Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless Grinder Review

[@Ed_Stuckey]

Gave you a thumbs-up within a few seconds just because of no bullshit intro music or other crap. Stayed for the full video and am pleased I did. Thanks for a no nonsense test of the tool. I'm a fan of paddle switch grinders so this is right up my alley. Man, that click to adjust guard makes me wet. Crap, this video is gonna cost me money...

[@quaphan3334]

Use to use a cordless hitachi brushed grinder....the thing stalls the second you put some weight on it....upgraded to milwaukee fuel 2yrs ago and never looked back....this grinder is unstoppable...love it

[@Carnivorefitness2024]

I bought one for work months ago, I love it!

[@TestDontguess]

I love it, it’s been awesome

[@sebastiennudo7792]

Like how he shoots all the sparks right on the flammable canister at 7:50

[@kundetjenesten]

Thinking safety first is always great, but it is most likely a pressurized cannister and will stand burning for at least a few minutes, most likely more. A few sparks won't be a risk unless it's leaking.

[@quattro4468]

Meh I see blacksmith guys literally forging stuff 5ft away from gas tanks all the time on yt.

[@travissnyder8277]

You can do this to raw gas, nothing will happen.

[@zztopinthehouse]

Hey, son $249 for the 12.0 battery and charger right meow. Free grinder. No bs video with no annoying music. Love it.

[@SteveRobReviews]

9 ah is huge - I have a 4 ah dewalt and the thing last forever. Im sold on the cordless for convenience of use and tons of dc torque .

[@TestDontguess]

I know right I’ve only charged the battery Twice in 4-5 months

[@PersonaN007Grata]

Depends on the tool. On an impact driver, yeah, overkill. On the leaf blower or vacuum, not so much.

[@AlexGarcia-vv4ux]

2020 Father’s Day deal is 1(6ah) battery, 1(8ah) with the rapid charger for $299 and choice of 1 free tool about 8 to choose from .

[@rudychavira5558]

I just purchased, was wondering about ratchet notice when off, and slow down noise yours sounds exactly like mine thanks for video.

[@JohnDoe-px6fz]

2683-20 is the only grinder with a clutch to stop the wheel quicker. Plus it also doesn't need a wrench to change the grinding wheel. I'm looking forward to buying a grinder. Just trying to decide which one to get. Thanks for the video

[@johnspanishh6872]

Nice quick unboxing 👍👍 no fafing around dragging it out 👍

[@stevennelson209]

I picked up their weed trimmer a few months ago as a kit with the 9.0 amp-hr battery and rapid charger. For as much as I liked the battery (and the trimmer), the rapid charger was noticeably faster than the M18 charger that came with my impact wrench. Makes me want to check out the 12 amp-hr battery that’s used with their new chain saw and table saw!

[@32Belownature]

I have a 9.0 and a 12.0 battery on my 2767 1/2 inch impact gun and its so overkill i charged the thing 1 time in a month when it got down to 1 bar. Im going to put the 12.0 on my fuel drill and see how long itll last

[@patrickelamm2890]

Yup I'm really impressed with my Milwaukee tools,. I'm going To purchase this grinder, I have Small stubby impact 3/8 drive 210ft and m12 Ratchett sander and right angle drill , Thank you for the review,. Good video.🧰😊👍🇺🇲

[@itsmisterchris]

Mine does the clicking as well as urs wen u turn the disk by hand .i thought mine was defective

[@octane2099]

O thank god I thought my grinder was bad I would turn it by hand and it would sound like the gears were binding but I see yours is the same too it’s really quiet too I think it has more power than my dewalt cord one I had I ranned the 6.0 battery it looked like it didn’t spin fast but it cut like butter really happy with it

[@MastaYoda]

Can someone explain the difference between the high demand and the high output?

[@hardtruth2039]

I just picked a bare tool grinder because I have 3 12ah batteries and 2 rapid chargers.

[@Hitm8kr]

There is a fan in the charger. That’s the noise you’re hearing

[@cybershoworiginal]

No there is not on that particular charger.

[@westhavenor9513]

Yeah, mine makes the same noise. It's not a fan, it's the switching power supply making the noise.

[@Michael_78]

I wonder how this grinder would hold up if you put a cupped diamond wheel on it for grinding concrete?

[@matttomzak2befluent523]

doing my homework about grinder and a bit torn between De-walt or Ryobi, even semi professional like Worx ( due size ) but it seems it could be this one as like this switch and compact size as will use in narrow spaces

[@rickyschroder8469]

This is 2 years later but i payed 399$ for a fuel grinder/impact/hammer drill+ two 5amp batterys

[@michaelc7283]

Hi, I hope milwaukee can make a new version of this grinder. Would like to see a side on / off switch then the paddle style. Also a section on the top where you can install the handle.

