Cordless grinder, who uses one ?

[llevram]

Hello all,

Does anyone use a cordless grinder? If you which one and what’s your views on it?
Considering buying one but the dewalt one is £200 with no battery’s, which are £140 for one and a charger.

Any advice would be great or opinions would be great thanks

Have a look at the Bosch blue range, I started with the drill driver with 2 4amp batteries for 150 then bought the grinder bare for 90 then got the multi tool for 150 all from screwfix then bought 3 5amp batteries on eBay

Battery grinder ok for doing small bathroom floors etc where it’s all about speed and time efficient but I prefer corded for lots of cutting.

Corded ones are balanced better, have a look at the Metabo grinder as this has a swivelling battery that can be turned to help with balance depending on the angle of your cutting/grinding. Not cheap mind you.

It’s something I have considered but, i can see it encouraging me to just make that little cut, without a mask, indoors, etc.

Av still got my old Bosch 14.4v cordless , replaced batteries a few times over the years , had it for 15 years.......you can still get it occasionally on e bay.... Great for dressing & small checks etc, even the odd kitchen splash, always handy to have one as a secondary grinder,

Hilti is by far the best cordless grinder that i've used. They are very expensive but just as good as a corded one. I had one rented for 3 yrs and i never used a corded grinder while i had it and i never had any problem whatsoever within the 3yrs, I didnt even have to replace the brushes as it was a brushless model. I've burned out 2 makita cordless in the past 2yrs but luckily screwfix replaced them free of charge...... When my present cordless Makita burns out I'll defnitely go back to Hilti......

Do Hilti still have a lifetime guarantee

Not sure about lifetime guarartee mate but they are bloody expensive...... I think the 22v one with 2 batteries and charger is approx £750.00
