Ryobi R18AG
Score: 72/100
Craftsman CMEG100
Score: 70/100Rankings
The Ryobi R18AG-0 is a lightweight, cordless angle grinder designed for users already invested in the Ryobi 18V ecosystem. Its key strength lies in its ergonomic GripZone+ handle and tool-less guard adjustment, which enhance usability. However, the brushed motor and lower RPM make it less suitable for heavy-duty professional tasks compared to brushless models.
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.
