After testing multiple grinders, the Milwaukee M18 Fuel stands out for its adjustability. Switching between 4-1/2" and 5" wheels is seamless, and the variable speed dial lets me tackle delicate tasks without fear of damaging materials.
The power delivery is buttery smooth—no jerky starts even when cutting through thick metal. I’ve used it for hours refurbishing a wrought-iron gate, and the motor never bogged down. The auto-stop feature? A game-changer. No more frantic scrambles when I need to set it down briefly.
One gripe: the battery life drains faster at max speed (expected but worth noting). Also, the guard adjustment requires a tool—annoying mid-job. Still, it’s my go-to for heavy-duty projects, and the seller’s responsiveness (per reviews) is a bonus if issues arise.