[@anthonypelletier8978]

Just letting you know that I checked my local hardware store and they have one now! Looking to get one now

[@frankhouck4446]

Just picked up a 2880-20. Curious - the molex connection for the battery on the tool itself has a lot of wiggle to it. Seems as though it slides side to side and is spring loaded. Very loose compared to connection on drill or impact driver - both of which have a little play, but much stiffer. Is this by design for vibration isolation? Does yours do this? I’m not talking about the battery movement itself - which does have side to side play. I’m talking about the connector on the tool itself. Thanks

[@ftlaud911]

They make a couple versions. Are you happy with the paddle switch? I went with the on off switch model (2781) so I didn't have to worry about holding down the switch while using. Curious on your opinion.Think there are three models - on/off, paddle, paddle with brake.

[@TestDontguess]

I like the paddle switch for safety reasons

[@murphtahoe1]

Hmmm.....I’m I going down to Hime Depot today?

[@sbridge3432]

Just ordered one of these grinders from Home Depot. Comes with a 5ah battery (but no charger). On sale 45% off. $179. Couldn't pass it up.

[@rx2ride259]

Me too. Just got mine. Smoking deal!

[@benny868]

The fixtec nut is nice addition to these, then you don't need the tool to get the disk off.

[@lancerman]

Yeah not bad for the price point, my father in law bought me the drill and I love it. I’m buying all the other goodies as the batteries will be the same. Thanks I might purchase the grinder after seeing your video. Well it’s five mfbt.

[@TestDontguess]

Hopefully homedepot has that deal again with the 9ah battery

[@shantanarain2841]

I have a makita brushless that over heated and shut itself off which was awesome only not..does the milwaukee do this as well under heavy load if not i will be switching over

[@TestDontguess]

I think they all have it, I believe it's more of a safety as under a heavy load

I need to work outside and in need of a cordless. In case the battery is no more working, can I make it corded? Another thing, which one is cheaper?

Battery powered only, better stock up on extra batteries

[@im2crafty]

Where is it made or assembled ?

[@alexyu6928]

The first 70% of your video was shot with a headgear camera and that made the video very wobbly and hard to watch. Please put the camera on a tripod as you did for remaining portion of the video. Thanks.

[@andystoe9984]

I am a plumber ... Shit grinder I had 4 in 2 years on all of them the triger brock ( don't get me started on the shite m18 batteries over 10 died in 2 years)... Now Milwaukee says that they don't replace it anymore as I haven't registered the last replacement for warranty... I will sell all my 12 power tools Milwaukee and go back to makita (biggest mistake I ever did was moving from makita to Milwaukee DIYer tools )

[@Crawlerjamie]

How easily does it bog out? Have you tried it with he smaller ah battery?

[@TestDontguess]

Never had a issue with it bugging out yet

[@chaseybears]

Im looking for a mini grinder to carve with outside....do you have an idea of continual battery life for this model please.

[@alexs9532]

chaseybears use corded. More power and don’t have to worry about batteries. Battery power tools are not always a replacement for the corded just another tool to have.

[@toolsonabudget7763]

thats coil whine very normal

[@AndrewBrowner]

i got this grinder, it works great almost up to corded power and run time with the 9.0 shouldnt be much of an issue if you have some smaller batteries to back it up havent seen the channel since you bought the esab hows that welder holdingup any regrets?

[@TestDontguess]

The welder has been awesome thanks

[@AndrewBrowner]

ive had the warranty the gun recently, it seemed it got too hot and melted the seals letting gas out the bottum of the mig gun instead of the nozzle.. my machine took a drop a little while ago while i was changing the roll, only about 18" down but smashed alot of the plastic bumpers to pieces and the plastic hinges disintigrated... kinda dissapointed me after all thier go anywhere do anything rough tough rebel... an 18" fall in the shop would be a daily level of abuse for a field machine.. ive seen chucke2009 slam a mig welder off his 3' tall welding table with tractor forks and all it had was a sheetmetal dent it seems to be welding alright though after i figured out the gas flow mishap

[@marculiana4816]

at first after it appeared on the market in eastern europe milwauke was a bit lesser known ... after a while it was known that it is an American company .. I thought it was something especially top American technology and expectations were high ... after for a while I was able to get a more accurate impression of milwaukee products .... made in china .. poor quality visible from the materials used in the case ... tools almost new or little used fails give way to the complex electronics brushless motors ... of course it fell from the top of the best tools ... just like most brands although they have good performance and even better than those of the old generation are worse in terms of quality ... can no longer be called heavy duty tools .... a lot of design and advertising / marketing of trickery and theft ... to this famous brand .... closed batteries without ventilation for cooling / chargers without cooling fans ???? only now I saw that they took out a huge charger with cooling fan for high capacity batteries ... as if they made a great technological discovery .... what about the tools that don't need of large batteries ..with 5 ah batteries that do not have ventilation holes or chargers for them remain the same without fan ... I am sorry for the city and the factory with this beautiful American name and for the possible tradition of the quality of American products ...

I think you already know but you should NEVER wear gloves or any loose clothing, (inclusing long beards) when using power tools.

[@kundetjenesten]

Actually, gloves can fill another function that alot of people forget; microvibrations is also an HSE-issue. Maybe not as much for the DIY-guy as for the professional, but in the long term they will cause nerve damages.

[@davidandalon4047]

I figured that out the hard way on a grinding wheel it pulled my glove in and cut some chunks out of my fingers.
