MILWAUKEE CORDLESS GRINDERS ARE THEY GOOD AS CORDED

[@shooterblaze1]

I hate the paddle switches too

[@66mybeat]

I have been slowly changing over to cordless grinders the last few months, the battery life and brushless features just work so good and without the hassle of a cord. Great video!

[@FlyinZX10R]

Every time you pick one up and it doesn’t have a guard on it I wince just thinking about what could happen

[@YesImhymn]

I purchased the paddle style 6” fuel grinder recently for the random times I’m in need of a grinder...now I find myself looking for stuff to do with it!

[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

Thanks for the review on them Justin. Definitely something to put in the toolbox. Because dragging a generator to a jobsite sucks. For a 15 minute repair.

[@bulldogblvd]

Never use a cut off wheel without a guard, it’s not a question of if a wheel will come apart, it’s when. My old boss had one come apart and a piece went through the underside of his eye socket and lodged behind his eyeball. 👍🏻 And yes, he was wearing safety glasses.

[@dylanrowan6626]

Vlad the Impaler Yeah it’s scary shit when they explode. Have had it happen to me always wear my safety glasses when cutting any material. I’ve had so many cut off wheels kaboom on me and I’ve been lucky enough not to get anything into my eyes.

“How in thee f*ck are you guys doing today”

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Milwaukee has really stepped up their game!

[@path3848]

Had the 4 1/2" fuel on job about 5 years ago when they first came out sure beat dragging a oxy/acy cart and 100' of hose to cut a tee in

[@trevorholland7]

Idk about other shops or who ever carry’s dewalt but my dads shop has a thing if you turn in two dewalt tools no matter if it works or not you get half off on any dewalt tool they have

[@Ram2253spd]

Might have to look into these. I hate dragging a cord around. I hardly ever use an air hose anymore because of their impacts too.

[@victorvaldes9238]

Excellent video, but you didn’t include the link for the “Norton Rapid Strip Disc.” Thank you!

[@manny7684]

Please please please don't listen to what he said about the guard and handle. You have to take a handle off from time to time but taking off the guard is like wanting to lose a finger or have a a cutting wheel hit your face

[@Kaabosurron]

8:05 maybe the handle would be good on the wire wheel

[@toolsonabudget7763]

8:07 u sure you dont need the handle haha

[@Codeman785]

Does anyone know how long the 6ah batteries last under heavy load?

[@juniorizq2342]

i wouldnt use a grinder without guard. the one guy in the shop accross my ungle house was cutting something and wheel broke in 2 pieces and the one piece went thought his heart and killed him

[@BlacharzOstatniejSzansy]

Bullshit

[@zagan1]

It happens, wait till a 1mm cutting disk shatters on you. Cord is 13,000 rpm Cordless is 9,000 rpm but ridged have a grinder that will do 12,000rpm. That going stuff into your hands or body and cut through clothes. The other is you have the constantly be mindful that your fingers are close to the disk, and do you can cut your fingers etc so easy. Also the biggest pain in the arse using a grinder without the handle you can't control or push harder without it, pls have the grip the body all the time which puts your fingers right at the blade.

[@BlacharzOstatniejSzansy]

@@zagan1 super bullshit I have used thousands 1 mm cutting discs mainly for body work, cutting in tight spaces.Many of them shattered on me , but nothing happened.I also use grinders without guards and handles.

[@juniorizq2342]

google it it was in the news. google guy in camden killed by a cutting tool in tire shop

[@NanoXG]

I don’t think it’s bull but I also think it’s one of them really bad luck situations. However, you have a lot of soft spots where it can puncture. Like throat face or mouth. Not to mention hands. Doesn’t mean nothing will happen Just because nothing bad has happened yet. Probably the same guys who say you don’t need a safety harness until they are flat on the floor.

[@desertratedc9596]

I own the older 2680-20 brushed model. Got given it brand new in box after gifting a friend some spare Beatles, Queen and Pink Floyd records to a fellow music loving mechanic. He got given it as a gift but he uses Dewalt. He knew I use milwaukee tools and he felt that made a good gift to me.

[@Nelchalo]

Also don’t forget to wear earplugs, dang that shiet is loud lol

[@mysterycomment1553]

I want to buy the newer fuel grinder. But going to wait till they put the adjustable speed on it. I definitely think that will happen. Seems like everyone is asking for that.

