  • I been using this expensive Hilti and wanted to see how the build quality stacks up to Makita, Dewalt, Milwaukee grinders. Surprisingly it IS brushless and the drive mechanism is nothing like we've seen before. It's got a brushless motor and a chinsy little coupling arrangement.

    I work for these guys. The detached pinion is indeed a design choice. One of the big selling points of these grinders is the "active torque control", basically a safety feature that shuts it off should it bind on something. They work for a bit after they do bind but the thing eventually strips.

    We went through two Milwaukee cordless grinders 4 1/2 inch in one year. Used them every day at full capacity ( misc metals trade). Bearing went on one and the other seized solid. We then bought the Hilti grinder same capacity and it's going on nearly three years now and we beat it up every day as well. Loved your video, was surprised to see how well built the Hilti grinder is.

    Man, a cordless grinder is one of my favorite tools. Like you said it will never replace a corded jobby, but you can walk out to the parking lot and do some actual REAL work. Even some of the nicest battery powered ones only give maybe an hour of hard work, but an hour of hard work on an angle grinder is a LOT of work.

    When the store manager confirmed the $100 price, I had to hold back the love explosion facial expression and just quickly ran to the register to swipe my card.

      When I checked the tags, it was in the system over 2 years. She comes out with all 3 batteries, puts them all into the tools and they fire right up. All the batteries held a charge over 2 years.
      I bought them a year maybe 18 months ago and over that timespan, have charged all 3 batteries each only one time.
      They were used pretty hard but they're fine, mostly cosmetic wear on it. I use the angle grinder pretty regularly for light stuff but have never fed it anything to get it hot.
      I've ran the hammer drill in some concrete once with the wrong bit and it was fine even though it got warm enough to the point of being concerned so we just let it cool off. I think that was the one battery drainer.

    I'm curious how well this would last in our waterjet shop.. We've been using "team red" for some time now, and it looks like 2yrs is about all they'll suffer in our hydraulic fluid and garnet filled shop.
    One of our fab guys is excellent with a grinder, the other doesn't wear any eye protection when he welds.. so figure before long we'll have a 2nd guy pretty handy with a grinder once he's gone blind and can't aim the metal hotsnot gun worth a diddly.

    Hay Ave. I could put that tool though he'll and back for you. I work in heavy industry at a maching shop thats over 110 + years old that does all the repairs for all of the coal mines in the northern part of the States. We even do repair field jobs for over 6 large coal mines in Canada. We got guys that weld the heavy chain links that connects the big coal buckets on the dragline. Repairing where they wear. We go throw grinders like there is no tomorrow. We now are testing some of the newer brushless 110ac drills that are out there. I've seen guys push grinders so hard that there is more smoke coming out of the grinder than the smoke that comes off from stick welding. We got big welders pushing 1300 Amps burning 1/8wire putting on 1000's of pounds of steel on sheaves for the dragline. Its pretty impressive. Be glad to put some work that there tool of yours.

      Since I started working where I work now, doing maintenance on a few different machines, and no one has been there before me to do this stuff, I just greased until the grease was falling out. There was no dirty grease in there, each machine took its own grease cartridge. Now, that I'm doing it regularly, the job is quick and easy. I think grease ever 10 hours meant grease once a year before I got there.

      billy morrish I used to do drainage and drain tile and used cordless grinders to cut pipe and hack cement foundations so the jackhammer can get bite at 90 degrees. I guarantee that is by far the worst abuse one of these things can take. My tool of choice used to be Makita 5” angle grinders and I would burn through three or four tools per year. I switched to Milwaukee and it took me two years to kill my first. These Hilti grinders didn’t exist at the time so I couldn’t say if this pig would last. (Mud, water, concrete dust and PVC shards are brutal, although metal dust is also savage.)

    The timing will be fine, to reverse a 3-phase motor, you must swap any two wires, when you do a 120 or 240 degree rotation you are effectively doing 2 or 4 swaps, which will cancel out, and result in the motor going the same direction anyway (any even number of swaps will cancel out).
