I use mine as a machinist, its great for deburring and adding small chamfers, removing rust, and has saved me a lot of blood from using files for deburring. You can order a 1/8 collet kit for this tool as well to use this as an extremely overpowered dremel. I bent a wire tie to make a removable clip to disengage the safety and grip it with my pinky pulling the switch so I can hold the tool around the motor, the precision and control when held this way is only rivalled by a flex shaft rotary tool.
Ive had one for a few months now and have fallen in love with it. Its so nice and portable.. Im comparing it to a snap-on 1/2hp, and its cut the mustard wonderfully as a surface prep, and composite parts grinder. You will want to take the trigger safety spring off for faster resets if you do hit the tq limiter. Ive used 2" and 3" roloc from 24-120g and also 3" egg crate buffing pads. It will not spin wool buff pads. No biggie.. the 5.0ah battery is the slick ticket.. 5 star product for any shop.
Not sure if you have one of the Milwaukee M12 battery ratchets, but if you don’t, they are great! I bought a 3/8 drive and liked it so much I immediately bought a 1/4 drive unit. Those little batteries last a long time in the ratchets by the way......
These are game changers in the welding world, i bought 2 everyone in the shop used them so we bought 3 more. No more dragging/tripping over an airline (somebody elses usually) and no more going deaf from a fucking air motor. ALSO!! OMG cordless die grinders in the field are fucking invaluble these guys got us out of a few jams during some installs. Just spend the money on the things.
They must have updated the diegrinder. I've had one for 2 years and almost never use it. The thing is useless for anything more than the most gentle buffing. The safety stops it immediately if you lean in on it even a little. I have a 1/3 hp pneumatic that has perfect throttle control and never gets stopped by spirited and harder grinding
I love mine, but you got to mention its limitations, it doesn't like big bits and will cut when pushing to hard. Also its bigger and harder to get in tight areas. But i will deal with these issues and will always use it over the pneumatic option.
Look forward to seeing you review some of the attachments, I've been wondering about abrasives and what folks find most useful with these since I've been using mine more this winter.
Love tool reviews. Every once and a whle, a simple tool comes along and makes you go, 'why haven't I had this all this time?' A tool like that is Eastwood's Contour SCT surfance conditioning tool. It's just a corded wheel brush with various attachments. THis thing came along and made metal prep so easy. A must have if you do any amount of body work and metal prep. This tool reminded me of that thing.
Hmm, not a good Friday video! I do not need this tool because I already own it :( Kidding, love your Videos and yes I already own the grinder and love to use it, especially to clean parts before welding
I love Milwaukee tools. That being said, these die grinders have nowhere near the power of air. I have two each of the straight and 90 degree. Very good for quick jobs, but they get very frustrating very quickly. They shutoff constantly. And unless you put a 6.0 battery in forget it.
@@Thefabforums thanks bud. Love what you do, and yea, the die grinder is on the list. Right after the mini chainsaw, cuz who doesn't need a mini chainsaw!!!

I do....the only other Milwaukee product I own

my very 1st cordless tool and it started the addiction... lol
Good to see you back on Friday 's

I just bought one a few weeks ago. Same thing. Any sort of pressure and it stops.
@@jsanders4298 Get the 4ah xo battery at least.
Hell yes brother! Love these tool presentations!
die grinder attacchments would be great to see!
I love mine, but you got to mention its limitations, it doesn't like big bits and will cut when pushing to hard. Also its bigger and harder to get in tight areas. But i will deal with these issues and will always use it over the pneumatic option.
Great Video Kyle 📹 👍
Thanks! 👍
I second that! One of my favorite tools.
Right on!
Yes another Friday fool 👍👍
Could you use one of those right angle attachments to a rotary tool for a similar result?
There's a regular and a brushless one. I wonder if the brushless is worth the upgrade?
I have the Ryobi it has great speed control and plenty of guts

Roloc discs are most common...
Man I've e been watching you for years. Finally a tool i can use and afford. Lol. Jkjk
I actually have a few tools that you featured.

I work in fabrication and this tool is amazing. unfortunately i invested in the m18 line and have to borrow the 90 grinder from a coworker or use air
Great tool but it has its limits it doesn’t even come close to the power of the air grinder with that said when you know its limits it is a good tool
Too cool 👍👍
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Nice tool. 🔧 I need one! ☆○☆👍
