4 Top Cordless Angle Grinders Milwaukee 18v VS HiKoki 36v VS Makita 40v VS DeWalt 54v Power Tests
New Zealand 
Хобби
Excited to see this! Normally people only test same voltages so I really wanna see the difference!
Especially since they are I'm the same price range
@@Therealphantomzero not for me the 40v cost more money 200usd the bare tool vs 600usd~ kit but i already had LXT 18V tools and 3A batteries so that's extra deciding factor
Love the safety sandals while grinding on the floor 😁
They are Chinese safety boots.
@@Martian74 Chinese safety, if that’s not an oxymoron,I’d like to know what is🤔
Correct ppe
@@Martian74 😂

For me, Hikoki is always the answer. Only wish they offered more tools. No wrong choice here btw. Great video as usual. That 60v DW is a monster too.
I'm a makita fan boy that's slowly finding more and more hikoki tools in the van. Impressive tools
That's what happened to me when I actually started using he tools
My dads been a fan boi of green ever since the cassette battery days....im on red myself ....but love the green and teal impacts are the most comfortable to use since their so light...
Thanks for the effort you put into your channel with these huge comparisons. Thumbs up
I recently got the dcg418 DeWalt flexvolt which is the slightly upgraded one and it is an absolute beast. I managed to grind out the old cement for re pointing (UK) on a full house using two of the 9ah batteries, they are such a handy tool to have! 👍😀
Especialy a handy tool for the avdrage bike thief
@@Maykay1312 catalyser thief, get with the times xD
Gotta say I'm really vibing the content. No bull and a very nice in bepth detail looks at the tool. Keep it rolling
Glad you enjoy it!
Been tossing up between the Hikoki or the Makita. Thanks for the review, helped heaps!
I must say though I've used the Milwaukee with a 6.0 standard and a high output 9.0 and 12ah in the field and I would never choose a standard battery it's a total different beast with the higher outputs.
Tossing up or off??? 😂
Great video as usual I was surprised how badly the little Milwaukee performed I have the same one but with the break and it definitely benefits from the high output, can push it harder without stalling out. However the newest Milwaukee that is intended as a 5”or 6” is far more powerful I have that one too and it’s in a different class. There is a gen2 of the smaller grinder coming later this year also which I suspect will be much more capable.
Love my Hikoki !!! That variable speed feature is a GAME changer for other applications ! Hikoki knows what they are doing RIGHT !!!
And to be fair the hikoki 36 v 2.5 amp is 18v 5 amp when converted down so it's great for that size .
that variable speed makes it better to use than a bosh German one work had me use which surprised me as my first pick as a teen was the light switch germany 🇩🇪 made one but i couldn't afford it at the time ( 2002 ish ) . im not looking to replace my old trusty one that got stolen/broken but this time a cordless unit
Hikoki is a nice size in one hand too, I love mine, great tool no doubt about it
@@bandit911 ended up with the mekida cordless variable speed 6" grinder no quick change disk unit as the dealer said in my options that i wanted did have that QC check box to click off. not a bad peace but for me i already had the 2018-up 18V line in the impact driver for automotive work and it saved me some money ( bare tool was under 200 usd to home/out the door and isn't a daily usage tool for me but not having one puts me in a bind as i end up using one every 90D ish or less for 10m or more, and use it around the home for things like sharpening shovels or hoes ect. kinda wish it had a setting for exact RPM/and or could switch off the brake, as my old one i would turned it all the way down and bumping the switch to get a proper edge without it catching/push back/hurting me/braking equipment ect of the tool, im mean i like the brake on it but that makes some random rare jobs a little harder but still easier than full kill mode of a bosh but added software say by a phone 📱application would be nice ) for now otherwise i would have gone for the 40V plus the quick disk changer just to tryout to see if i like it and 🤷♂ in my area no hikoki dealership's
still like having no cord to trip on or mange i will see how it does in titer or above my head hight area's i may change my mind about that but sofar i wouldn't go back and im liking it out of the 2 times i have used it sofar for under a hour or 2 of run time/ 1/2 battery 3A. but i still miss my red and silver with black lettering Chicago brand tool still probably partially out of habit lol 😂 but this new one feels more balanced and not nose 👃heavy and more easygoing to control
Hey dude congrats on the 20k subs!! Another great vid!!! 👌 Go Makita!!
