Our verdict

A cordless angle grinder with variable speed and braking for cutting and grinding on site. The listing's power source and weight entries look unreliable, so confirm them first.

Overview

A braking mechanism stops the wheel quickly after release on this Milwaukee M18 FUEL angle grinder, which also has variable speed control. The body is metal and plastic in an angled layout for cutting and grinding.

Variable speed lets the user slow down for delicate work, and braking stops the wheel sooner for safer wheel changes. The power source entry is garbled and the weight entry conflicts with the size, so details need checking.

Who it's for

Cutoff and grinding jobs in the field where a cord is a nuisance suit a battery grinder with speed control. A shop user with a cord nearby can save by buying a corded model.
