Makita GD0601
Score: 78/100
Milwaukee M12 Fuel Die Grinder
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Makita GD0601 is a compact, corded die grinder featuring a 3.5 Amp motor that delivers 25,000 RPM for precision grinding tasks. Its fixed speed and corded design are the main trade-offs, restricting mobility and variable control. It is best suited for professional tradespeople needing high-speed precision in workshops with access to power outlets.
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Right Angle Die Grinder is a compact, lightweight tool designed for access in tight spaces rather than high-power grinding. Its low RPM and power output limit its effectiveness for heavy material removal. It is best suited for light-duty maintenance and fastening tasks in confined areas.