Cheers man.
Love that green Metachi! Oh sorry, Hitabo! Oh sorry, Hicocky! Damn it Metabo HPT
lol
I know, I love that Metkoki too. Damn it. Metabo. Damn it Hikoki. Yah, that the one.
LOL too funny !
It’s good stuff I just don’t like te name, hikoki. Miss the old name.
@@wessel7972 Be careful what you wish for, the old name was Koki. ;) Besides the obvious opportunity for brand confusion, Metabo HPT sounds like an exotic sexually transmitted disease.
Maybe it was for my benefit that XGT got delayed. 🤔 That Hitabo killed it. I’m afraid of Dewalt, but what a beast.
Count them toes when you done... (new sub from the States, keep up the good work!)
Great video! I have the 18v Dewalt and it is really nice although I use my corded grinder whenever possible. The Hikoki looks really good!
The Hikoki/Metabo HPT 36 V can be plugged in with the AC adapter
@@baseballdude8491 That's a feature that really stands out for me on the multivolt.
@@baseballdude8491 really how easy is it to get the adapter for 120v sp ? and about how much USD

10:08 Are those OSHA approved flip flops? 😂 Gotta love those Kiwis, you guys crack me up!

Standard apparel on site over here mate....😁
I was waiting for this
Great video and very well done. I would have liked to see the Dewalt with the 9 amp hour (3 amp hours for 60v) just because that’s what mine came with and I feel like mine doesn’t stall like this one did. Wouldn’t have been all that fair to give the Dewalt this advantage but the 9 amp hour flex volt is one of dewalts best battery’s. Again great video!!
To me Makita in general feels the best in the hand in terms of ergonomics and balance and the most reliable in my experience.
Hikoki has best handle on market people said
Hikoki surprise, nice. All very capable tools though I think.
Used an angle grinder (Ryobi) for the first time yesterday. Quite a scary experience, but got the job done.
Usually is the first few times using it, after that you stop paying attention to the sparks, keep you warm if anything 😂👍
Use the Milwaukee one a lot with 12.0Ah battery as it is very hungry on power. Can't wait to put the XGT grinder to work soon.
Thank you! I was thinking of going Flexvolt as my system for more powerfull tools as I already have some DW 18V (and a whole lot more LXT) but the DW looks bloated/chubby and the Makita one a lot more slim and like the LXT that I am used to.
It will be XGT in my shop, when they have "buy one, get one for free" next time.
I've found that using a Flexvolt battery on my 18v grinder (DCG406) greatly, like seriously greatly, improves its performance even though nothing in the literature, or specs, says it should - I'm obviously a bit late with this but it would have been interesting to see that added to your test suite, I mean... what if the 54v grinder wasn't actually any better than the 18v, and the real oomph just came from the battery used?
Love ya work m8.
We have the Dewalt and I love it. Iv put great big 7 1/2 Dimond cutting wheels on it cutting cinder blocks and it is skookum as frig! I however wouldn't recommend this as the cutting wheel is very close to your trigger finger.
Safety sandals!! I love it!!
Great vid 👍 I dont suppose you'd know the max cutting depth on these do you? (From motor head to the edge of cutting disc) It would be a nice comparison to see which tool gets the most out of the discs, as some have larger heads than others.
Hikoki.. who'd have thought it?
I've got Milwaukee....it's ok for general stuff...good stuff x
I really like the auto mode, gives more control before you start cutting.
18v makita brushless grinder starts for a second and stops, what could be the problem. Thaks in advance for your help.
Great video as always, love your footwear, the sparks are a good way to keep the hair off your toes💥💥💥👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
Love the joke at 17:52 - fantastic channel!
