A little bit slower than other grinders. But the trade off is that it’s super flat at the head. Super nice to get into right spots.

Best brand by far
Have tested many brands and find that the Milwaukee brand out preforms them every time. I have even gotten other to change to it.

    Eats 8Ah batteries for lunch
    Its got good power but eats new Milwaukee Brand 8Ah batteries fast. Maybe 15 mins of grinding per battery charge

      This was a terrible transaction and experience. Home Depot effectively cheated me out of the promised "free tool" that I had asked for. I ordered this "special" along with a cordless impact driver but it did not come in with the two grinders. I spent over an hour at the home depot store and on the phone with a useless operator in the online area. In the end she said someone wouldl call me back and of course no one ever has!!! I will never buy from Home Depot again because of this experience - very poor!

      I just bought 6 of these LAGs for our shop. With the 12.0 amp battery they work great. I was skeptical that they would have the power or duty cycle, but have been very please in those regards. HOWEVER, on the first night of night shift, two different guys both physically broke trigger switches, two in total. We have taken them apart and will be installing replacements today. I bought six new triggers, as I see this will be a reoccurring problem. Taken apart, the trigger switch mechanism appears VERY delicate and physically weak. Milwaukee must redesign this part if these grinders are to be taken seriously. You can't have industrial tools that fail in the first two days of use.

      I love Milwaukee cordless tools! I had an opportunity to use this grinder shortly after I got it home. It was just ad effective as a corded, but soooo much more versatile and convenient! The battery has a long charge life. I can use this for hard grinding all day before I need to charge again. I highly recommend!

      For the most part I'm satisfied with this grinder. It's a relatively light tool, easy on the hands and arms. The balance is impressive even with the 6Ah battery. The rapid braking is a definite plus. I'm disappointed that the backing flange is not removable. I bought this to use primarily at my job. The low profile head and one less cord to trip over was a big part in deciding to purchase this type of grinder. Not being able to use fiber resin abrasive disks with a backing pad is disappointing.

      Junk
      Battery lasts less than 2-3 minutes with light use.
