I just got a Fuel grinder and it kicks ass I used it to sharpen my lawnmower blade this week. I also just cut up random pieces for steel just for fun. Great review Ozzieies!!
Milwaukee tools are good for plumbers or electricians but for metal framers or other trades that they work with hard materials makita is the best, good prices and they last for ever, also the battery, love milwaukee accesories but those fuel batteries won last on hard labor
I feel like Makita have gotten much cheaper in quality. Mikwaukee is superb. I agree with their batteries though, they dont last long even the high output ones 6.0ah plus, the run time is disappointing
I have just killed the first makita brushless, using it every day for over a year cutting concrete... bought another one straight away because this thing makes me money...
Yes they fixed it sweet and fast, now i have two full time hard working grinders sharing the load. It was the bearing that was busted... so if you feel that its spinning rough its the rotor rubbing and will need new bearing... should be diy easy fix even after warranty i guess
Just seen 3 Milwaukee batery 1 skill saw 1 impact in 4 mount of use they all die. I use makita and i do the same job . Still running awesome . The 36 volt circular saw is insanne .
I got the makita 18 V drill and impact driver combo at Sydney tools, makita do a redemption now where u get the paddle version for free, not bad plus the makita road show weekend gave me $100 voucher so got a 3 AH battery to with it, great deal redemption on until Dec. great review guys
Im just beginning to finally come to the conclusion that battery tools of today may just be worth switching over from electric. I know the drills are definitely worth it, but are the battery operated grinders worth it? I use metabo and makita electric grinders for heavy use. Cutting a lot of rebar and saw cutting/scoring decorative cuts in concrete. Are these battery operated grinders going to be as powerful and long lasting as an electric? I run all my grinders without the guard and handle. Does the guard come off of these easy or are they permanent attached? If they are then I won't be buying one
mojo jojo YES YES YES they are worth it.... you won't look back mate. They are seriously tough these days. And regarding the guard... leave it on. It's not worth a missing finger. (Mike)
Yeah this toggle and safety switch on these new grinders are worse than the old ones imo. The old safety switch as you mentioned was better operated going the opposite way and the toggle switch was thicker making it easier to switch on with your fingers and also maintain. Prefer the old switches to these new ones. Would rather have a slide on/off switch than this new paddle switch which i think they do actually make now. Also It actually weighs more than the old one too (i weighed it). And when your cutting sideways one handed the safety switch and paddle switch are very akward to use. Have to use the opposite hand to deactivate safety switch and the meat of the paddle switch is higher up and is not great for one handed cutting sideways, again the old one much better and can be operated with one hand. Great video review guys !
Great review guys. I've got the older, brushed Milwaukee grinder and the paddle trigger isn't too bad. I use it one handed for cutting. Seems silly they changed the design. Have you used the Metabo cordless grinder yet?? That thing is an animal!
short tipp. the new milwaukee m18 fuel grinder you cam get it with 2 variants of switch on. this you have and a second with the same switch like the makita.
oh ok, that's not so nice from milwaukee so maybe I woud call it damm stupid. but, i now this problem in germany. some tolls are not in programm oder they came a lot of month later than in us.
Werkzeugnutzer People should get used to the paddle switch because it is a lot safer. Say something like a hoodie string gets caught in a grinder, the grinder will walk up the string and it can kill you. With the paddle switch, just let go and it shuts off and will do less damage to you. The switched one will keep going. And since these are so powerful they won't stall out. Many people have died from neck injuries this way.
XRA1D I know would you will say about the safty of the paddle and it ist true, I also have the paddle version but the "old" brushed motor but this is not the point. it was only the the businessway i don't understand. why they have 2 versions of a tool if they don't sale it all of the world the same time oder the same speck, you know what i mean?some things like a string of a hoodie you don't alowed to wear in germany on work with maschines, because of the dangerous on this thinks it is forbidden to use from an german organisation it is called "BG" Berufsgenossenschaft or translated somethink like (German) employer's liability insurance association.
