Cordless angle grinders - Tile Advice

[Rosco100]

I use a Bosch one for mainly drilling porcelain with genesis turbo bits,batteries last well and it's light

I'm getting the impression the benefits don't out weigh the negatives.

I had a corded grinder for years just got sick electric cable round my ankles so got the cordless but then again I don't use it as much as some do I'm a wet cutter kid

 

[Old Mod]

My grinder is almost a part of my hand, it's in it so much.
The little Bosch 7-115 is so small and lightweight I doubt a battery one would get anywhere near it in size and shape tho.

I've got the Dewalt cordless, and used it recently on a 3 metre splashback, 7 sockets and 2 L cuts round the window plus a couple of other small trimmings, used 2 full 4.0ah batteries and they were only ceramics. It has its uses but I wouldn't be using it on a full bathroom, you'd need 10 batteries per day

That's unbelievable @Bri ..


You actually tile a kitchen Splashback !!

Bosch GWS 18v with 4ah battery and carry a 3ah as back up but not needed it yet.

I use my makita on small jobs or ceramics. The 110v comes out for big jobs or lots of porcelain cuts

I've got makita brushless with 4x 5ah batteries and a double charger and I give it some death most days. I hate cables and love the freedom, haven't used my corded one for over a year now

A use the makita brushless with 2 x5.0ah batteries never go back to getting tangled up in cables just done a 48m wood plank floor with it as some tinkler stole my 1200 cutter out my van

Using 2 Hilti AG 125. Costed me 600 pounds for both, used, in USA. The best tool for me. I kept both for emergency, because lack of grinder could have costed me 100 pounds in wage, in a day.
But now I quit the tiling company, so I could get rid of one grinder in exchange of 200 pounds. Bare unit, no battery, no charger.

I like the music in the background

Was a nice looking tool but I doubt even bosch would argue it's comparable to hilti in build quality and longevity
