  • Good and handy tool
Great tool for light gauge steel, my only complaint is it will stop you at the slightest hint of overwork.

  • Works great
Excellent for cutting light metals, if you are cutting thru thicker materials have extra batteries because they will drain fast.

  • Very impressive
I bought this will the knowledge that it would be a very limited use tool. After trying it I have used it more than I ever thought I would. The best thing is the small size and the ability to get in very tight areas. Yes, it will.bog down if you try to cut too aggressively, Take your time it will be your best friend. I recently cut some flanges off a display sign and was able to cut it off right at the base with no additional grinding. As much as I love my Makita cordless grinder, there is no way it would have gotten in such a tight area without additional grinding. I also love the ability to reverse the direction to control which way the sparks fly and get them away from your face. Buy a bigger amp.battery ( I'm using a 6 amp) and its an awesome tool ... show more

  • CUTE ADD-ON...BUT LIMIT YOUR EXPECTATIONS
Not to pee in the cheerios of all the stellar reviews about this mini-cutoff tool...but the NSA in reality is it's underpowered for sure. If you're a regular steel worker used to a typical 4.5" corded cutoff/grinder, This mini will not be a great display of power in your wheelhouse. Just for real-time data...it took me 2 minutes to do a single 5/16 bolt cutoff. This is an eternity compared to a 4.5" grinder. This is for sure intended for thin sheet or small detail cuts your typical cutoff radius is too much for. Just don't expect to be blown away is all...you may wanna consider a rechargeable 4.5" over this if you're not doing tight radii/detail work and wanna go "unplugged." Personally I own all three types of cutoffs and I waited years to commit to one of these minis for a reason. It has it's unique purpose no question and I plan to keep it in the quiver. But definitely think twice about adding this as an alternative/substitute to your 4.5" corded...it's not even close to that power/cutting times. Beyond making small relief cuts or tight exhaust spaces...my 4.5" battery grinder will dominate my "untethered" projects. Same exact thing goes for you cats planning on doing woodwork with it and expecting it to match your small 4.5" corded/battery saws. Well-seasoned and elaborate "tool collectors" with extra cash = BUY IT. Someone tight on funds looking for a #2 secondary cutoff to do tasks similar to how your 4.5" corded saws would perform = DON'T. ... show more

  • Not cheap, but works flawlessly!! You will LOVE iT!!!!
Everyone has their favorite screwdriver, favorite pliers, etc. This is my favorite Milwaukee tool. Years ago we attended a Fall Farmfest near our town, and a vendor had one of these cut-off/grinder tools. He installed a Bad Dog diamond cutting blade and that combination sold me. It is extremely versatile for small jobs that need cutting, from wire to plastics and everything in between. I now own three of these tools, keeping one at the ranch, one at the house, and one in my packout. You will LOVE this tool. I recommend getting the 3.0amp Milwaukee battery so you can tail stand it. Here's the bad dog grinding wheel link. https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Dog-Grinding-Sanding-Cutting/dp/B084YD7W8P?pd_rd_w=O5otQ&content-id=amzn1.sym.8b3d9d59-d79c-4cac-8de6-20bbf8d72b27&pf_rd_p=8b3d9d59-d79c-4cac-8de6-20bbf8d72b27&pf_rd_r=S22F3BD0ZEHNA1080446&pd_rd_wg=15RsF&pd_rd_r=019d825e-c43d-4ee5-8341-94a196a7338a&pd_rd_i=B084YD7W8P&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_ec_nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_16_t&th=1 ... show more

So handy for all those small jobs when my big angle grinder would be overkill.