Ok, forget about the hoodie string getting caught in it, say you're using a wire wheel, the grinder jumps, touches your clothing, and then it will do some serious damage to you. There are more than one instance. And yes it's stupid that they don't sell all of the same versions in different countries but I think the switch style ones should not be allowed to be sold anymore. It's a big safety issue. Shop inspectors should treat the swtiched grinders like a grinder without a guard on it because both are dangerous. I've had a wire wheel jump on me, it didn't catch on my clothing but I said "Damn, I need to get a paddle switched grinder so it would turn off when it gets pulled out of my hands and I let go.
a switch version is available for the milwaukee and in the uk the warranty is 3 years for the milwaukee battery and still only 1 year for the makita battery
Here in the states we can get the Milwaukee with a paddle or top switch. I have to agree the top switch is the way to go for myself. I picked one up a while ago and my corded ones never see the light of day. Great review guys.
Oz Tool Talk hi Mike, I've had it since about August time and it's got us out the dodo a few times to be honest really rate the tool so much so I brought my brother in law one for Xmas he is a tractor fitter and does a bit of welding on farms and he loves it.
Can the guards be removed from these? They just get in the way and I run all my grinders without the guard. I also like the switch on top..dont like paddle switches
mojo jojo Short answer is YES they can be removed but I'd REALLY advise against it. I'm no 'Mr.Safety' but it's dangerous mate. I agree it's annoying sometimes but leave the guard on.Regarding the paddle switch I am SLOWLY getting used to it but I do prefer the old style switch. (mike)
I work with my Milwaukee and solved the switch on issue , i know the paddle is built with safety in mind but i just put a thick rubber band when i want it on all the time and use the paddle when i only need it for a little bit , problem solved for me at least
(Dwain) really? We always found the brushes Makita gutless. Actually most brands brushed units were gutless (Metabo bring the most significant outlier to this rule)
I don't think that opening up and altering your tool is really something you want to do a lot. I think you rotate the top so that it suits what you do most of the time and be happy :)
Fantastic review guys ! 2 beasts it seems ! I'f you're on team Red you'll love the Fuel. If you're on team Teal you'll love the DGA504. Everyone gets a kick ass tool ^^
Another helpful video guys. One question I can't seem to answer or decide upon, is whether to go for a 4 1/2" (115mm) or a 5" (125mm). So close in dimensions, so why are both sizes available? Views and opinions?
@Fx451 jockey I wouldn't go anything else except 5" Not sure why 4.5" was ever bought out to be honest. But now all big brands have 5" and are absolute jets !
4.5" is a very common american size and therefore was the default for cordless tools for a time. But 5" a becoming more common now, and unless you can't get 5" discs easily, definitely get the 5".
You guys should test a makita tools torque/RPM, to me it seems there is a bump in power on my tools when used with a 4 amp hour battery,getting the 5 amps soon will see if there is enough of a difference to be noticeable
Yeah, I did some testing on this a while ago with my Dewalt tools. My circular saw and drill were unaffected by a switch from 2ah to 4ah batteries, but the impact driver saw a sizeable power boost. The ryobi 18V impact driver we're about to review also did the same thing. I'd like to see some more clariy about this from tool companies.
Hmm... the difference isn't huge and I am not sure its not just because the battery is newer with less degradation. .. maybe the 5.0 amp will have a significant difference
Aleks Russian yeah i think its more to do with how many batteries can be drawn upon simultaneously. the slims have 5 AA batteries, the fat batteries have 10. Unless the discharge rates have increased with the high capacity cells, its unlikely that a 5ah will be much/any better than the 4ah.
Being a welder/fabricator the discussion stops at the switch,really a no brainer... sometimes in awkward positions/tight spots you have to hold grinder in a variety of different ways and have used paddle or (deadman switch) and just not practical
Moe Hebous got ya 👍🏼 I am used to it now but I can understand using it all day how it would be impractical. Luckily most brands still offer both and for you guys hopefully it stay that way 👍🏼 Thanks for the input.(mike)
+Oz Tool Talk it's so annoying..... most guys can only afford one platform but each platform seems to have a dominant tool. me personally I just go makita 18v and hope for the best.
