Great little grinder, Its my deburring grinder in the shop and occasional cutter. The battery lasts and the power is immediate, the best feature I enjoy is its anti-kick lockout when you get the cutoff wheel stuck.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Fuel grinder

Spending the extra to get fuel was not just worth it but necessary with this one. I have a great electric Makita grinder that I loved for years and it will likely only get used if I forget to charge batteries now.

First use was 3.5 hours removing old carpet adhesive from a concrete patio after pulling up the carpet. Worked great with plenty of power and only one 5ah battery change to finish the job. Definitely recommend.

Having a cordless option in the shop for a grinder is a real convenience. I have been looking for a cordless one for a while but was hoping someone would come out with a variable speed one. Milwaukee delivered.

Milwaukee 5” Grinder
3 years ago
I had used one before and wanted one of my own. I liked the smaller 4.5 model. This 5” model is the truth. Cuts through whatever I ask of it. Looking forward to my next “red army” (as I call it) addition !!
Yes, I recommend this product.

Comfortable weight, portable length, sufficient cutting power. It would be better if a grip mounting hole could be added to the top to provide an additional angle for holding. Overall, it's a very useful tool.

As with other Milwaukee tools that I own, it is a quality product. It has the power to do whatever task needed to get the job done. What I like most about the grinder is that there’s very little vibration.

Like the design and power just don’t like the fact if you don’t have the disk 100% tight, it will back itself off When the brake locks For the safety stop other than that the battery last along time in it

Everything and more than I expected. This is my 1st Milwaukee tool and I needed something for heavy duty grinding, and it did not let me down. Well balanced, and works great, cannot recommend it enough.

Great cordless grinder, using in an industrial environment and performs well. I also like the fact that it has the brake and stops when you release the paddle. I feel that it's a much safer tool this way

Easy to use and set up, definitely is worth the money as it is easy to use and very friendly for the customer to set up and use. Battery life while using it is longer than expected so a great bonus there

This is a great tool for welders everywhere. With a 5.0 battery it has enough power to make quite a few cuts before it runs out of juice. My literal only complaint with this version is I cant lock it on.

Great tool but with a couple gripes - 1. Only comes with a 5” guard 2. you need an arbor adapter (not included) for most screw on type accessories 3. No handle mount on the top/middle of the tool
