Let me start by saying this little grinder is a game-changer for quick fixes and small projects. The cordless design with two 12V batteries means no more tripping over wires or hunting for outlets. I used it to trim a metal bracket in my garage, and the freedom of movement was liberating.

The ergonomic grip truly lives up to its promise - after 20 minutes of continuous use cutting PVC pipes, my hand wasn't cramping like it does with bulkier grinders. The battery indicator is genius; I never got caught mid-cut with a dead battery.

Now for the reality check: That 100W motor struggles when you push it. Cutting through thicker metals requires patience - you'll need to let the tool do the work rather than forcing it. I learned this the hard way when rushing through a steel rod project.

The included blades are decent starters, but serious users will want to upgrade. The safety guard works well though - saved my forearm from flying debris when I got careless with some tile work.

Bottom line? Perfect for apartment dwellers or hobbyists needing occasional light cutting/grinding. Professionals will want more power, but for $100-ish? This punches above its weight class for casual use.
