Cordless Angle Grinders

Sounds good, Gazz.

But when I went to

http://www.milwaukeetool.com/tools/metalworking-and-grinders/grinders/small-angle-grinders

...all the units shown were corded.

Have you a modle number?

Cheers.

John - I got mine in a combo set with an impact driver for $800 on "special" at Gasweld in Sth Australia. I'm pretty sure it's a HD18AG-32C There is also a
-0C and a -18C I think. These are a bit more light weight and obviously a lot cheaper ( around $300 with battery ) There is a 32C on ebay for $500 plus delivery. There must be someone in WA who sells them for you to look at. If buying off ebay DON'T buy the American models as you need an adaptor to charge them. Quick search on the net says they come with a 5 year Australia wide warranty. A builder mate of mine has every Milwaukee cordless tool available and with all the interchangable batteries and 3 chargers he can work all day without using a power tool and swears by Milwaukee !

Hope this helps

Do you know who makes Milwaukee, AEG and Ryobi power tools?

YEP - they are all made in China !!

"YEP - they are all made in China !!"
Sure are by Ryobi

One thing to look at with the Ryobi cordless grinder that you looked at is it doesn't come with a battery or charger and this adds to the cost considerably!

Cordless grinders are awesome in my experience, especially when fitted with a 1mm thick cutting wheel for slicing up roofing sheets etc, or even cutting through larger pieces of steel. If you use one for grinding or cutting with a thicker wheel, the battery life and power will be disspointing compared to a 240 volt grinder. BTW, I have a Makita 18volt LXT unit with a 3Ahr lithium battery but have used other brands and been equally impressed if you use them for light duty stuff.

Thanks Peter, I'll go down to Alltools tomorrow and have a shoofty.

You, too Chris. But the 'just under $300' was inclusive of battery and charger.

Cheers.

Metabo, though in a very different price bracket. Search youtube to see a video of one in use. german made.

Also double as a Master key for National Parks. LOL

A lock only keeps honest people out , your comments show how honest the pair of you are.

LOL means laugh out loud!
It was a joke????????????

Hey Alloy,

have you got a bit of S on the L today?

You've had a crack at Hairy on this Thread and vk1dx on the Winnebago Thread.

Time to go back to bed and get out on the right side this time....

Nope ,no S on L , just making a comment that even advocating with a LOL cutting a lock that you have no legal right to do so is a criminal act and should not be encouraged even in jest , as for the Winnebago thread ? DUH , pointing out that the vehicles are fiberglass and NOT metal means I,m having a dig at vk1dx ? Yeah right.

Thanks Paul.

Cheers.