Agree but good choice, I went all in on Makita recently do not want to f around with 3-4 chargers and 10 batteries out on a job, all things considered though I don't think you can find a better middle grou8nd than Makita 18v. Point out a single manufacturer that consistently beat Makita on all accounts all the time? Sure I like the Fuels too and some Dewalts and work with Hilti every day cause my mate drag around his bags full of Hilti, if only one platform yeah I will take Makita over them all, just such a thgings as Milwaukee/Dewalt wobble chucks, or Dewalt batteries sitting real loose on the tools, Makita's also just feel like underrated all their tools and ergonomic is superior, Rugged, very high quality plastic and molds used to stamp out the bodies, smart simple solutions. Maybe not very exotic or good looking but trusted and feels very good to use.
Thanks Lovebaot92, it was a fun little dig at the TIA boys, they gave us a shout out the other day on ToolTalk16 but forgot my name ... i was shattered so i gave em one back :) They are good.
Tom Thumb how’s it going after a year?, I have all Makita kit but I’m looking at getting the Milwaukee angle grinder combo so I can have the best of both worlds so I’m looking for some feedback on the Milwaukee angle
i was going to get milwuakee combo and when i tried to hold the grinder in my hand i had to go for makita. Its kinda stupid funny that such a great tool can be ruined with such a thing... Its literally impossible to operate when cutting, u gotta twist your hand to keep the thing going and then no way you can cut precisely... I dont know how they could miss something like that,how hard can it be... Its not like they are manufacturing cars where you can make so many mistakes, justa few things to consider and they got it wrong...
well in fact they made two models and gave other parts of the world the choice of switch type! but they screwed Australia over and only gave us the paddle version :(
***** Here in the UK, we only have a switch type version of the Milwaukee available, no paddle version. However, one thing I noticed is that the switch version is only a 115mm (four and a half inch) grinder while the paddle switch version is a 125mm (five inch) grinder. I had to import the grinder mainly for getting the 5" version, the paddle switch does not bother me.
Precivilization (mike) VERY subjective topic lol. Hold that thought though because we have a MASSIVE grinder comparison coming in the next couple months. 7 grinders 🙌🏻🙌🏻
sorry for been such a jerk but in the video when you guys cut the bar , the disc cover is way grong set, is a minor thing but it makes a big difference.
Makita all the way for me. No idea why Milwaukee uses this paddle style switch. I'm sure some love it but think the majority like a trigger. I can't stand the paddle.
Come on with that crap man. If he likes it and it hasn’t failed him then it ain’t garbage. If you like your brand and have batteries in the platform then keep running them A T.
Grinder milwaukee problem.sistem kipas jenis sedot habok.baru buat keja 2 ari keja potong2 atap.sekali bukak 100 dari depan sampai belakang penoh habok potong atap.sistem kipas dinamo milwaukee👎👎👎.keja2 potong besi kurang habok.buat keja potongan atap genting atap bistos potong mozet buat habok banyak.
hope you bros don't get into trouble because you said "girlie's hands". won't be long before you get the social justice warriors on here giving you trouble. cheers from London.
So is Milwaukee and more or less all important parts inside that "assembled in the US Dewalt's" so many still seem very confused about, but that was the idea was it not? Make people think they are US tools? Makita have got tools made or at least assembled in a range of countries though including Romania, Vietnam etc...
Alex Leung I agree. I don't think people understand that quality doesn't always go out the door.. makitas have been made in China for years and all their tools are bulletproof except the new Japan made impacts..it's all good though I know my quality from use and will always have better tools than the fan boys
Naomi .... if you are talking about Makitas old model thwn i agree with you. We reviewed Makitas latest and greatest at the time..... 5". Check online and you will find we did get our information correct. And we were using it so can promise you its a 5".

GREAT to hear.
People often ask about longevity which we struggle to do. So to hear that from a tradie that's impressive 👍🏼
indeed
wouldnt warranty it after 1 year?