Does the DeWalt lock nut spinning thing spit fit on the Makita asking for a friend hehe
Please test the bosch Profactor 18V Spitfire GWS 18V -13CN, for its a monster! I use it with a 6" diamond blade to cut 3CM granite and quartz, and the grinder cuts thru everything like butter without stalling, at all! I, also, use the Makita with 3.0 ah battery and it's good to but it stalls sometimes and the batteries don't last long...the Bosch has every feature from bluetooth to vibration reduction handle like the Hikoki grinder, thanks for such fun an great reviews mate!
Thanks again. I really like your videos. You’re honest, fair and fun to watch. Please keep them coming, I will watch them all. Until now I watch all you tools and stuff videos. Greets from the Netherlands. 🙏🏻😇
Thanks. I am glad you enjoy them. Plenty more to come. I'm filming one right now.
Have you watched all the Builds & Stuff videos too ;)
No not all, but I will.😉
Pretty close to spot on IMO. thanks for validating my waiting for the Makita 18v variable speed. Only to end up getting the mean ass multivolt. Though ide have no issues using any of the others. I would like to see the hilti and last but should not be least(though I fear it may perform as such) Metabo brushless.
Better off the older brushed Metabo cordless grinder. At least they make it at their German factory for the money. Don’t know the others here on review but the brushless Metabo is many steps below the Makita. Also, if you own any Metabo grinder parts/accessories, don’t expect them to fit the cordless. It’s almost like they know it’s cheap garbage. ;)
@@robertrada4783 thats a whole different brand
Have been hunting for a hikoki 36v grinder for some time, looked at ryobi but 18v dont cut it on grinders, need to get a G3613db and get rid of my old Hitachi (koki) 18v.
Seeing Wiltshire horns at the start made the video. Subscribed
Love the Jandals!
I kept saying to myself,🤔...that voice....😆....Thor's Rock buddy...Korg!
Outstanding Video by the way!! Thanks for it!😉
Hikoki you said at the start was 9500rpm but it read 8900. So you lied to me haha. Just joking, great video. Love this channel haha. Had milwaukee gear and ive had some reliability issues so I'm leaving that for the missus and home renos and ive just purchased dewalt!
Love the jandals bro 🤙
Love the safety boots there like mine 👍
Another point for AC adapter capable
My two sons one a fabricator the other a heavy equipment mechanic say the AC adapter is a must for any serious grinding as all of the battery powered grinders can only handle smaller jobs due to batteries getting really hot and ruing battery life if used constantly on heavy workload-yes they have experience with all the colors(Blue, red, yellow, orange and green) Green wins
I'm surprised if they ran into that issue using dewalts 60v grinder. I've bagged on mine all day cutting steel and concrete and it never got too hot (unlike my 18v).
True. Nothing compares to the corded versions. Nothing ! Handy but no comparison.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC That's why the Metabo HPT 36V is the best value-Acme just lowered price to $149 and its better than the others and is also a "corded tool" when you plug it into the AC adapter-also get the free 4.0/8.0Amp battery with the current promotion on Metabo HPT Website
@@LordIntrepid the 54V Dewalt is better than the 18V but does get hotter and shuts down much earlier than the others
Love the kiwi safety boots!
I think I was the only one to guess hikoki would win in your post yesterday. I class the hikoki as much the same power as a rat tail makita electric grinder. Also the auto feature is for battery longevity I think.. i absolutely hate it though, especially on the multitool.
A few people picked Hikoki for the win on Instagram.
Regis G-If u watch the video and read about my two sons "real world use" it's obvious which grinder has a greater duty cycle and has the AC adapter option-there is no comparison-if u want to compare it vs other plug in grinder duty cycles I'm sure you'll find it has a very good duty cycle rating since my two sons use it ALL DAY when they are fabricating!
I’ve had the flexvolt since it came out and had no problems. Although a 9 or 12 amp completely changes the tool... the 6 amp doesn’t have the right tech onboard for powerful tools..
Yea i hate the 6ah flexvolt. They run your flexvolt tools but with a sacrifice to power. I dont even have any of them anymore. I got strictly all 12ah flexvolts and 8ah 20v batteries. And a few slim 4s but not many
Looks like Milwaukee is incorporating some overload protection in their batteries like Makita. It seems a bit oversafe to me tho. They all seem very nice besides the red one. The Hikoki looks very good, but I hate those paddle switches on grinders. I like the Makita but I have been using their cordless 18v for over a decade. Really Nice Comparison.!
Hikoki offers switch as well
@Tools & Stuff. Thanks for another great power test between the 4 cordless angle grinders. Interesting that the Hikoki did so well. I was hoping the Makita XGT would do better but still not a slouch. And congrats on reaching 20K subscribers.
Hope you and your family stay safe and well.
Makita should have made 40V batteries backwards compatible like Hikoki/Metabo HPT did as well as an AC adapter option
If the hikoki had a truly tooless guard, it'd be a no-brainer for me. I just hate those cam latch guards so much!
Watching this Milwaukee in action, it seems super similar to my Ridgid Octane!
Ridgids the guinea pig for future milwuakee products bro
@@jonathangarzon2798 I know!
i work allot with bosch hikoki and allot hilti ;Hikoki is serious tool
I’d love to see these 4 brands face off in a hammer drill comparison.
Already filmed. Editing it now.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 20,000 Subs !!! 🎉🍻👏🏻👍👍👍
What a grinder of a Video! I know, that was lame, but your video was far from lame! @18:34; what I dislike about Milwaukee are those damn sharp edges, and painful triggers, on the drills and drivers. Thanks for mentioning that !!! Cheers Mate! Onto 30K !!! 👍👍👍😁✌🏻🇳🇿🇺🇸
Value again goes to hikoki, same price range and you can get a free battery rebate
absolutely love my hikoki tools, trumps all
Mate, it's good to see you have your japanese safety boots on.
A honest comparison which RED doesn't just happen to beat everything else with ease 🤔 I'm a Bosch Professional fan with HiKoki as my second choice.
That's the old budget Milwaukee grinder. There's an updated one and a more powerful one which would be the right one to compete to the XGT.
There is updated versions now of every brand in this video.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I think it's still kind of unfair comparison since XGT basically only has top of the line models and Milwaukee has the FHSAG (don't know the numeric code) with the bigger motor
While essentially unavailable, there is a new Milwaukee 5" Fuel grinder.
That grinder you tested is one of the longest made fuel tools Milwaukee has that hasn't been updated.
Try the snap-on grinder too
i own the 5' milwuakee and ive used the 6" dewalt at work, both using 9.0s theyre pretty comparable, dewalt does have a slight edge, milwaukee does have a 6" grinder ive never seen one in person but apparently its a fair leap up, i have some old 3.0xc batteries and theyre miserable in the grinder cuts the power in half vs my new HO 6.0 8.0 and 12.0s
honestly the milwuakee is a great tool my only gripe is the rpm, id like to see 10k or more rpm in a cordless grinder i find slower rpms make it harder to get straight cut lines and it wears the disk faster.. dont tell mum but i took the guard off my milwuakee and almost exclusively use 7" disks on it, it pulls 7" disks awesome and they perform much better as the 7-8k rpm range is far more appropriate for 7" disks vs 5" which like 11k rpm
i had the brushed 4.5" milwuakee grinder initially it was udder trash, stalled all the time and i let all the smoke out of it in a week, took it back and got the fuel model that was 4-5 years ago and ive been thrashing on that same grinder this whole time never an issue and i beat the tar out of it
amazing that its at the bottom of the rung currently were all pretty lucky to have such great cordless tools now, milwuakee will no doubt come out with a gen 2 that kicks the others to the curb and then theyll release new ones and so and so on until a handheld angle grinder can drag you across the room and grind all day on one bar of battery
10,000! We could almost buy our own ship for that!