[@garycaruso4883]

YES Please! the new Flex is even doing it!

[@ruanof7]

Min 3:19 where is the safety glasses ? the steel wire can fly off !

[@HardKnocksForge]

Yeah I need an extra day at NPS to look at all the other stuff they didn’t show us.

[@bassmanilil7463]

I can see safety is priority in this video 😂

[@KIMBER976]

Thanks for taking the time to demo these !

[@kylebrown8891]

Iv had mine for six months and have had it replaced twice due to bearings. My 4 1/2 grinder iv had for three years and never had a problem.

[@richardbadish6990]

How many fucking hands do u have FFS! Says I'm going to buy more to for outdoor work. Meanwhile there's 4 sleeping in the shop! Lol Ijs

[@Highwayvillian.]

What model is that you use for cutting at 6:11

[@youpattube1]

I wish you would have mentioned if you were using 18v or 12v or what.

[@tycummin59]

I have had the 41/2 for 2 years now and it still works but smells like it’s burning up idk it still has full power

[@farmcentralohio]

Your eyeliner is a nice touch :)

[@Dav-hz8mm]

Dont usually comment on KZbin video's but this is exceptionally dangerous. To each his own but a cut off wheel breaking or small chunks flying of is too common in my experience.

[@marcowens3522]

Omg s t f u noone wants to hear that BS!

[@mkl5448]

You are 100% right, it's not only exceptionally dangerous, it's exceptionally stupid when you're doing a tool demo. Do whatever you want in your private world, but don't broadcast it to people.

[@kevinflowers1056]

That intro, love it

[@lucky13sss10]

Question, when cutting (watched a guys comparison between this and the dewalt flexvolt 6") have you experienced any issues like him where with the 9ah battery it goes into thermal protection after 3mins?

[@OUTILSCLIPSQC]

This tool need high outpout batteries, this m18 grinder is prety much on part with the flexvolt dcg414 but the dcg 418 is a little more powerfull but milwaukee just release pouch cell call forge so ... i guess its close

[@OUTILSCLIPSQC]

I saw the video you are talking about the 9ah is an old tech with 18650 cell they heat up quite fast you should not use those batterie in a high powerfull tool

[@jamesweston3679]

I made the mistake of buying that 6" Milwaukee braqking grinder. After 14 months it failed. Milwaukee wanted $162 to diagnose the prob and then parts and labor to fix it. It was replaced with a Flex grinder and all of the Milwaukee tools I have are being replaced with the Flex tools as the Milwaukee tools fail. Milwaukee lost my business permanently.

[@anthonybressler4404]

Great video demonstration. I’m ordering one

[@alyusmuse3839]

Thanks for reviewing your grinders that's a hell of a set ! I am now thinking of buying one of these two 2981 or 2785 7-9 in grinder, so here is the question, how much does the 2981 grinder last when you do cutting works??

[@lovetolearn5253]

I have to get one of those grinders. It's driving me nuts but are you wearing eye liner? Not sure why but it looks like it.

[@blakewethington419]

You gotta try the walter abrasives wheels, they are amazing justin

[@danshinault9128]

You can say that again. Have you used their flap wheels? Their cut off wheels put everyone to shame.

[@rustybrowneye]

I had a dog named Walter and he was amazing so I'd have to say that's pretty accurate about the abrasives

[@anthonymarino4260]

like the scotch brite wheel thanks

[@darrenr1194]

I Lay tile and I use a cordless milwaukee 4.5-5'' grinder to cut said tiles (Porcelain) it works great if not better than corded. No cord in my way and I can cut wherever without looking for a plug or extension. Battery lasts me an entire bathroom if not more (5.0)

[@pablos4104]

Have u or anyone tried 7 inch grinding or wire wheels on that grinder .. ?

[@shiningstaer]

Fuuuck I wish I had a business like this on the side, I just got on the elevator union but it’s not enough for my mind and time!! Any ideas????

[@joseibarra-oo7wd]

Have to say I have a snap on and it’s junk no power what so ever I am really considering in getting this. Milwaukee

[@automedic9781]

jose ibarra I just used a Snap On one like two days ago that another guy in my shop owns. Thing was a monster, best one I’ve used (at least until I get my hands on the Milwaukee one)

[@jonahkaiguam]

Heard Milwaukee coming out with a 9 in grinder

[@nbal4243]

agree he should have the guard for safety. he should consider rolling his sleeves as well.

