I’m right now only using M12 Fuel tools for daily work, but I’d like to replace my corded angle grinder with a cordless one for ease of use on the job site. It doesn’t have to run for hours (I have several corded ones if I need one for heavy use) but instead just to make quick cuts, or smooth a surface, grind a transition. Most will likely be 5-10 minute jobs, or small fabrication projects.
I generally prefer thumb switch to paddle but I own both. I understand paddle might be safer with cordless in the event it gets dropped, because it can’t be shut off by pulling the plug.
I like the feel of the Bosch one, and I have an opportunity to get one with 2x 5.0 batteries and a charger for less than $200, but the X-lock proprietary discs bother me, as I have a collection of abrasives already that fit on a standard arbor.
Please share your experiences and recommendations? I’m open to other brands as well.