Seriously, though. What cordless grinder can do 11,000 rpm?
Damn I have a Milwaukee fuel impact drill and it is amazing I was thinking getting the Milwaukee since I already have batteries and I really like Milwaukee but it looks like it’s struggling compared to the others.
There is a newer better Milwaukee out since this video was made.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL oh okay I’ll have to check it out thank you!
I'm surprised at the power comparison when you take a look at the different tools and the size of their motor
The hikoki 36v circular saw motor looks like a baby ... but yet delivers!
Great video & test , but it's Makita all the way for me !
Please try fhsag125 milwaukee to compare with others .
Beautiful
Which one you recommend for one hand use makita or dewalt
Coming from 18v makita
For one hand I prefer Makita with slide switch.
Congratulations on you 20000 subscribers you now have one more but your at 346??ish now
Thanks, close to 35,000 subs now
(At around 10:20) Good to see you wearing the old 'Chinese safety boots'
the thing is, Milwaukee claims they don't need more v's. the other brands didn't do it for power as much as they did for better battery working life (from in the box to in the garbage). as you could tell withe the battery over heating.
they are all good for light duty grinders as you said.
Yes, exactly! The more powerful the battery and the load it can handle, the less stressed it gets running hard. If the battery is always jogging, not sprinting, it can go much further while using less energy to get there. 👍✌
Well, the red one is far older than the others, and there are new models out, and better batteries out
best safety shoes ever!!
I got the hilti AG 4S a-22 and I really like it a lot. In my opinion it’s the best in terms of battery life, durability and quality plus the price for a cordless grinder it was extremely competitive.
Shame the dewalt dcg418 came out around the time of this release. Several hundred watts more power on a bigger battery (9/12/15ah)
In the losers defense these test are not truly comprehensive because it is a single unit coming from a unique store. so although large scale manufacturing aims for perfect replication every time for all units it commonly fails hence warranty’s. For the test to be true , you would have to obtain multiple units from different sources . But who tf has the time and money for that !?
Still very much appreciated since it still gives us a good idea on the tools . Thank you for making this.
Is it just me who hasn't been getting the notifications for these vid missed sooo meany because of it 😭😭😭😭
Better go binge watch.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I know lol

Angle grinder and flip flops. You are a brave man!
Impressed with the "safety" jandals, I'm living in Australia now so I was wearing "safety" thongs whilst cleaning up a barbecue plate on the ground. The sanding pad on my 9 inch (240volt) grinder disintegrated hitting me on both ankles. I thought my legs were broken. Never found all the pieces of the pad, but it had no signs of being perished when fitted and had always been kept in a cupboard out of sunlight. So treat them with respect and wear boots now.....mostly anyway!!!!!!
Never understood the argument of comparing things the same voltage when you're trying to compare the best each brand has against each other?
no, not a valid point anymore. This M18 12HO is even bigger as the Dewalt and Makita Flex and 40Max batteries.
The times of 36V battery systems with 15" long and 5 pound heavy batteys ate over. Now we can use this single handly
Why bosch not included. With procore bateries.
Because I can't afford it.
i like those protective work boots you got on. Sames ones Jesus wore when he was a carpenter.
The safety jandals!
The Milwaukee sounds like a bag of spanners
Hikoki stands out, I am a makita man
My dewalt flexvolt grinder definately does not slow down right until it dies. There is no indication of when the battery is about to die except for the led gauge
Milwaukee’s High Output Batteries are incredibly picky about which tool they decide to boost power to. If you were to use it on a Brushed Hackzall then it would be incredibly helpful, and I exclusively use them on their Super Hawgs. They do boost the power to those tools, but sometimes they just decide to do… nothing at all. On my hand drill, Brushless Sawzall, and router, they do basically nothing. From what I’ve noticed they perform the best on brushed tools, and on tools that just need every drop of juice they can take, such as the high power, high torque, and low battery life super hawg. Overall I only recommend the batteries if you’re using a tool like that, or if they cost the same as the non-HO model (6Ah and 6Ah HO cost basically the same)
Edit: The 3Ah HO is actually really good though for your hand tools. Makes them weigh closer to a 12V, while also giving you all the power you’ll ever need.
