Milwaukee M18 Fuel 7”/9” Large Angle Grinder with a HD12.0 Battery Pack!

[@allenbreedlove8906]

I tried sharpening my blades with the 9” grinder and wasn’t worth a flip but it was my first time with a 9” grinder.. You did an awesome job.. Great video

[@erock89x89]

Tim, I'm a mechanic and I'm a huge fan of Milwaukee, my favorite thing is all their tools have interchangeable batteries. Dewalt failed at that. I have a 3/4 drive Milwaukee impact that is no joke, use it every day and have had it for 4 years. Also get the battery powerd ratchet. Your wrists will love you for it!

[@waynesteudler847]

Tim, Great video, time to trade all my Dewalt battery tools to Milwaukee. Have had electric Mil. since about 1975 and still work great.

[@josephboley]

Good morning Tim. Milwaukee has stepped up their game alot. thanks for the awesome video. as always be safe out there and take care Sir.

[@johnwhicks8687]

Great job on the video. Very nice definitely a handy tool to have. Especially when you’re not always around a power source

[@mikedobson2988]

Thanks Tim, nice demo, Milwaukee seems to be the leader in the cordless line.

[@blakedehart9171]

Just bought a Milwaukee 3/8 like urs i work on heavy diesel absolutely love it might get one if those grinders now like to see a demo on the 1/2 impact gun

[@frankwallace5174]

cool tim and thanks. watching ya sharpen your blades motivated me to take offf and sharpen mine👍 another good one

[@MatthewHoag77]

Milwaukee makes some very nice tools. The Sawzall was the first one that caught my eye as a kid. It seems you know how to put an edge on things.

[@kjinohio5897]

Maybe your shop doesn't get as much dust and grit as mine but I've found putting a cover over the MIG wire spool makes the liners last a lot longer. I normally just throw my welding shirt or leathers over it. Keeps the wire running smooth and less corrosion/better weld quality. Grinder looks great. I've wore out 2 corded 9 inch over the years but I use them hard. I can't complain about those as they owe me nothing. Can't say as I care for their chop saws as they are pretty weak and burn up quick.

[@jwoutdoors1451]

Cotontop3 that’s a big ol grinder boy!

[@traceyepley7691]

I have that same grinder. I'm sure it is a beast. The instructions that come with it show using a different guard with a cutoff wheel. I want to use a cutoff wheel but I am confused about using one with or without a different guard.

[@jasonrowe268]

I’m glad Milwaukee decided to let you try their gear. It’ll definitely going red for the next update, first will that impact and then the light tower. That light tower will get used a lot around here and it’ll be our new camping light as well.

[@joehonderd6584]

That's really nice because I have a corded 7in grinder and it feels real heavy on the front end.

[@gilbertrios5283]

What a beast... I'm gonna have to get one of those!

[@russburke3881]

Hey Tim, I like your presentation of the tool video on Milwaukee, I watched a lot of tool presentations on KZbin you are a step ahead of the rest of them. Did have trouble with the sound it was not quite loud enough I have noticed that on your shop videos, no biggie I just hook it up to my Bluetooth and turn the sound up thanks so much for your effort and your awesomeness LOL thanks ldr

[@cotontop3]

The sound inside my shop is a tad different and one of the biggest factors is the distance from the mic. I was kinda toast here because of the sparks and not wanting them to hit the camera or the mic and ruin either. With all that being said, I still had some room to adjust in post but I opted to leave it like it was so quality would still be ok. I’m glad my channel isn’t a cutting and welding show because those challenges dealing with sparks.

[@joehonderd6584]

I am a dewalt guy but man that looks like a hoss of a grinder. I could find a lot of use for that.

[@kundetjenesten]

If you're on DeWalt then you got the Flexvolt, that is a beast of a grinder as well. I never understood the fundamentalist fanboys: red, yellow or teal, we all have great stuff.

[@chang.stanley]

I just got the Flexvolt. Sadly its only 13Amps and is a 5-6" grinder. I didn't know Milwaukee had this beast !

[@huckmiller1971]

That's a real grinder ! I give it a 10 !

[@mikekahotea9197]

That grinder sure has a bit of grunt in it , but I noticed that the power slightly decreasing judging by the sound of it , I'm only assuming but I'd say it would take 10 or 15 minutes or more before that power decreases after heavy force use . Still that is not bad , not bad at all, actually pretty good I'd say, I'm a DeWalt guy and that Milwaukee 9 inch is damn good .

[@CRice-ln8lm]

Thanks for pointing out the safety interlock. That cut-off wheel took a hit from that rebar. Much work to do will require a box of wheels!

[@juniorraines5956]

Nice grinder tim that would be handy to have enjoyed your video for today have a good Sunday and next week

[@madmike9398]

JUST ordered one. I can't wait to try it on some 4" cast iron pipe. The 4.5" fuel angle grinder is great and all, but she cuts out on a janky cut and don't bite in as deep as i want. Hoping the 7-9" grinder will do the trick.

[@ricksgiggle8852]

How was it?

[@madmike9398]

@@ricksgiggle8852 It eats cast iron wonderfully. since the blades are so damn big, it's hard to get a crooked cut.

