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 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.

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.
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.