Yes they fixed it sweet and fast, now i have two full time hard working grinders sharing the load. It was the bearing that was busted... so if you feel that its spinning rough its the rotor rubbing and will need new bearing... should be diy easy fix even after warranty i guess
Just seen 3 Milwaukee batery 1 skill saw 1 impact in 4 mount of use they all die.
I use makita and i do the same job . Still running awesome .
The 36 volt circular saw is insanne .
I got the makita 18 V drill and impact driver combo at Sydney tools, makita do a redemption now where u get the paddle version for free, not bad plus the makita road show weekend gave me $100 voucher so got a 3 AH battery to with it, great deal redemption on until Dec. great review guys
[Dwain] that was such a good deal that I posted it on my personal facebook page.
Thanks for the positive feedback guys. Great reveiw aswell. We have the Milwaukee Brushless Grinder here, works a treat.
thanks for your support.
Register Makita online and they upgrade the warranty to 5 years and record all Ur s/no...1st July 2020... Au.
hey, you guys didn't mention the anti battery vibration feature on the makita. ! that is really important!
The switch to me is everything on a grinder. I am not a fan of the paddle switch. Good review guys!
Pretty much agree, but damn the Milwaukee is awesome is every other way!
Paddle switch for precision cuts. Switch for cutting shit that demand holding the switch for longer period.
Im just beginning to finally come to the conclusion that battery tools of today may just be worth switching over from electric. I know the drills are definitely worth it, but are the battery operated grinders worth it? I use metabo and makita electric grinders for heavy use.

Have you used the Metabo cordless grinder yet?? That thing is an animal!
which metabo? 18 or 36v?
Thanks for the TIA should out guys!! You guys deserve a TIA flsahmob now!!
No worries, we owe TIA a lot! I've never actually bothered to ask what that means though?
Anyone have problems with the. Milwaukee one? Heard about battery and motor problems
Great video ! Good seeing a comparison between these absolute pigs of grinders ! I own the milwaukee and has never let me down !
Thanks Jacob.
short tipp. the new milwaukee m18 fuel grinder you cam get it with 2 variants of switch on. this you have and a second with the same switch like the makita.
yeah we know, thanks! In AUS unfortunately only the paddle version is available :(
oh ok, that's not so nice from milwaukee so maybe I woud call it damm stupid. but, i now this problem in germany. some tolls are not in programm oder they came a lot of month later than in us.

+david appleton And a paddle version is available on the Makita.
I do like milwaukees darker grey on the top metal section. Even black would be cool. Makita looks better to me overall
+Jacob Hendrickson these are two sexy, testosterone filled tools!
If you are buying tools for the look you missed the point of tools
Here in the states we can get the Milwaukee with a paddle or top switch. I have to agree the top switch is the way to go for myself. I picked one up a while ago and my corded ones never see the light of day. Great review guys.
Really?! A FUEL grinder with a switch on top might have been my favourite cordless tool. What a monster...
***** check it out www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2781-22
regopit44 Very very jealous. C'mon Milwaukee, give us Aussies this version too!
I've got the makita with a paddle switch cracking tool
Adam Lynch good the hear MATE. How long have you had it ? (Mike)
Oz Tool Talk hi Mike, I've had it since about August time and it's got us out the dodo a few times to be honest really rate the tool so much so I brought my brother in law one for Xmas he is a tractor fitter and does a bit of welding on farms and he loves it.
Adam Lynch well I'm not sure we could add much to that story... awesome news and a great recommendation 👍🏼
Cheers mate. (Mike)
This was a very good presented comparison. good work fellows
thanks
I use my Bosch cordless grinder for cutting. So the Bosch got it right with the switch for me.
agreed.
Can the guards be removed from these? They just get in the way and I run all my grinders without the guard. I also like the switch on top..dont like paddle switches

tank101 TEXAS47 shuld not have to have a rubber band on hand just to keep your grinder on.
