Cordless angle grinder?

[steveR]

Started with an Einhell cordless hedge trimmer/saw 3 years ago, now have same brand on drill, 115mm angle grinder, little chain saw* as well.

Been delighted with the quality so far.

* Loved by herself, although the "damage" she can achieve in a short time is worrying at times!!

Dewalt 18v grinder I have had it for 10 years now , got it because I had an 18v dewalt drill,also had for 10 years , so only had to buy the grinder body put new brushes in the drill recently .
I also bought a Dewalt impact gun but it unfortunately is not as good as the drill or grinder in fact it was junk , had no power whatsoever and bought a snap on instead .
They all run on the older type batteries and are starting to get a bit weak now .
May have to bite the bullet Eventually and change the lot as the batteries are no longer available.
Would most likely go Milwaukee next time, but it’s hard to fault the Dewalt for the time I have had them .

I bought some Vanon batteries on ebay for my old type deWalt drill - looking for a grinder body now.

Have a makita and it’s pure shite,my Milwaukee is probably the most used bit of kit I have.

some scrotes broke into my tool shed by twisting the padlock off. I left the damaged lock until after the insurance pay out then tried to cut it with a cordless grinder, easy as butter. decent padlock too or so I thought, abus or similar

new lock now has a substantial cage/box around it, and another lock just above it in its own cage

I buy spurious old style makita, dyson and Alemite grease gun batteries on eBay. Super job they are.

Got an old Makita and a newer brushless Makita, the difference is very noticeable.
Get minimum 5ah 18v and you will never use a corded one again.

2nd that.
5ah batteries a must, but a cracking bit of kit, haven’t used the corded grinder for years. Mainly used with 1mm cutting discs which it is superb at.

What's the best make of really thin cutting discs?

Don’t know if their the best but we get on very well with Sait 1mm discs.

Handy got ryobi

My ryobi didn't last long and seemed to eat batteries but very handy when working

It does a job got a few Roybi bits still go for an electric for bigger jobs

Ryobi are owned by the same company as Milwaukee

Was thinking about a cordless one, 5in, are they any good, must be sore on a battery.?

I have had a brushless motor Makita, bought it a really cold year at Lamma when it was still at Newark, must be 8 or 9 yr old it is used daily and never missed a beat.
