Do you guys think this is much superior to the Ryobi ONE+ brushless 4.5" grinder I picked up yesterday from DTO? Thanks

The biggest deciding factor would likely be which system do you already have tools for? Milwaukee M18 or Ryobi One?

As the previous reply said, go with whatever platform you are on.
Assuming both platforms are the same to you, I would go with a cheaper tools and spend more money on the wheels/blades/bits

I bought this yesterday and was surprised the deal didn't get more attention. Bare tool the grinder is usually $199.99 so getting a 5AH battery with it for nearly $50 less seemed like a great deal.

I will add that the grinder is great. I use it all the time as a heavy equipment mechanic and it hasn't let me down yet. Definitely recommend especially at this price.

I bought this deal (different price with the 2 5ah batteries) about 6 weeks ago but decided to return it and go with the DeWalt brand with the Yellow tip, since in some YouTube reviews it was a bit better plus power detect, if I recall correctly. Regardless, like the previous commentary, I'd go with what platform u already have, I have both mustard and ketchup brands in my collection. Good deal, regardless

If you aren't overly familiar with grinders make sure you note this Is a paddle switch model, with no way to lock it on, which gets tiring (At least for me) when doing a lot of grinding. Milwaukee also makes a slide switch model which is the right way to go in my opinion.

its an older fuel;its not worth $200 even when other brands have brushless for cheaper

m18 has 7/9" that is much better but you cant use smaller disks as well

How can you tell it's an model vs newer. Is this just this tool or all the fuel line has newer and older models

They haven't released a new one for years they only added

Not saying it's bad but don't think you are saving much buy anchoring that it was selling for $200 tool only

I was wondering about this. I noticed they make a few models of grinders. I've always had the slide switch and wondered about the lever
