That said I have a sudden urge to buy one now. The M12 is priced a bit better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 But that's not a fair comparison: 1. Can you buy four trade-quality high-powered 9" grinders? More like 2, or 3 when comparing to a kit 2. This is cordless, your grinders aren't. No lead! 3. This is faster, quieter and can't catch you on fire.

Stercorarius Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Have you had a chance to check out the brushless DeWalt and see how they compared? Tbh I haven't watched the video yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 nah haven't played with the Dewalt. I'd say a comparison is not likely anytime soon.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never caught myself on fire with a grinder though, just other things. Just more reasons I "need" a cordless deep cut bandsaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Excellent video from OTT as usual. Man, that thing looks awesome. I really do not have a use for it at this point in time but hopefully I can think something up at some point in the future. That's also a great point about grinders. I have the Fuel version but in general grinders are a type of tool that make me fairly nervous. Things can take a turn for the worse with those awfully quickly if you're not giving the tool and the environment you're working in the attention and respect they deserve.

dwain Posted May 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Thanks Bremon. Yeah I love grinders, but they deserve a LOT of respect. The big powerful electric units in particular are just gunning to maim you. The bandsaw is much safer and nicer if you have use for one.

JimboS1ice Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Great video dude, I think the thing that makes their tools stand out which is so simple and so easy for any other company to do is the rafter hook, I love it on my fuel saws, great feature to have. That thing is a beast though and gives such nice cuts and much easier to use than a grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 yeah the rafter hook is good for sure. The new Makita BL recip has a very similar one, and I think the others will follow suit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
