Let me start by saying, this WORKSITE cordless angle grinder is a solid choice for small to medium tasks. I've been using it for rust removal on an old car frame, and it handles the job surprisingly well. The 4-pole motor provides decent power, though it's not a replacement for heavy-duty corded grinders.
The adjustable auxiliary handle is a game-changer! I've used it in all three positions depending on the angle I'm working at, and the rubberized grip really helps with control when grinding uneven surfaces. The quick-change wheel guard is another feature I appreciate - no fumbling with tools when switching between cutting and grinding.
Battery life has been... okay. For my restoration projects where I work in bursts, the 4.0Ah battery lasts about an hour of intermittent use. However, if you're planning continuous heavy grinding all day, you'll definitely need spare batteries or consider a corded model.
The included accessories are decent quality - the flap discs work particularly well for smoothing surfaces after grinding. Just note that some users reported not receiving all promised accessories, so double-check your package contents.
Where this tool really shines is portability. Being able to move around my workspace without dragging a cord makes such a difference compared to my old corded grinder. It's perfect for quick jobs around the garage or yard where setting up extension cords would be a hassle.
Would I recommend it? Yes - but with realistic expectations. It's great for DIYers and light professional use, but serious metalworkers might want something more heavy-duty.
