Milwaukee 11 Amp Corded 4-1/2 in. Small Angle Grinder Paddle Lock-On

Nice

I’ve been using this grinder to cut tile for out bathroom for sections that are a little more complicated and it was been working really well, with the right cutting wheel. I’ve used this to cut the tile for the toilet mount and for floor vents without cracking or chipping tile. I don’t get bad vibrations that cause tile to break, it cuts smooth without issue. Changing the cutting wheel to a grinder is fast and simple as well and not overly complicated.

This is a very powerful angle grinder that’s easy to handle. A handle can be screwed on either side and is easy to change sides or remove if you need to. Blades are easy to change as well.The guard is easy to reposition in 5 different spots without tools. The instructions weren’t very clear to me on how to install the guard but actually trying it, it wasn’t too hard to figure out.I like the design of the paddle switch. It’s easy to use even with heavy gloves. The slimmer grip I find easier to handle.This version comes with a trigger lock, another variant doesn’t. Some people like grinders without a lock for safety reasons. I found that my thumb was just out of reach of the lock button so I wasn’t accidentally locking the grinder on. I don’t have particularly small hands. Maybe I was holding the grinder slightly differently but I liked that.

Powerful grinder. Very pleased.

Very nice grinder

Excellent

Sturdy, powerful grinder

The Milwaukee 11 Amp Corded 4-1/2 in. Small Angle Grinder With Paddle Lock-On is just what I was looking for for doing some grinding on my solar panel mounts. Working on the solar panel mount left sharp edges after all my metal cuts. Using the grinding wheel let me round the edges off to make it safer. The grinder is easy to use and fits well in your hand. This model has a lock to lock the paddle in the on position. Thats a nice feature for those long grinding jobs. Changing out grinding wheels is also easy to do. There is a button that you push in to lock the wheel and the supplied tool lets you loosen the locking nut. There is also a handle that you can put on the left or right side for more control of your grinder. I am happy with this grinder.

Great tool, plenty of power, feels heavy duty. Only dinged it one star cause the head on the unit gets pretty hot with continuous use. Other than that another great Milwaukee tool!

This is my first Milwaukee tool, but it wont be my last!It’s really a quality tool, very heavy duty and lives up to the Milwaukee reputation of making great tools. I used it this weekend on a tile job with a diamond cutting blade and as a grinder to smooth out the welds before I painted the firewood rack I built from angle Iron. Both jobs were accomplished with ease.But speaking of grinding and cutting, don’t forget to buy the blades you need as none come with this tool.The tool itself is actually quite heavy and feels like quality in your hands.One thing I did notice is that the Home Depot and Milwaukee websites lists it a 11,000 RPM’s but on the tool itself its listed as 12,000 RPM.Milwaukee give you a full 5 year warranty on the tool.
