Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2785-20

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2785-20 is a cordless 4-1/2 to 5-inch angle grinder built on the M18 18V battery platform. It runs a brushless POWERSTATE motor with a variable-speed dial and reaches up to 6,600 RPM, with a tool-free guard and a rapid-stop brake option on the FUEL line. It suits welders, fabricators and trade users who want corded-class cutting and grinding without a cord. Against corded grinders it trades unlimited runtime for portability; against cheaper brushed cordless grinders it offers more power and longer motor life, at a higher tool cost and with no battery in the box.

Questions and answers

Does the 2785-20 come with a battery?
No. It is a bare tool, so you need an M18 18V battery and charger separately.
What size wheels does it take?
It accepts 4-1/2-inch and 5-inch wheels, with a maximum of about 4.9 inches.
Is it variable speed?
Yes. A dial sets the speed, with a maximum of 6,600 RPM.
Does it have a brake?
The 2785-20 does not include the rapid-stop brake; Milwaukee's braking grinder is a separate model.
Is it worth it over a corded grinder?
If you work away from outlets or already own M18 batteries, the portability and power justify it. For constant heavy shop use, a corded grinder gives unlimited runtime.

At Ace Hardware, for $349.00, as of our latest check.
