The verdictOur take

A 180mm cordless grinder that runs on two 18V LXT batteries combined to 36V, so you keep a single battery platform while stepping up to disc sizes that used to mean a corded tool. It holds the brushless safety kit at this scale, an electric brake, soft start and AFT bind-sensing, and spins to 7,800 rpm. The trade-offs come with the size: 5.7 kg on two 4.0Ah batteries and 7.5 m/s² vibration, so it suits heavier cutting and grinding rather than light all-day work.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
