I know some people will disagree with me but those are some nice grinders. In a fab setting its really nice to have one for a solid grinding wheel and a pearl fan or cut off wheel on the other because of how frequently you swap you’d have a ridiculous amount of downtime.
Because one tool is never enough…….
Back up so if one breaks
Or dubble the production 1 in each hand
I like the way you think.Logan p wrote:

You know why Comp its only “whisper” only half as good as a Milwaukee grinder. Welp I’m in trouble now!! J/K Makita fans I had to say it!!

Best answer award!!!
I’ll start buying Milwaukee grinders when and only when I can get two for $70. Tbh though I use a Milwaukee, Makita, and a Hitachi at work. All are great. The Milwaukee is the go to grinder purely because it is the most powerful. As far as grinders go a higher amperage grinder will beat a lower amperage, yeah I know amps doesn’t always equal power, but you won’t have any bad luck with a name brand grinder.Jasonc wrote:

back in the day before the cordless tools took off with any battery platform we had a shop with well over 70 guys grinding 12 hours a day and the only grinders that would last any amount of time were the Milwaukee and the Walters….. Makita and Port Cables were pretty much a waste of time, granted that was a few years ago now and mostly 7″ grinders… but I am a firm believer that is why I bought into the Milwaukee line when I did…..
Well I’m going to go ahead and believe you. The grinders that I work with don’t see that kind of action so you are more qualified than me for industrial use of that magnitude. Longest I ever spent grinding was probably about 10 hours straight maybe third day on the job. Now that I think about I was using a Milwaukee grinder with a cut off wheel and a Makita with a pearl fan (flap disk) on it.comp56 wrote:

here is one of the last jobs I was involved in at the fab shop….all stainless steel, 40 foot sections 18 foot dia. welded in place to a total of 306 feet with one breach at bottom……
I’m guessing chemical storage tank for a factory? That’s one pretty chunk of steel. Can’t imagine the bill on that one.comp56 wrote:
