Is this grinder good for cutting metal?

Yes, for light work. The 19,500 rpm brushed motor and six included cutting discs handle thin metal, bolts and sheet, but it is slower than a corded grinder on thick stock.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on load. The single 2000mAh battery gives short bursts of cutting or grinding; heavy continuous use will drain it quickly, and there is no second battery in the box.

Does it come with discs and a charger?

Yes. The kit includes the grinder, six cutting wheels, a charger and a pair of gloves. It does not include a case.

Can I use standard 4-1/2 inch discs?

The kit ships with its own cutting wheels, and the spindle lock makes swapping discs tool-free. Check the disc size and arbor marked on the tool before buying replacements.

How does it compare with a brushless cordless grinder?

A brushless grinder runs longer per charge and the motor lasts longer, but it usually costs more. This brushed model is a simpler, lighter-duty option for occasional jobs.

Is it safe to use one-handed?

The rubberized handle is shaped for one-hand use, but grinders kick back. Use two hands where you can and wear the included gloves and eye protection.

Our take on the Avid Power Cordless Brush Angle Grinder Kit 16.8V

The Avid Power Cordless Brush Angle Grinder Kit is a 16.8V handheld grinder with a 2000mAh lithium-ion battery, a brushed motor rated at 19,500 rpm, and six cutting discs in the box. It is aimed at light cutting and grinding on metal and wood where a cord would get in the way, and its spindle lock and self-locking switch make disc changes tool-free. Against corded grinders it trades sustained power for portability, and against brushless cordless rivals it gives up runtime and motor life. It suits occasional jobs and small spaces rather than continuous heavy work.
