Has anyone used this grinder and or the Bosch line of 12v tools in general? I have all Dewalt 20v tools mostly XR for my handyman business. They're chunky and overkill for some applications and Dewalt 12v doesn't seem to have a size/ergo difference over the 20v. I'm not sure what 12v tools I'd end up with and haven't handled the Bosch in person to see if there is a significant weight/ergo difference. I've used Milwaukee which has similar design and liked it.
The Dewalt 20v straight die grinder is a beast and I have that, but it's super frustrating to use for small work with roloc type abrasives where you're holding the workpiece or trying to change angles. It's like knitting with a fishing rod.
There is one YouTube video about them before they officially came to the States. Because of the metric collet they really didn't give it a chance. https://youtu.be/WKbpqoqfg80?si=xCLzaFswKlwDM72i
The only real ergonomic alternative to it is the Milwaukee 12v die grinder. This option looks a lot more expensive as does the entire Milwaukee line which has been what kept me away from it.
I'm invested into the Bosch cordless system(although I haven't kept up on new development since 2016). I recently got a new drill as my old one's been slowly letting out its magic smoke for a couple years(i literally cried it out of the local HS one day while being asked what the smoke was from 2 years ago.) While I was at Lowes, I noticed thy have a deal where if you but the 18v cordless angle grinder bare tool, you get a free 4A/hr battery and charger free. Most of my angle grinder work is either under a vehicle or a quick cut doing some fabrication.
Opinion on the Bosch cordless Angle grinder?