[@BradsWorkbench]

Not a fan of the paddle switch either

[@jordanwilcox4723]

They have this type in 4 1/2" grinders now so looking at getting one

[@jordanwilcox4723]

@Mike Fu just got a 4 1/2" variable speed with the paddle and i found it comfortable

[@ghgjftythnhcfghdty]

They look big, clumsy and heavy, with all that battery stuck on the ass end. If you're in a workshop and not out on site or in a field somewhere, I think I prefer the smaller, lighter package of a corded tool.

[@dannyg652]

bought the 4 1/2 fuel version at homedepot yeaterday i liked it..used it to cut up a trailer project im workin on..when i got home i saw that the 6 inch was only 40 dollars more, so i returned the 4.5 for the 6 inch.. if anyone is wondering if they should go with the 6 inch do it, alot.more.power good studd man i subbed

[@bigaproduxions117x6]

Justin you’ve got the tool hoarding ability on a mechanic which you are not a mechanic, your a business owner. That being said; me personally I work for the 3rd largest Volvo/Mack truck dealership in the USA and you’ve spent more in tools than our shop tools, that’s not our personal tools. Personally I say save your money and keep it in the bank and take advantage of warranty work. And if a Cummins isn’t leaking oil it’s low on oil, carry on.

[@AndrewBrowner]

one or two of these are great but buying 4 kits on a whim.... i gotta think maybe you could be charging your customers a bit less

[@miggmog6302]

Shut up dude

The on off one is great until it bounces off your hand.

[@jedidiah4004]

Running a cut off wheel on any angle grinder without a guard is pure fucking ignorance.

[@paulw9732]

I own the 2980-20 same grinder, paddle switch. I like your switch much better! It does eat battery’s almost too much compared to the old 2780-20 but the the 2980 is a lot more powerful and higher rpm.

[@baileysavage8697]

Cordless will never compete with a metabo 13 amp 6" grinder. I agree cordless is awesome for sanding discs/wire wheels, but for cutting discs and serious grinding, corded is the way to go.

[@sizif717]

You are right for a 18v, but the 54v cordless grinders come pretty close.

[@kundetjenesten]

You are not wrong, but alot of the battery ones today do the job so good that it is enough for most applications. I'd love to grab a Metabo corded grinder, Metabo is awesome, but for my needs I cannot really defend it financially as long as my M18 Fuel cuts and grinds everything I throw at it.

[@robertpereira8255]

@@kundetjenesten I have a metabo cordless 6in it works great. I got it from ohio power tool in a combo deal with a metabo hammerdrill and 8.0ah battery kit with tool bag it was a good deal. But otherwise there expensive. Keep an eye out and catch them on promotion.

[@marcowens3522]

I bet your the same guy who said Cordless impacts will never compete with air or corded impacts now look they have Cordless impacts shitting all over air impacts and corded impacts. I definitely wouldn't bet on that!!

[@bsmithshoes9120]

If you’re in a shop corded is always the way to go, if you’re out in the middle of nowhere cordless is the best option

[@AndrewBrowner]

unless you have 5 feet of weld that needs to be ground smooth i dont see any reason to use a corded one... theyre cheaper if youre only doing occasionaly use but once you have hand full of batteries and the brushless tools theyre extremely convenient no cords tangling or switching outlets much easier to get into awkward spots without a tether... and you cant step on or trip over the cord and bring the grinder slamming down at a minimum braking your disk

[@patrickmiller1674]

Bullshit. I have 9 batteries. I hate cords.

[@SpaceAstriod]

No gauges for the cutting wheel is a big no no for me the others are ok

[@AZDESERT2024]

Justin , are you wearing eyeliner ?

[@stanleykinzinger]

theyre good but nothing beats a corded grinder. the problem is youre comparing it to metabo. i burn a metabo up in under 2 months. i can run a dewalt or milwaukee corded for well over a year. i havbe burnt up 5 metabos in the past year. my dewalt from 2017 is so loose the guard wobbles but i cant manage to kill the damn thing. and its a simple $84 corded grinder. never buy metabo junk.