I’m considering getting the 6ah battery for my right angle die grinder. I’ve got a 3ah but it often stalls, I don’t push hard or anything I just use it as a scotch brite sander.
@@MrChickenking44 the 6ah will give you better output according to the Torque Test Channel. Again, highly recommend these batteries
Which milwaukee grinder is that? They have a couple 5in grinders. The one I have seems to have a rapid brake system so it basically stops spinning right away as soon as I let my finger off the trigger.
looks like I'm about to have some fun *licking chops looking at rams nethers holding angle grinder with INTENT*
Do you have access to the 5.0 40v Max in Kiwiland yet?
Not quite. Been trying to get one for a while. Hopefully not too far away...
Its here ive ordered it
@@ashtonlowe6761 Where abouts?
@@kizzjd9578 tradezone in Hamilton becin quick there is 200 in stock
@Ashton lowe If they are in stock, how come you had to order it?
hikoki king
One caveat is the high output milwaukee batteries only produce high output with certain tools. The 12 amp has even been seen to reduce output on certain tools most likely due to the regulation inside the tool nerfing to protect the motors.
Can that Hikoki use a 125mm disc, since it has variable speed? Seems even better than the Makita 40v, especially since it can run off main.
Great test. Love your channel, brother.
All the discs used in this video are 125mm
Makita vs HiKoki
In my experience Makita has better quality and durability in demanding conditions e.g construction site. And I like Makita's sound better, especially 18V, it's lower pitched at least for my ear
Makita vs Hikoki in my experience the difference in build quality is neglible. Makita impacts tend to break/lose that bit of plastic right around chuck, and my Hitachi broke the trigger lock on the selector. I can still choose the different directions, but cant lock it out in the center. Hi-Koki is the only one i know of with an IP56 rated impact as well.
Company ive worked for had all Makita tools, i personally own pretty much only Hitachi/Metabo HPT/Hi Koki.
Nice comparison 👏
Thanks.
👍
Metabo HPT, please bring more tools to the USA!!
What tools does the UK/AUS have that US does not?
@@danielbabcock7004 Historically, and especially the years leading up to the name change, it seemed that Hitachi/Metabo HPT was focused more on the global market than the US market. It seemed like you could find some outdated “essential” cordless tools (drivers, saws, etc) in the US, but anything new or lesser used was nowhere to be found. In the past, tools such as the new cordless routers or the 36v cordless impact wrenches might not have have made it to the US market. As it is, the tools are released under the HiKoki name overseas first, and months later they might make it to the US. Since the name change, Metabo HPT seems to be doing a better job of getting things to the US market faster and more frequently, which I’m thankful for.
I use the dewalt and Milwaukee daily. The dewalt is by far so good in every respect it will change your life. The switch is extremely comfortable. It has bind control. When I use the Milwaukee especially the paddle switch ... I want to throw it away.
Bind control will stop grinding when operator binds the blade. It's for safety. It works well
Yup. .maybe the best cordless tool out of all of them.
@@philipjohn4149 They all have that. The blue one and green one have a soft start, brake, bind control, overload protection, and zero volt restart protection. The red one has all of that except the brake. The blue and green can either be bought with a paddle switch or locking slide switch.
The reason the DeWalt has the trigger is because it's technically a 6" grinder that comes with an optional 5" guard.
If you get the larger 7" or 9" of the other brands, they also have a trigger like the DeWalt, and a larger motor which keeps the blade further from your hand.
@@histguy101 good point about type of switch for hand to blade proximity. I still prefer mostly all dewalt grinders for ergonomics and power. 4.5 inch to 7 inch.
Your rams have gigantic balls
Japanese riding boots in full effect
You need to get brushless DeWalt is pretty good
All the tools in this video are brushless.
