Anyone know of a store that carries them? I have only seen the first fuel grinders in store… Does it even really matter if it stops so quick? what’re your opinions??

Its a nice feature if your really worried about safety, but It’s not in stores yet your only going to find it from online retailers. That’s how it could end up you never know what stores will end up stocking when it comes to the big box stores the independent guys might stock it though.

not sure if it will make a big difference, as it is mine stops rather quick anyway…….not sure what I will do with the 14 nanoseconds I will save if I replaced my current fuel grinder……

I’ve got no problems with either of my millwakee fuel grinders, or even my regular m18 non fuel grinder works fine. As comp56 pointed out, they stop reasonably quick already. As far as the 14 nano seconds who cares. To me a grinder stopping quicker is more of safety then convince.

I won’t be buying a 4th cordless grinder anytime soon. If I did thoe it would be a millwakee, regardless of its stoping time.

Besides the braking the one cool feature is they moved to a tool less disk change. I would assume if you wanted you could order the same part and use it on your old fuel grinder.

I’ve never used a cordless grinder so it’s good to hear you have several Milwaukees. So that tool less nut… Anyone know for sure if they can be swapped if I were to order one?

yes they have safety in mind but in saying that who removes the battery while changing a disc? be honest…….
