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.


Best tool purchase ever made
Best tool I ever bought very versatile and easy to use and works great even after a few hard spills onto concrete

A Milwaukee Grand Slam
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

It’s a Milwaukee
Small, lightweight tool, long lasting, yada yada. Exactly what you’d expect from this brand. I love it. One of my most valuable tools.

Solid tool that actually holds up
This grinder feels well built and works exactly like it should. I've been using it daily for work and around the garage, and it's holding up great. Does what it's supposed to do without any issues. I'd buy it again.

Good tool bad collet
Good tool. More torque than a pneumatic. Much more convenient than hauling around an air hose. One major downside for me is that the collet is not a true 1/4 in. I have to hammer my sanding accessories in and out and the one i have in it now is basically stuck in there and i cant get it out. I find myself reaching for my pneumatic more than this for that reason. Also battery life is mediocre and i can easily go through 2 full batteries to get a job done. Its just convenient because its cordless but i like my Ingersol Rand pneumatics better honestly ... show more

Milwaukee rules.
I have many power tools that I have collected over the years. My use is mostly DIY projects. Previously I liked the yellow and black color brand which is good. Now when I discovered this brand dressed in Red at a local big box store it changed everything. Well made, decent value for money and most importantly work good. Finally large selection in line from tools to portable vacuum cleaner. Milwaukee rules. ... show more

My favorite M12 tool to date!
I had no idea I would use this as much as I have. Have been adding M12 tools to my garage and this was on my list but thought it would be more of a "nice to have". Well I have used it more than any of my tools since I got it. I have been working on some Jeep axles and have used this to get rust off in hard to reach areas. There are so many different discs you can get to use with this tool so the versatility is endless! A lot of power in a small angry package. ... show more