@@tommybokelman5565 nobody use a grinder just for one task mate. Some like it to use it for delicate work and not strip or burn the material.
use both the brushed and brushless Makitas for work, when cutting sheet metal I always go for the brushed one the extra rpm make a difference.
(Dwain) really? We always found the brushes Makita gutless. Actually most brands brushed units were gutless (Metabo bring the most significant outlier to this rule)
Nice job. Great to see some Milwaukee. Cant beat there warranty.
Cheers Gregory!
Gregory Bigeni AEG has a 6 year warranty. I've got Milwaukee Fuel's though.
Great review! One remark: At least across the pond Makita gives 2 years warranty on the battery.
[Dwain] yep things have changes since this video!
Oh dear, I totally ignored the time stamp on that one :D
check out the grinder comparison that's only 4 days old! ;)
That one I saw the minute it got released ;)
Those Pferd rounded Polyfans look mad! Definitely want/need some of those!
very useful thanks
Does the switch on the Makita matter when you can rotate the top of the silver housing?
I don't think that opening up and altering your tool is really something you want to do a lot. I think you rotate the top so that it suits what you do most of the time and be happy :)
Made in Japan available in eBay sometime but you have to quick. Nothing written on English it's all Japanese and that's the true Japanese machine.
Fantastic review guys ! 2 beasts it seems !
I'f you're on team Red you'll love the Fuel. If you're on team Teal you'll love the DGA504.
Everyone gets a kick ass tool ^^
well said Dominic :)
Another helpful video guys. One question I can't seem to answer or decide upon, is whether to go for a 4 1/2" (115mm) or a 5" (125mm). So close in dimensions, so why are both sizes available? Views and opinions?
@Fx451 jockey
I wouldn't go anything else except 5"
Not sure why 4.5" was ever bought out to be honest.
But now all big brands have 5" and are absolute jets !
+Oz Tool Talk cheers for the reply. I think the 115mm is more popular here, but going for the 5".
4.5" is a very common american size and therefore was the default for cordless tools for a time. But 5" a becoming more common now, and unless you can't get 5" discs easily, definitely get the 5".
125 mm.
I think the Milwaukee 2781-20or 22 has a switch. if you did not know . good film guys. I like the clip. gman
You guys should test a makita tools torque/RPM, to me it seems there is a bump in power on my tools when used with a 4 amp hour battery,getting the 5 amps soon will see if there is enough of a difference to be noticeable
Yeah, I did some testing on this a while ago with my Dewalt tools. My circular saw and drill were unaffected by a switch from 2ah to 4ah batteries, but the impact driver saw a sizeable power boost.

Aleks Russian yeah i think its more to do with how many batteries can be drawn upon simultaneously. the slims have 5 AA batteries, the fat batteries have 10. Unless the discharge rates have increased with the high capacity cells, its unlikely that a 5ah will be much/any better than the 4ah.
Being a welder/fabricator the discussion stops at the switch,really a no brainer... sometimes in awkward positions/tight spots you have to hold grinder in a variety of different ways and have used paddle or (deadman switch) and just not practical
Moe Hebous got ya 👍🏼
I am used to it now but I can understand using it all day how it would be impractical. Luckily most brands still offer both and for you guys hopefully it stay that way 👍🏼
Thanks for the input.(mike)
can you put a metabo brushless grinder in that mix too.
+Gary Doolan would have been great to compare it also. I've read that Metabo's brushed grinder beats the FUEL, and imagine the BL will too...
+Oz Tool Talk it's so annoying..... most guys can only afford one platform but each platform seems to have a dominant tool. me personally I just go makita 18v and hope for the best.

man ... fucking good review u both never sided just to one brand ,,,,, can u please do a vid of the dtw1002 makita wrench :)
[Dwain] thanks Blondie Locks. We will certainly review the DTW1002 wrench if we get a chance! Makita isn't the easiest brand to get hold of for us...
okay thanks just dont see many vids of it and none from aussie people thats all
do you have a disc for cutting wood same rpm or is it possible to put a arthur brand to any brands of angle grinder?is it safe?
