 very nice cordless grinder October 5, 2007
Joseph M. Cone (thibodaux, louisiana United States)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
i own quite few 18v lithium ion makita tools and this grinder is one that i really appreciate. after reading other reviews, i wonder who would buy this with expectations of it performing on the same level as a corded model? i do a lot of interior steel stud framing and i use this grinder to cut the heads off of concrete anchors and to notch light gauge steel. this cordless grinder is GREAT for that and has a lot more torque than i expected. keep in mind that i understand tools and i know that having cordless convenience means some trade offs. it will stall out if i get stupid with it...but i use it for convenience and i know to take lighter cuts with it and to go slower than i would with a big corded unit. this thing is impressive and it will do a lot. i used it to sharpen lawn mower blades and it was great for that. i can also use it to cut thru chain links and small bolts and items that are away from electricity and would be difficult to run an extension cord to. it's a grat tool that can do a lot if you take your time and go slow on bigger tasks.
Very well built tool November 6, 2006

This is a very handy tool. Works great. I use it very often and can't really complain about it. It kind of goes through the batteries a little quicker than most of the LTX tools. Or maybe what I should say is that it requires a more charged battery. In other words once the battery is down so far it doesn't run this tool very well. But please understand that I usually am grinding off 3/4 inch stainless steel bolts or something of that nature. It's still awesome and great for just about any job.

its handy to have- cuts bolts easily and fits hands well. it kills batteries a little quick, but its not really intended for heavy duty use. if you're into the makita system already, this is a good product. if not, then i'd consider the real expensive milwaukee
A Most Useful Tool July 21, 2010
C. Buck (Pasadena CA)
I install custom cabinets, and I must lug a bunch of tools around to each job. Therefore, the wieght versus usefulness of each tool is something I consider carefully. This tool has quickly become one of my essential tools. I no longer need to carry a belt sander to sand scribe edges, the grinder with a coarse sanding disk does that almost as well. It often saves the day because it can cut the materials my wood tools can't. When I need to cut steel - a bolt, a closet pole - I just pop a metal cutting disk on it. If I need to cut tile or stone or concrete - on goes the diamond blade and the job is done. It does use batteries quickly, but that's not a problem - I carry five in my bag and one is always on the charger. Now that I have figured it out, I find the red warning light quite useful. It goes on to warn you when the battery is getting low or you are overloading the motor - like pushing thr blade too hard or not cutting straight when cutting through metal. When the red light goes on it also releasews the switch lock if you have it on. This helps me remember to use the tool in such a way that the battery will last longer. For me, this tool was a great investment!
Great Grinder August 15, 2009
Randall Carlson (Near San Francisco)
I've had a Makita XLT kit for about a year now, and there have been several occasions when I really wished that I could just snap an 18-volt battery on a portable grinder and do a small job. Finally, when my wife wasn't looking, I decided to pull the trigger--and am I glad I did. I used it immediately to cut through a metal sink drain (Think: water), a situation where a saw was clumsy and a 110v grinder would be folly. Fast and powerful cutting!
I would not recommend this tool for heavy-duty, repetitive work, but smaller for jobs it is convenient and more than adequate.
