Score: 82/100
Milwaukee 2880-20 4.5-inch
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Makita 9557PBX1 is a lightweight, high-performance angle grinder that comes fully equipped with a diamond wheel and carrying case. Its primary advantage is its low weight of 1.6kg, making it ideal for overhead or extended use. The lack of soft start and variable speed are minor trade-offs for its robust build and included accessories.
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.