+arnel arce i believe there is such a product around, I've just never played with one myself...
Love tools in action. It's Dan and Eric. Lol.
Thanks Lovebaot92, it was a fun little dig at the TIA boys, they gave us a shout out the other day on ToolTalk16 but forgot my name ... i was shattered so i gave em one back :) They are good.
No problem. I thought it might be a dig at them. lol.
Anyone else have a small delay in paddle trigger ( fuel 18v grinder) after fully depressed before motor starts. Extremely annoying.
Tom Thumb how’s it going after a year?, I have all Makita kit but I’m looking at getting the Milwaukee angle grinder combo so I can have the best of both worlds so I’m looking for some feedback on the Milwaukee angle
i was going to get milwuakee combo and when i tried to hold the grinder in my hand i had to go for makita. Its kinda stupid funny that such a great tool can be ruined with such a thing...

Haha i thought it was a bit rude when tia forgot there name, but this makes up for it..
haha, we were a bit cheeky 'forgetting' Dan's name ;)
Dwain OTT : anybody use the.dust.collector vacuums for the grinders they look pretty dope..wondering how efficient they really are..??
[Dwain] nah haven't seen them. sounds cool.
What about battery life?
Precivilization (mike) VERY subjective topic lol.
Hold that thought though because we have a MASSIVE grinder comparison coming in the next couple months.
7 grinders 🙌🏻🙌🏻
sorry for been such a jerk but in the video when you guys cut the bar , the disc cover is way grong set, is a minor thing but it makes a big difference.
[Dwain] yeah we clearly didn't bother moving it after the grinding. Good call.
Ya'll talk funny.
David Spin everyone else has the accents... We talk normal 👍🏼😜 lol (mike)
Says the guy from Scottland....🤣🤣🤣
Makita all the way for me. No idea why Milwaukee uses this paddle style switch. I'm sure some love it but think the majority like a trigger. I can't stand the paddle.
+Jacob Hendrickson Makita do this model in both the standard switch and paddle dead man switch versions.
need the paddle for alot of mine sites
yeah we need both. but wish Milwaukee brought the switch version to Australia too...
they make the paddle switch because it's a safety requirement on most mine sights to have it.
Most big construction sites won't let you use a Grinder without a deadman switch
Yeah ya ya know man ya ya ya ya! Lol like wtf?? Pick one!
I bought me a kobalt brushless grinder.
A T How do you like it ? (mike)
Oz Tool Talk I love how it handles. I wanted the porter cable , but I already had a battery for the kobalt.
Come on with that crap man. If he likes it and it hasn’t failed him then it ain’t garbage. If you like your brand and have batteries in the platform then keep running them A T.

Bla bla bla
Makita is made in china, had one at Work lasted 1 minute and died
most tools are made in China. And every brand has faulty products. But it sucks when you're the one to receive it...
So is Milwaukee and more or less all important parts inside that "assembled in the US Dewalt's" so many still seem very confused about, but that was the idea was it not? Make people think they are US tools? Makita have got tools made or at least assembled in a range of countries though including Romania, Vietnam etc...
no more milwaukee for me since they are now made in china.
Nowadays everything sold in America is made in China.....bought a makita drill bits guess what made in china..
Both my milwaukee impact drivers are made in Germany
Alex Leung I agree. I don't think people understand that quality doesn't always go out the door.. makitas have been made in China for years and all their tools are bulletproof except the new Japan made impacts..it's all good though I know my quality from use and will always have better tools than the fan boys
@@danzigg3690 ...so the impacts that are made in japan are crap???
22lrTacticoolGuy Makita is a japanese brand
makita is a 4 1/2 inch not 5 inch. come on man get your info right if your doing a review
Naomi .... if you are talking about Makitas old model thwn i agree with you. We reviewed Makitas latest and greatest at the time..... 5".
Check online and you will find we did get our information correct. And we were using it so can promise you its a 5".
[Dwain the brushless Makita was released elsewhere as both 4.5" and 5" I believe. In Australia, only 5" I think, ours was definitely a 5".
