Cordless angle Grinder

[UlsterFarmer135]

Hello. Was looking at getting a cordless angle grinder for handiness about a farm and can take about unlike corded. However what's best make to go for and also bearing in mind that the brand's other tools are good quality if buying other tools I could use the battery. Thinking of going for a 6 inch as may aswell go for a bigger size than 115mm and have power when going to the cost of cordless. Just for general farm work we bit of cutting and sharpening. Thanks

Milwaukee, 115mm fuel is good, thats what i got with a 125mm guard on it. However there is a new high power version also now but its a lot more money, then there is also 180mm and 230mm ones if you want big.

Is 115mm not a bit small and slow?

 

[chickens and wheat]

depends what your cutting, 115 is fine for tin sheet, poultry feeder tracking, bolts up to 24mm spanner size sort of jobs.

115 not great on profile roof sheets you cant get into the troughs to do one cut across a sheet.

It's not slow no with a 1mm slitting disc could actually be quicker alot of the time compared to larger dia thicker discs, personally I wont use 1mm discs on anything bigger than 125mm as they break too easy.

Only need bigger grinder if you need the depth of cut.

I have all hitachi stuff. All brushless and very good with the 6ah battery’s. Drill, grinder, work lamp, impact driver can’t fault any of it. Same chucks on the drill as most other makes including Milwaukee.

I have Makita and no complaints.
My angle grinder is 115mm and on the extremely rare occasion I need bigger I do resort to the corded 9". So rare that the 9" is still on its first disc after more than a year.
Lots of other Makita tools here too and no complaints with any of them. Rattle gun, impact driver, hammer drill, jigsaw, circular saw, SDS drill.

And me ..my shed looks ive raided the warehouse

Now Then..
I have all Makita. 4½" grinder is good. I have all brushless tools as the run time is better than brushed. The grinder can do 15 minutes of hard grinding with a 5Ah battery. Rapid charger charges it in around 45 minutes..
Drill, grinder, impact gun, jigsaw, multicutter, garden blower, radio..

125mm is a 5" grinder, no such thing as a 6" grinder

Hands down best i have used is the 5” Dewalt flex volt xr. Better than most corded ones

 

[milkloss]

I've got makita gear but do like the dewalt 125mm. Much better tool imo.

 

[msheep66]

We have all Makita here. The grinder does what we want most of the time.

Metabo do 6" angle grinders...

They also do a flat head cordless 5" grinder that looks handy for awkward spots.

If really depends upon which colour of batteries you'd like to buy into

The battery power tool has pretty much supplemented every corded machine previously used, though some still come with an eye watering pricetag for the larger amp hours batteries

It's depends upon your preference to which brand you buy, and then start collecting to satisfy the cravings implanted by the very clever marketing graduates

The raw materials are all from a finite resource dug out of the ground by a third world impoverished life that doesn't really matter

Go for it, my collection is Milwaukee

 

[Chris W]

Very impressed with my 5” Milwaukee, not sure how we did without it but disappointed with the 9” version.

Or for the first purchase which tool you can find on offer with a pair of 5ah batteries and charger included, then everything else can be purchased as a ‘bare body’ for £100 - £130 per tool.
I went the Dewalt route, but you need to search hard to find the right deals. Black Friday, Zoro Tools, Screwfix monthly deals etc.

I really wanted the dogs impact gun, which a few years ago meant jumping down the Milwaukee rabbit burrow

(it was on special at FFX tools, and came with 2 batteries...... But so long also that they were 4.0 amp hours because 5.0s weren't really a thing then )
