MILWAUKEE, WI - Milwaukee Tool continues to lead in jobsite innovation with the launch of the M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 6" Dual-Trigger Braking Grinder, the newest addition to Milwaukee®'s growing lineup of grinding solutions. Powered by the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, this grinder delivers 13A corded performance and achieves up to 135 cuts in ½" rebar on a single charge, giving users the performance they need without the hassle of cords. Engineered for the most demanding applications, this grinder is purpose-built to deliver enhanced control and powerful performance.
"This launch reflects our continued commitment to solving real jobsite challenges through enhanced features and cordless performance," said Dan Blythe, Group Product Manager. "By combining dual-trigger activation with advanced braking and kickback control, we're able to help users work confidently and efficiently in high-risk environments."
For improved control during grinding and cutting tasks, the M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 6" Dual-Trigger Braking is equipped with a dual-trigger system that requires two-handed operation. Paired with a 15-position permanent side handle, this intuitive design ensures greater control by keeping both hands engaged during use, even in tight or elevated spaces. In addition, this grinder features RAPIDSTOP™ braking, which stops most common accessories in under 2 seconds for fast, reliable stopping power when shutting down the tool.
This grinder is engineered with AUTOSTOP™ technology offers kickback control that instantly reacts to binding, helping prevent severe tool rotation. This advanced system continuously monitors the grinder's movement and provides another layer of enhanced features when working with dense materials in cutting and grinding applications. This solution also includes overload protection, helping protect the motors integrity and electronics when operating under high loads.
Additionally, the M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 6" Dual-Trigger Braking Grinder is compatible with Milwaukee's ONE-KEY™ system, allowing users to wirelessly track, manage, and secure their tools. This helps professionals reduce downtime, prevent loss, and optimize fleet visibility across large jobsites or teams.
Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day's work on one battery system. The M18 FUEL™ 4-1/2" / 6" Dual-Trigger Braking Grinde is fully compatible with the entire M18™ line, now offering more than 300 solutions.
