Deal Details
First time poster so go easy on me. This is for the M18 Fuel Grinder with the variable speed & SLIDE switch. Some people (like me) prefer the slide over paddle. To get this price, you must select the OTHER grinder as your free tool along with this grinder (and then obviously return the one you don't want). I know it sounds confusing but just remember this at check out. This slide lock version RARELY goes on sale, so if you've been waiting for it now is your chance. Model # 2889-20

Well damn I just got the paddle version just a few days ago from the other deal. I have a corded grinder with the slide switch and I prefer that style aa well. I already marked it all up nice and ugly with nail polish too. Oh well, I dont hardly ever have use for a grinder anyway but I cant pass up a decent deal....

I may actually just want both grinders, the rapid stop on the other seems nice

Same. I literally just picked up the 2888-20 this morning from another deal that was available yesterday ($125). I can finally use wire brushes without sending wires flying into orbit!

FWIW, as another poster already mentioned, this 2889-20 is the 'slide switch' version and the 2888-20 is the paddle switch version.


Edit: If you want the paddle version, it's been in/out of stock recently: https://slickdeals.net/f/17380356-m18-fuel-18v-hackzall-reciprocating-saw-kit-with-carbide-teeth-ax-sawzall-blade-and-5-0-battery-and-charger-hacked-125-24

Why can't they make the flathead grinder with variable speed I do wonder though.

Honda s2000 upper control arm mounts pulling away sure could use the feature for wire wheeling the ecoating preparing for welding

It was... but it's also dead now (as of last night)

Edit: It's actually available again, seems to be in/out of stock.

I've been so busy these deals keep passing me up, as long as it's under $150 it's an godsend for me. Been window shopping and sighing at myself for weeks

That deal appears to be completely dead. But this one has the variable speed paddle grinder for about $10 more via the hack

Great grinder. Soft start, quick stop and well balanced. I have no idea how people get by with the paddle versions. SO awkward.

This is a crazy good deal. Nothing will ever beat out a makita variable speed, but this is a great deal on a cordless. Save your cut guy a trip outside
