Reviewer: Alfred vinciguerra Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Tight spaces Review: Great for tight spaces. Works great as a Cutoff wheel tool but you’ll need a soft touch for grinding because it will shut off when pushed. Reviewer: Andrew Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Manage your expectations Review: I am an industrial mechanic (think oil rigs, oil refineries, power plants, etc), it is a fast paced, heavy duty environment. The idea of a cordless die grinder has always been alluring to me given the sometimes remote areas I work in.This is an excellent product. The RPMs (0 - 21,000) are governable depending on how much you squeeze the trigger, which is nice for carbide burr bits, and the tool is light weight and easy to manipulate.I saw in previous reviews that people are having difficulty inserting quarter inch accessories into the collet. This is typical with new die grinders and gets easier over time. Unscrewing the collet just a little more will allow the bit to be inserted. I also saw that some people were having trouble removing a bit, that is the point of what is quite frankly a dangerous tool. Smacking the collet with the provided wrench after loosening it, releases the bit. This is true for every die grinder.All this said. This is not a heavy duty tool, however, DIYers or hobbyists would love it. If you're imagining a pneumatic die grinder that you've used in the past, you will be disappointed. Under heavy duty loads (cutting through greater than 1/16 inch metal with a cut off wheel, pressing firmly into a work piece with a carbide burr) the tool does bog down and sometimes stall. This tool is for light applications, if you're OK with that, this tool will serve you well and you'll enjoy using it.

Good value, power, battery life, and easy to use! Great little tool for trimming and small grinding jobs! Reviewer: Deadeye Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Variable speed trigger. Review: Great price, went to dealer and questioned if it was variable speed trigger and was told by sales rep that it was not. I just tried it and yes the trigger is variable speed on each of the 3 speed settings. It works great. Reviewer: Joseph B Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars Title: Convenient but has cheap switch Review: works well but for heavy use the switch wears out fast. Milwaukee warrantied it but still a hassle Reviewer: Diane Johnson Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: I received what I ordered. Review: Great product and received it in a timely manner. Reviewer: Brian C. Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars Title: Important info/step to use. Review: Haven’t used it yet, but tried to test it and couldn’t get a 1/4” mandrel to fit. I fought with it awhile and was getting frustrated and didn’t look at the instructions. I went to YouTube and found a review video that explained my issue. If the cylinder clamp and nut are two separate pieces (as mine were) it will not work. Remove the cylinder clamp and push it up into the nut until it clicks and stays. Once I did this, my 1/4” mandrel fit like it should. Having three separate dedicated/set rpm settings should come in handy compared to my Ingersol Rand air powered units.
