    I always worry about battery tools regarding the power and charge life especially with a grinder that would eat the juice. Would be alright to do the old toenails though.

    I have a few of the Makita 18V Li-ion tools Dave Good gear mate, but like Sandy says I would be apprehensive about splashing out on a grinder one

    Would deffo get one though if someone else had tried it out first

    gooner,

    you can buy the angle grinder as a bare unit for around £90 , so if you already have makita gear ie lxt lithium ion range, then your away
