You have to spend like 6 times the price on a cordless unit to get one that performs as well.ChicoQuente wrote: ↑ This is very tempting. I’ve really been hoping to get a cordless grinder but the price will never be anywhere near this. It’s in stock near me so I just might have to jump on this.
Oh I know. I’m very much struggling to decide what to do. For my limited use I think I can get by with a cordless and a high capacity battery and would greatly appreciate the cordless convenience, however the price and performance of this option is hard to overlook. I’m stumped.just9038 wrote: ↑ You have to spend like 6 times the price on a cordless unit to get one that performs as well.
I have the M18 Fuel 4.5”/5” and it does not cut as well as this 7amp corded unit does. I know they have an updated version of the cordless one though, so that might be more comparable, and the bigger M18 are equal, but are also over $300 bare-tool the last time I looked.
Grinders also suck batteries down like crazy.
Are you already invested into a battery ecosystem?ChicoQuente wrote: ↑ Oh I know. I’m very much struggling to decide what to do.

Keep an eye out for HD clearance deals. I scored a cordless octane grinder for about $150 with a 6 amp battery. I bought it primarily for the battery but I find myself using the grinder very often. I absolutely love it, use it to cut steel... cope crown, trim plastic... So handy.ChicoQuente wrote: ↑ Yes, Ridgid 18V. I have 10 batteries and a half dozen tools. I only have 1 4aH at the moment though but want a 6 the next time I find a good deal.
