I've been using the CRAFTSMAN V20 Cordless Angle Grinder for a few weeks now, and it's become my favorite tool for small grinding tasks. The brushless motor delivers serious power—way more than I expected from a cordless grinder. It chews through metal like butter, and the paddle switch makes it super easy to control.

The ergonomics are spot-on. It fits perfectly in my hand, even when I'm working at awkward angles. The 3-position side handle is a game-changer—no more wrist fatigue during long sessions. And the tool-free guard adjustment? Genius. I can switch from cutting to grinding in seconds without fumbling for wrenches.

Battery life was my biggest concern, but with a 4Ah battery (definitely don't go smaller), I can tackle most jobs without constant swaps. For quick touch-ups, the 2Ah battery works fine too. It does drain faster during heavy grinding, but that's expected—I keep a spare charged and ready.

What surprised me most was how well-balanced it feels. Unlike some cordless tools that feel front-heavy, this one stays comfortable even during overhead work. The 8000 RPM is slightly slower than corded models, but honestly, I don't notice the difference in real-world use.

My only minor gripe? The safety switch takes some getting used to—it's a two-step process to start grinding. But after a day or two, it became second nature.

Bottom line: This grinder has replaced my corded one for 90% of jobs. It's powerful enough for serious work yet compact enough for quick fixes. If you're already invested in the V20 battery system, this is an absolute must-have.
