Top Amazon Reviews

🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


These reviews reveal that the product is highly regarded by most users for its portability, versatility, great speed control, light weight and absence of excessive vibrations. Some users have found that, although the tool is more powerful and convenient than a pneumatic, it has a relatively fast battery drain and the collet does not easily accommodate a true 1/4 inch arbor.

Pros

  • 👍 Tool is handy for its portability, freeing you from the restriction of an air hose.
  • 👍 Excellent speed control, weight balance and functional versatility, with multiple available accessories.
  • 👍 Tool has a light weight, is easy to handle and very comfortable to use, with no excessive vibration.

Cons

  • 👎 The 1.5ah battery is drained pretty quickly, necessitating either a charger or extended ah batteries.
  • 👎 The collet does not easily accommodate a true 1/4 inch arbor, causing difficulties with certain fittings.
  • 👎 The battery life is considered mediocre by some users, who find that it takes 2 full batteries to complete a job.

Should I Buy It?

Based on the positive feedback, I would recommend this tool, particularly to those who need a versatile, portable and powerful tool for a wide array of tasks. Despite a few drawbacks, the positives of the tool far outweigh the negatives. Just make sure to have an additional or extended battery and be sure to check your tool fittings for compatibility with the collet.


  • Excellent quality tool that really performs!
I used one of these at work the last couple of years and it works amazing. I don’t always have access to an air supply and this is perfect for those situations. I’ve used it to cut, grind and polish and it works great. I recommend using a larger battery for good run time with it though as it will go through the smaller batteries in a hurry. ... show more

  • A Milwaukee Grand Slam
The media could not be loaded. I’ve used these at work before and it is a fantastic little tool. Milwaukee hit it out of the park with this one. I finally bought one for myself to use at home on small projects and I also bought a few attachments for it too. Well, this morning I woke up and went into the garage to retrieve it and it was gone. And you’ll never guess where I found it. When I went back inside, I heard what sounded like a drone being flown in the field next to our house. Thinking that one of the neighborhood kids must have gotten a drone for Christmas, I went outside to check it out. And lo and behold, there was my brand new Milwaukee M-12 Fuel…with my wife attached to it! Looks like she done went and claimed this one for herself, and was using it to buff off the caked on grease that tends to accumulate over time on the grates that go over the burners of her gas stove. I took a short video of her using it. And I must say, it was a clever use for the tool that I would have never thought of. But ya, so, there it was. Looks like I’ll be buying (me) one now, since she’s laid claim to this one. Hey, Milwaukee, there’s an idea. The His and Hers Milwaukee M-12 Fuel Die Grinder Set. It’d be a Grand Slam! Do it! And maybe I could get the first trial version of it since it was my idea? Hmmm? Hint hint! ... show more

  • Must have for your self not your workers lol
A must have if you deal with Metal any type of fabrication and it’s a must have if you do any type of welding. I make custom wrought iron Gates, Fences, and Railings along with other custom requests and this is a life saver especially when you need A quick debur, or to grind down welds in tight spots the grinder won’t fit I use this everyday and the attachments are endless from mini flap discs to mini fiber discs, carbid bur removers to 3 in cut off discs you won’t be disappointed adding this to the arsenal, I would recommend buying more batteries especially the bigger 6 to 12 amp mini 12v battery’s will last longer and give you the power need to grow a 36grit fiber on and take down some metal ... show more

  • Works great but drains battery quick
Would definitely recommend the 4Ah battery for this. I use it with a 2Ah since I use my 4 with my stubby impact and boy does it really drain the battery. After sanding 2 front wheel hubs when doing brakes, it will often be at half charge. Works great though, and when I put the 4Ah on it lasted a lot longer and also spun faster. ... show more

  • Great for sanding.
I absolutely love this tool. It is great for small detailed sanding. I bought a variety pack of sanding options. I have used it to clean dried mortar off trowels and sand small rust spots on my truck. It has nice speed control options
