This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BGA452Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-1/2-Inch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

i own quite few 18v lithium ion makita tools and this grinder is one that i really appreciate. after reading other reviews, i wonder who would buy this with expectations of it performing on the same level as a corded model? i do a lot of interior steel stud framing and i use this grinder to cut the heads off of concrete anchors and to notch light gauge steel. this cordless grinder is GREAT for that and has a lot more torque than i expected. keep in mind that i understand tools and i know that having cordless convenience means some trade offs. it will stall out if i get stupid with it...but i use it for convenience and i know to take lighter cuts with it and to go slower than i would with a big corded unit. this thing is impressive and it will do a lot. i used it to sharpen lawn mower blades and it was great for that. i can also use it to cut thru chain links and small bolts and items that are away from electricity and would be difficult to run an extension cord to. it's a grat tool that can do a lot if you take your time and go slow on bigger tasks.

This is a very handy tool. Works great. I use it very often and can't really complain about it. It kind of goes through the batteries a little quicker than most of the LTX tools. Or maybe what I should say is that it requires a more charged battery. In other words once the battery is down so far it doesn't run this tool very well. But please understand that I usually am grinding off 3/4 inch stainless steel bolts or something of that nature. It's still awesome and great for just about any job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will only fit a BL1830 (3.0Ah) battery!, July 25, 2011

This review is from: Bare-Tool Makita BGA452Z 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 4-1/2-Inch Cut-Off/Angle Grinder (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I already have a BL1815 (1.5 Ah) battery and the quick charger prior to buying the BGA452Z. So I thought I could just just buy the bare tool and use it straight away with my existing battery.

Only realised later that the BL1815 (1.5 Ah). will not fit into the BGA452Z tool and that it will only take the larger capacity BL1830 (3.0Ah). I'm sure its a good tool but I will now have to spend additional money to buy the BL1830. Wish the information was clearly stated in the product discription.
