Ive got Makita LXT cordless grinder cordless are not as powerful as mains whatever the make but cordless is very very useful in some situations i went for LXT because its 20mins for recharge and more power i recommend Makita LXT wouldent be without it

I did have a cheapo B&Q cordless one once... but i got a Bosch green one to do the odd cut and bull nose tiles but when i got my dewalt d24000 , i got a free Dewalt 240v grinder and it is well balanced and use it quite a lot with stone etc.. trimming internals and shaping etc..

Not sure how much you use a grinder but would a cordless last long.. that is what i would think about..

cordless dosent get used much just for checks out of ceramic on-site rather than setting up extensions etc then wind everything back up after every cut incase someone nicks the grinder mostly use my 110v dewalt

Then it would be spot on.. a lot easier than running in leads etc.

Re: Dewalt cordless 18v grinder?
I used a friends dewalt cordless 18v grinder for about a month on a stone job and I am not a dewalt fan, but I must say its a great tool and I would have one any day.
The Only dewalt I have is the D24000 and that has its limits but is a great saw.
hope this helps.
regards Rik

Milwaukee do one but its a lot of money.

Whats a ripsnorter? I have most of the dewalt 18v gear but not one of them!

I have a milwaukee cordless drill and that is a top notch bit of kit.

Ripsnorter is a name for a type of circular saw.

seen the milwaukee looks good

Think the dewalt might have more rpm not sure, already have the batteries & chargers etc
