Milwaukee 2888-20
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Makita 9565CV is a high-power 5-inch angle grinder featuring variable speed control and SJS technology for superior performance and safety. Its key strengths include the ability to adjust speed for different materials and tool-less guard adjustments. The lock-on switch and higher power draw are trade-offs for its professional-grade capabilities.
The Milwaukee 2888-20 is a high-performance cordless angle grinder featuring a brushless motor and variable speed control. Its lightweight design and rapid stop brake make it a safe and comfortable choice for professional use. However, the tool-only format requires users to already own compatible M18 batteries.
