Product Description

The 6149-6 Magnum® series 4-1/2 inch 8.5 amp grinder offers the same features as the 6148-6 but also includes a steel carrying case. Its low profile and light weight make it perfect for those medium duty sanding and grinding projects. An integrated lock-off button is featured in the paddle switch. A lock-on button is also available for continuous use operations. The tool is double insulated (two prong cord) and incorporates the industry standard 5/8-11 threaded arbor. Like its heavy duty big brothers, it also has spiral bevel gears for optimum transmission of torque to the work piece. The comfortable body grip style is easy to hold onto, and in conjunction with the supplied side handle, allows for maximum operator control. The side handle can be attached in three locations. The wheel guard can be moved around the spindle (without the use of tools) for greatest operator protection. Sold as a grinder with guard, this tool can be used as a sander when a 4-1/2 inch backing pad and disc are attached.

Milwaukee's tools have a great reputation for toughness and longevity. This grinder is all that and more. Its steel case is a big help in keeping the garage neat and the flexibility in choosing handle positions as well as the lock-on switch are more useful than you would initially think, allowing you to work in many more positions.

In addition to making short work of nearly anything metal, just strap on a sanding disc and have at any wood surface you please, making this a really useful tool to have.

This tool would make Tim Allen go "Oook ook ook".

Milwaukee Electric tools are the best power tools available. This grinder is awesome, very comfortable to use and it has plenty of power. This is a great deal since it includes the metal case. Don't waste any time looking at the other brands, this is the cream of the crop.

This Milwaukee 4.5" gringer is the tool for me. I just trashed a couple of nonames gringers.
