    I have the Dewalt angle grinder 18v it is ok but the battery life is really bad even with three batterys they could not keep up with me on the job. Seems if you charge the batterys quite often in the day they seem to take longer to charge.

    So would I buy one if I knew what I do now = nope will stick to my Makita battery wet cutter it does what I ask and lasts longer than the Dewalt for battery life but cannot be compared as a like for like comparison.

    A long heavy duty extension and a multi-port end is way cheaper than a good cordless, and you still need a plug to charge your batteries in any case.

    I have a 18v Dewalt. very good and very handy. I am not one for using angle grinders on big jobs anyway but they are very good for small things, snagging and small kitchens with little sockets, etc.