[@cynthiaherr9029]

Very cool Tim, My truck has some rust that need's wheeled out Tim, Are you taking appointment's LOL Just funnin Tim, But that would do it for sure, Love show and tell with Tim..Take Care

[@SuperMurrayb]

Milwaukee is doing some things with cordless tools that were once only possible with gasoline or line powered tools. It is great to see what this big grinder can do. Thanks for posting the video. One thing though, I do not think the battery will shut itself down if it gets too hot. One online video shows the inside of a modern Milwaukee battery and there is no switching device between the battery and the load. There is at least one fusible link but once that is open it will never close. What seems to happen is that a microcontroller in the battery monitors cell voltages and pack temperature and sends that information to a microcontroller in the tool. It is the tool that shuts down or reduces power to protect the battery. Lithium cells contain a lot of energy and mixing brands could be dangerous. This is why I would never use a non-Milwaukee brand battery with any modern Milwaukee tool.

[@cotontop3]

I got it too hot in this video. The battery lights will zig zag back a forth and once it cools, it’ll work again.

[@steffendetrick]

Someone left a review on Milwaukee site saying it does not come with a backing flange for cut off wheels? That doesn’t make any sense to me is this correct? I just ordered one and need it for a job so any information you can provide me would be really appreciate it.

[@Ewoodster]

This is a really nice tool. However Milwaukee is overcharging us over here in Europe on the new tools. The grinder and the circular saw are about 900 USD each. The gen 1 circular saw for comparisson is just about 400 $ with two 5.0 Ah batteries. I am not willing to pay that much for the new gen, no matter how good it is.

[@johneaston2348]

Tim as my yellow labeled tools die(and it seems lately that their quality has gone down) replacing it all with Milwaukee. Thanks for the unbiased demo.

[@89nissancrawler]

My 7amp 5” corded Milwaukee runs laps around my 12amp 5” corded dewalt. Both are rarely used now, as I have 2 5” cordless Milwaukee’s.

[@larzl9904]

Not too sure if reviewing a $500 grinder sent for free is unbiased

[@89nissancrawler]

He’s openly talked about issues with parts, dealerships, and $300,000 equipment they worked closely with. Do you really think he’ll risk his reputation for a hand grinder?

[@carsons6519]

I love my Milwaukee fuel stuff i have the small grinder but that thing looks like a horse...love there impacts too i have3/8... 2 of 1/2in..the mid and the beast and love them.. thinking of getting the 3/4 impact..it looks like a horse...i use them a ton on my service truck love there stuff and the batteries are awesome thats the best part...dewalt aint got nothin on there batteries...later on

[@neilraymer2058]

Carson S I have the 3/4” and it is a absolutely a beast. I gave away my air 3/4” impact!

[@harleyrider025]

do you feel that there's an advantage to using just a large grinder for sharpening those blades, or with a regular 4.5" grinder do just fine?

[@cotontop3]

A 4.5 is perfect.

[@lghzooyoshi9269]

I have worked in resharpening if you get a 12" disc and a 6"belt sander your sharpening will be 100%better ,40 years experince!

[@brentmedders]

That is a hoss!! Seems like once you get used to having a cordless grinder you use it more and more. I have customers that know I have one and they will stop by to use it real quick.

[@wendellgreenidge3362]

Awesome power, love you tests

[@xxbryan715xx]

Great video! What knife are you carrying in that belt sheath?

Hey Tim, a ways back you mentioned about putting different military themed flags up in your shop. Just wondering will that video happen in the future ? I love your shop videos. When you were putting in your new lights, that was great. Thanks for your hard work bud.

Why did you show how you attached the 7” disc

[@dwightjones5826]

Good grinder you will like that out in the field your going to have to have a bigger tool box LOL

[@Graveltrucking]

Its 700 dollars Canadian for the grinder and battery that's quite a bit of coin. I will see if my brother buys one for his shop he only gets 6 months to less than a year out of angle grinders.

[@douglasalder6039]

$700 gets you 2 x 12Ahr and likely a 9Ahr battery at the right stores (3 total) . $529Cdn gets you a 12 and a 9 at the right stores.

[@ricksgiggle8852]

Did you get to keep it or did you have to send it back?

[@PFab]

Where did you get that cut off wheel and how much? Also, how did you mount it to the grinder?

[@MeepMeep88]

Can you sharpen a kitchen knife with this? thank you

[@sunshaker01]

So does that battery fit in your jacket and how long does the charge last keeping you warm?

Your mike was very quiet, but how long did that battery last?

I need my boss , to watch this video. Maybe he would pick us up one

How is the balance on that grinder. Does it feel pretty well balanced front to back in your hands.

[@cotontop3]

Surprisingly, its balanced very good.

5:53 please ignore the fact that he’s literally throwing sparks directly at some oxy-acetylene tanks 😬

[@nathanbrodeur]

Tim with it being lighter than a corded one it will mean less fatigue on your body at the end of the day and not having to watch out for the cord is a plus

[@shiningstaer]

So no 7” guard??

[@Fiddlemandan]

HOLD UP NOW, you totally skipped over how you put that cutting disk on it. It was clearly a flat disk and the backing plate it comes with (and you clearly used) doesn’t fit a flat disk. It’s made with a flare to fit only the flush cut disks with the hump in the middle. You changed the lock nut to something else and left the original on the table while cutting. What did you use to make that disk work and why did you edit that out of the video?

[@servistools6254]

Omg my husband buys everything Milwaukee and Snap-On....he even has a Milwaukee Fan
