The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Braking Angle Grinder isn’t the most powerful angle grinder in Milwaukee’s massive power tool lineup. That distinction belongs to the bigger, and therefore more robust, Milwaukee M18 Fuel Large Angle Grinder. But that doesn’t mean that its strength is anything to sneeze at, as this angle grinder only lands one or two levels beneath its larger counterpart in the power department.

Because it is jam-packed with so much power, the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Braking Angle Grinder typically costs more than many other options in the Milwaukee M18 collection. It retails for $358 at Walmart. But if you buy one now, you can save over 40% off its regular price and nab it for only $200. 

At the center of this Milwaukee angle grinder is a Powerstate brushless motor that can help it reach up to 9,000 RPM, providing 13A corded power and performance from the cordless device. It’s designed to tear through wood, metal, and other tough materials with minimal effort while keeping you comfortable with its anti-vibration side handle and ergonomic grip.

This angle grinder is also built to be as safe as possible, with a slew of safety features to put your mind at ease. It’s equipped with a Rapidstop brake that can bring the angle grinder’s wheel to a complete stop in under 2 seconds if it senses danger. It also boasts an electronic clutch that extends kickback protection.

Additionally, the advanced Milwaukee tool works with any of the brand’s M18 batteries, and it includes Redlink Plus Intelligence. This feature greatly enhances efficiency by keeping these batteries in constant communication with the angle grinder and their charger.

All of this has some shoppers calling this Milwaukee angle grinder the “best option on the market.” It also has them claiming it’s “better than any DeWalt angle grinder” and saying “DeWalt can’t compete” with what Milwaukee is offering here.

“It has plenty of power and cuts through metal with ease,” one reviewer wrote on Milwaukee’s website. “It’s also comfortable to use, well-balanced, and performs exactly as you would expect a tool from Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel line to.”

“It’s an amazing tool,” another reviewer remarked. “This thing is a true beast, and outside of it being powerful, I love not worrying about longevity because I know it will hold up.”
