Product Overview
Our MILWAUKEE® M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 6" Dual-Trigger Braking Grinder is the most recent advancement in angle grinders for more demanding applications, providing greater control through dual trigger activation, permanent side handle, and AUTOSTOP™ kickback control. Similar to our M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 5" Dual-Trigger Braking Grinder, the M18 FUEL™ 6" Dual-Trigger activation requires two hands for operation. The permanent side handle provides 15 positions, improving control and accessibility. Our 6" Dual-Trigger Grinder also provides AUTOSTOP™ kickback control to help prevent severe kickback, while RAPIDSTOP™ brings most accessories to a complete stop in under 2 seconds. With a 4-mode variable speed, this grinder delivers greater control in a variety of larger-size materials. Compatible with ONE-KEY, this grinder wirelessly connects to a smartphone to track and manage the tool, providing users with visibility to where tools are across their network of jobs. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor generates 13A corded power, allowing you to complete tougher grinding and cutting applications.
