I bought the cordless angle grinder and cordless impact wrench.
The grinder was good but battery was awful.
It would cut maybe one or 2 pieces of metal and most the battery would be gone
The impact wrench is very good.
Can take the cars wheel studs of with no hassle.battery is I think 4ah compared to the grinders 2ah.
The batteries are interchangeable so they can be shared.
Grinder lasts longer when I use the impacts battery.
In my opinion the cordless grinder from them is useful if you need to be out and about with but if your using it at home I'd stuck to corded.
The wrench tho was defo worth it

Suzuki boi, is the impact wrench quarter or half inch drive.

Bob, was that for one type of tool or multiple.

Battery angle grinders use a lot of power so battery life is short but they also don't have the required speed. Handy for out in the paddock but if there's electricity available then leave the battery grinder in the box.

Same battery in a drill lasts ten times longer.

Snapey I have a full set of Milwaukee tools in Oz and grinder was hard on 4 and 5AH batteries. So was my sons Makita, but he decided my Milwaukee was better and took the lot out of my workshop or I would have left them for you.

Looks like mine.
Did yours come with a 4ah battery ?
Any deep sockets with it?
