They love tossing in a single brushed tool in these kits so they can sprinkle the wored brushless all over the place. One single tool is brushless. They manage to mention it 6 times.

Thank you OP for posting this deal which led me to explore other tool deals. I was in the market to buy a reciprocating saw to cut some pipes. I was contemplating the Harbor Freight deal today with their Hercules saw, battery and charger for $99. But checking out your deal I found many Milwaukee products on sale today at Home Depot. I found M18 18V Lithium-Ion Cordless SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw with M18 Starter Kit (1) 5.0Ah Battery and Charger on sale for $149. With my military discount, $134.

Cutting metal with cutoff wheels, grinding metal with regular abrasive wheels or cup stones, removing rust/paint/etc with a wire wheel. Crazy dangerous tool though, use a face shield along with safety glasses, and avoid gloves around the rotating tool head.

Just counting the number of special trademarked FEATures™ alone makes this an outstanding value! Plus that little purse is killer, lol!

I have been looking to get a few Milwaukee tools, currently have similar tools for most of these with ryobi. What would I need an angle grinder for?

That angle grinder is pretty much junk, can't speak to the rest of it but not worth getting the non-fuel version of the grinder, have had both and even the fuel isn't as strong as I'd like when using for big jobs. Just get a corded version of you're a homeowner who will rarely use it anyway.

What the other guy said, but I RARELY use mine. You can get one at Harbor Freight for around $10-$15 for when you need one and it will do the job. It is the one tool where a nice one won't make much of a difference over a cheap one if you only use it occasionally. Maybe if you use it for your job, then get the Milwaukee.

The other tool in this set that most are unlikely to use (unless you work on cars) is the impact d̶r̶i̶v̶e̶r̶ wrench. If that's the case, then just find a better combo deal or get the tools piecemeal on sale (they often have drill and driver combos on sale with battery and charger).

I also have Ryobi and I also own Milwaukee. The Milwaukee are definitely better, but for the weekend warrior, it might not be a big enough difference to get into a whole new ecosystem.

my suggestion is to wait for a brushless kit if you are going to bother to upgrade..

But honestly (and this is making some assumptions)... If you don't know what an angle grinder is, there is probably no need for you to move to milwaukee from ryobi. Your money will be better spent upgrading a few of your core ryobi tools to their brushless versions. My general advice for ryobi owners is that if they don't wear out, and their aren't glaring features you find yourself missing... you don't need to move on from ryobi. It is a waste of money. The exception to that is if you have a massive project coming up where you need to rely on the tools to get a job done quick. Eg... We are about to put a 24x32 addition on our cabin. If my ryobi tool fails we will be screwed because there is no local home depot to run out for a replacement tool, and my tool failing would result in the project coming to a halt while I had a bunch of help standing around.

So for that reason, I will be upgrading to a brushless milwaukee set for the core tools. Drill/driver/sawzall/circ saw. Ill still be keeping my rybi misc tools... Jig, etc because I don't need those to be workhorses.

angle grinder work is pretty heavy duty cutting stuff. cutting metal, concrete, etc. also for grinding off rust and such. if you dont know what they are for, you probably dont want to be using one. if you do use one, be very careful. full face shield when using cutting blades. safety glasses and mask when using grinding blades. id suggest youtubing a video on angle grinders. my bet is you wont have need for one.

gloves around fixed rotating tools are bad. gloves around tools like angle grinders, good.

the cordless angle grinders are great when going to scrap yards, and junkyards. or when you are doing stuff on your car and dont want to drag a cord out there. They are also good for cutting things like rebar. corded are king for working in the shop and doing significant jobs 100%.

you are confusing impact driver with impact wrench. but otherwise, i agree. i have to imagine someone that doesnt know what an angle grinder is/does has no need to upgrade from ryobi to milwaukee. they would be better off upgrading their ryobi to brushless as they see fit.

yes the m18 fuel is a decent tool, I use it often for rebar etc on job sites. my point is that this version is barely able to cut through 1/2 inch metal without overheating and rpms is way too low no matter the battery, it's severely underpowered for what it needs to be able to do.

This is not the set you want. Wait for Fuel or at least all Brushless. This set is old.

Knocking this tool because it cant cut through 1/2" steel is pretty unreasonable.

Whoops, you're right - wrote driver but meant wrench.

Yeah, the cordless is good for what you say, but I most DIYers probably never go to a scrap yard (or work on their cars). The only thing I have used mine for is to cut rebar (as you mentioned) and to cut off large protruding bolts (which I could have used bolt cutters and then filed the sharp edges off of the ends). As someone else said, if you can get away with using corded with angle grinders, that's the preferred method.

Also, someone else mentioned how dangerous they can be. Be aware that grinder wheels have an expiration date that should be closely followed. If not, they can break apart while using and become even more dangerous.

an angle grinder should be able to cut through a half inch rod lol, that's not big that's common rebar. if that's big to you then you could get by with a dremel.

There are pics on the internet showing pieces from a cut off disk embedded in safety glasses.

Like any power tool, stay out of the line of fire.

I used them cut down metal roofing (galvanized steel) sheets, remove stuck crank arms on bikes, and on concrete to help remove spalling. Little jobs. Like a 12-16" chainsaw vs gas powered Stihl, these cordless ones have their place.
