on, it is hard to grab you can’t just grab the disk like you do on most grinders and spin the nut off

This is a great kit. I have had it for a few weeks now and love it. I have used it for sharpening lawn mower blades and many other grinding tasks. The six inch wheel size makes this thing awesome. I really like the paddle switch feature. Batteries last a long time. charge quick. Very powerful and nice to not have a cord laying around to get caught on things. I strongly recommend this tool kit to any one. Carry bag is also well made. I have not found a thing I don’t like. Over all this is a great kit and a must have.

love the no key quick change thing. wondering why nobody else think of this. long overdue. all the oscillating tools got quick releases. love the flexible guard as well. it doesn’t guard all that much to be honest. but just being there gives me peace of mind. not very heavy with the battery attached and well balanced. not much vibration , day and night from my cheap corded ones: ryobi and harbour freight. but this baby costs four times plus some than the other two combined!

Milwaukee does it again. This is a fabulous angle grinder. Especially not having to fight with a power cord slapping around or getting nicked. I use this for hollowing out bowls. I was inverting them over my table saw with stops set to keep bowl centered on blade. Then I would raise the blade about 1/8″ at a time and rotate the bowl till I got to the depth I wanted. Wellll, with this puppy I can leave the bowl in the lathe and use a chainsaw wheel, yes a chainsaw wheel to hollow out my bowls. See photos. I know, you can gouge the center out with a lathe tool BUT I have hard and soft woods laminated and the chisel would always grab the soft wood. I feel safer hogging it out this way now. Anyway this is more fun! The paddle switch is fantastic, well positioned and it has a safety lever so you can’t pick it up and turn it on accidentally. You have to deliberately slide the lever forward. I really like the fast stop feature, under 3 seconds easy. A spindle lock makes putting wheels on/off easy and the nut has a flip up tightening tab for faster tool changing. If you need it tighter there is a spanner wrench included also. With the 5/8-11 threaded spindle you can even use a threaded hub grinding wheel. Balanced??? I‘ll say it is. AND it takes a 6″ wheel too. The carrying bag is plenty roomy and even has strap hooks on 2 bottom corners for a shoulder strap when you have a handful. So grind away my friend!
