I've been using the WORKSITE Cordless Angle Grinder for a few weeks now, and it's been a solid performer for my small to medium DIY projects. The 4-pole motor really does make a difference—it cuts through metal and grinds down surfaces noticeably faster than my old brushed motor grinder.
One of my favorite features is the adjustable auxiliary handle. I was working on rust removal on an old toolbox, and being able to switch the handle position made it way more comfortable during longer sessions. The rubberized grip also helped reduce fatigue.
The quick-change wheel guard is another winner. When I needed to switch from grinding to cutting during a van restoration project, I could adjust the guard in seconds without hunting for tools—super convenient when you're in the zone.
Battery life has been decent for me—I get about an hour of continuous use with the 4.0 Ah battery when sharpening mower blades. It's not meant for heavy industrial use (as some negative reviews point out), but for around-the-house jobs and light automotive work, it holds up well.
The included flap discs have become my go-to for smoothing out welds, though I did wish it came with more cutting wheels like one reviewer mentioned. Still, at this price point with battery and charger included, it's hard to complain.
