Score: 70/100
Milwaukee 2880-20 4.5-inch
Score: 82/100Rankings

The Milwaukee 2880-20 is a versatile cordless angle grinder featuring a brushless motor and RAPIDSTOP brake technology for enhanced safety and performance. Its key advantage is the mobility provided by the M18 battery system, making it ideal for job sites without power outlets. However, the lack of included batteries and the smaller disc size are notable trade-offs for heavy-duty users.

The Craftsman CMEG100 is a lightweight, corded angle grinder ideal for light-duty tasks like polishing and thin metal cutting. Its high RPM and low weight are advantages, but the lack of overload protection and lower power output make it less suitable for heavy industrial use.
