2880-20 M18 Fuel Brushless Lithium-Ion 4-1/2 in. / 5 in. Cordless Small Angle Grinder with No-Lock Paddle Switch (Tool Only)

I’ve been using the Milwaukee 2880-20 M18 FUEL daily for a few months now, and it is a true workhorse. The ergonomics are outstanding; the paddle switch design makes it incredibly comfortable and easy to operate safely across a wide variety of working positions.The usability is top-tier—it features a tool-free guard adjustment that lets you adapt to different cuts in seconds, which significantly reduces downtime on the job. The brushless motor is remarkably powerful, and as long as you drop in a fully charged battery, the performance is phenomenal. It provides consistent, corded-level power for heavy grinding and cutting without bogging down.Overall, it's a perfectly balanced, highly reliable, and comfortable tool that has quickly become a staple in my kit. Highly recommended for anyone needing a top-tier cordless grinder!

If you buy this you probably already have invested in other Milwaukee tools, so you know what you are getting. So I will go with the specifics on this particular grinder: First, it cuts or grinds as well as a corded grinder. In fact, I have found I grab it first because I don't have a cord to deal with. It is powerful and balanced. I believe I actually have more control of it than with my corded Milwaukee 4.5" grinder. Second, it has a brake system that stops the cutting/grinding wheel quickly when you release the trigger. This is much safer in general, and specifically allows you to set the tool down on your welding table without the wheel spinning and either scooting the tool into the floor or throwing tools or metal pieces around. Also will add the lock to use when changing wheels works nicely. I can change them with gloves on without hunting down the wrench. It also has a clip-on plastic guard that goes over the regular guard that I believe covers more when using a cutting disc. Nice to have, but it is another thing to keep track of. So I am pretty happy with it, the best part is I can carry it out into the field where there is no corded power and cut or grind something, which is it's greatest function. Battery life seems good to excellent, but honestly I keep several charged batteries around, I am comfortable with the whole M18 system, but this tool doesn't appear to use a battery any more than my other tools, that includes a number of tools such as drivers, drills, sander, impact, and Sawzall.

good product, owned for a year now.

Great tool to have around. Love it being cordless which gives me freedom to use anywhere.

This grinder is super strong and feels really well-built. The brushless motor and paddle switch make it easy to use, and it works great with my M18 batteries. My husband loves it, totally worth it! The item was completely new and the box came perfectly.

The Milwaukee 2880-20 Angle Grinder performs well, and the brushless motor offers a lot of power for both light and medium tasks. It’s comfortable to hold, and the paddle switch is a nice feature. I appreciate how smoothly it runs, and the safety features are solid. However, the battery life is a bit lacking if you're working on longer projects, especially if you're using the grinder on tougher materials. It’s great for quick tasks but might need frequent recharges for extended use. Overall, it's a good tool, but it could be improved with a longer-lasting battery for heavy-duty work.

I use this every single day as a specialized semi trailer mechanic. We are responsible for buying our own tools and we plan to only buy them once if possible.It's nice. It is as safe as you are gonna get with a grinder. The power and battery life are unmatched. In my line of work these cordless tools are battle tested. Myself and almost every coworker agree that the fuel lineup from Milwaukee is top tier. I am even the guy who will buy cheaper tools if possible. But the quality for price is nowhere close with rival brands. I have owned DeWalt,snap on, you name it. I was rebellious towards Milwaukee at first because I thought it was over hyped. The last 3 years I have been using Milwaukee tools. The brand is NOT over hyped.

I already own the corded version of this tool so I wanted to try the battery version and glad I did. Tested on closet maid shelving, it cuts as fast as the corded version. But I ran into one issue that I hope Amazon or Milwaukee will clarify : The 5 year warranty this tool is supposed to come with. No nothing wrong with the tool but when I registered it online at Milwaukee it said NO WARRENTY . I called Milwaukee and at first they said it was just an error with their web site. But the second they heard I bought it from Amazon, they said the problem was Amazon. They will not honor the warranty for any tool purchased from Amazon and my only recourse was to return the tool and buy it from someone who is authorized. If this is true why is this not stated in the purchase description? Is this even legal? Someone please comment. Love the tool but starting to wonder if Milwaukee is a legit company,

Excelente producto, versatilidad, seguridad y trabaja como si fuera una amoladora de cable. Solo si deberías tener baterías de respaldo ya que consume rápido la batería. Pero en general una herramienta muy buena

年配の方など手に握力が弱くなった方など現行のサンダーでは親指などでボタンを押し上げるのに少し力が要りますが このサンダーはマキタなどもありますが握る形などで指全体を使えることから便利かと思います。

I ordered this item and received an inferior model ( lower priced item). When trying to return I discovered that you have to pay postage to return. After querying this Valencia Garden offered free return and pick up but was required to print out the return label, I don’t have a printer. I noticed no reviews from UK, if you’re from UK I honestly wouldn’t bother, too much hassle to deal with if things go wrong.

Better price than the depot but you do not get the depot warranty. It is milwaukee feul so quality is a non issue. Works dandy.

I like the size of the grinder kind of compact, but I was expecting more power, and I wish it has kick back protection technology as a standard, and all kinds of grinders and I have it come with a quick release, looking mechanism for the disc which is I buy it individually and I use it on the grinder.
