hey guys welcome back to my small engine repair
channel today i've got a cool tool to show you guys that i just bought it's the milwaukee fuel
m12 brushless angle die grinder and this is one of the best tools i bought so far this year
i have bought a few more tools that i want to show you guys in the year but i would
say this is a must-have tool if you do any kind of repairs especially on small engines so
here it is up close it was just a bare tool i got because i do have a lot of m12 batteries and
here's the product number it's the quarter inch right angle die grinder number 2485-20 and
again it's the pro version fuel m12 and the batteries do last a bit longer on the brushless
cordless tools guys because there are no brushes so here's what i paid for it with tax 259.89
subtotal was 229.99 by the way we pay 13 taxes here in canada on products but this tool
guys is worth every penny so basically when you buy this tool it comes in a small box like this
with no battery you will get the two wrenches here to remove and reinstall bits or whatever you're
using on it and you'll get some paperwork with it that's all that comes with it and what i'll
recommend for this tool is that you use the bigger m12 batteries like this one there's the
4.0 5.0 and the 6.0 it's not too bad with consuming your battery power but if you do a big
job you'll be happy that you do have a big battery now everything you put into this stool will be
quarter inch so if you have a tool like this which is a roll lock tool from 3m it will go in
there and that's what i use the most on this tool and this small die grinder is powerful enough to
use these small deburring or burring bits here now if you look at the tool closely you can see
it's good quality it actually feels really good in your hand it feels like it is good quality
it's not that heavy now the weight will mostly depend on the battery you put on i use the big
battery so it's a little heavier but not bad now one neat feature i really like about this tool
is that you can change the speed of the rpms of it it came with this little sticker showing
what number corresponds to which rpm speed so on one it's 10 000 rpm you can hear it
doesn't spin too fast it's a little less powerful at number one setting if you go to number two at
15 000 rpms it'll spin a lot faster and it's a little more powerful it takes more force to
actually get it to stop turning when you're grinding stuff or whatever you're doing now at
number three at 20 000 rpms it basically won't stop on anything you're grinding or polishing
and if you go to number four it's super fast and before that sticker comes off
here i want to show you what each number corresponds to in rpms one is
ten thousand two is fifteen thousand three is twenty five and four is twenty four
thousand five hundred rpms and most of the time i'll use number two or number three because
it doesn't really bog down at those numbers and like i said basically what i use all the time is
the roll lock adapter here so i'll just put it in and basically with the wrenches that came
with it you just lock this part of the shaft and then you tighten up this nut here and you
don't need to go crazy with tightening up this nut you just want it fairly tight
but you don't need to overdo it and i highly recommend guys to get this tool
actually and get the roloc adapter because you can put these small flat discs and i'll just show
you in the next clip here what i use it for mostly here's an example where i'll be using this tool
i've got a honda shoot here from a snowblower often the metal will break where it's bolted
on the body so what you need to do here before you weld that is to just clean it up and with
the small flap disc on the grinder it's easy to clean that up and i'll show you that right
now and i'll set it at number three at 20 000 rpms make sure you're wearing your safety
glasses and you'll see how awesome this tool is and as you see it's prepped on both sides if
you don't remove the paint what happens when you try to mig weld that it pops a lot you don't
get good penetration as well and i can just put the piece back on well that it's going to
go easier because it's not full of paint now good use for the flap discs on this
tool guys is to take off some of the burrs on chainsaw bars at the bottom here and make
absolutely sure you're wearing safety glasses and i did this on the number two setting and see
how a good job it does it's nice and smooth again and as you just saw in the clip guys it makes for
quick work especially on detailed work like i just showed you on that shoot it saves a whole lot of
time it does a super good job with the small flat disc and it's very simple to replace these you
just untwist it and then screw in your other pad so you can kind of use whatever pad fits on
here just make sure you use the same size of pad as your roll lock adapter here now when you
use this tool there is some kind of safety lever on the trigger so you have to kind of
push this up and then at the same time push down and you do have a small light here
that comes on like most milwaukee tools and then it shuts off in a few seconds another
neat feature is the small set of lights here they light up when you're using the tool
to let you know the level of your battery so at this point my battery is fully
charged that's why all the lights came on and here's a close-up look of it now i will remove the sticker here because it
will come off eventually and again i must say that it does feel of good quality in your hands
and these come with a five year warranty i believe so to me that's an extremely good warranty and
here's the warranty information here yes it is five years like i just mentioned so to me was kind
of a no-brainer to go from this which was my old air die grinder to the cordless because now i
don't have some air hoses in the way to trip in if i need to go outside the shop i can take
all my cordless tools with me including this and i don't need any power cords and air hoses so if
any of you guys do any kind of mobile repair work the cordless milwaukee tools are just awesome and
most of you guys have probably seen all my other tool reviews on my cordless milwaukee tools and
you know what guys since i bought those tools i barely use my quarter tools or my pneumatic
tools and by the way this small milwaukee cordless die grinder is more powerful than my
air dye grinder here this is an ingersoll 3101g air die grinder so if you want to compare it to
this the milwaukee is much more powerful i never use this one here anymore now i have to say that
i could not find this at home depot or the regular stores that i shop at that i buy my milwaukee
tools i actually had to go on amazon and buy it from a third-party seller and i'll just show
you a quick use for this buffing pad i recently brought my bike back from the shop got caught
in the rain and now you can see a bit of rust on the disc brakes or the discs here it's easy to
remove the rust with these just take a look here and i can't say it enough guys these 3m pads
are a must-have in any small engine shop i get a lot of questions on youtube people
ask me what tools should i get for my shop if you're watching this video today and you can
afford it get this tool you won't regret it and buy the roloc adapter and these pads and also
the small flat discs because you will use these almost on a daily basis when you're busy in
the summer now another feature that this die grinder has is it is variable speed so if
you just push the trigger in a little bit it'll turn slow so it's basically like a drill and if
i just go all the way it goes faster and sometimes i use this a lot like i don't need
it to be full blast all the time sometimes i just hold the trigger a bit and it does the job i find
it just amazing how the tools have changed in the last five to ten years it's just awesome no more
cords no more air hoses and the batteries are just like super good they last so long it just
makes working so much better and so much quicker anyway that's all i got to say about the tool
i'm sure i forgot to say some things about it if you do have the tool please comment below let
us know how you like it and how things are going for you using it in your shop by the way i put
a link under the video to where you can read all about the specs on the milwaukee website and also
make sure to check out my other milwaukee tool review videos and again i'm not sponsored for any
of these videos i always buy my own tools before i make video reviews and i bought this tool a
few months ago so i tried it out a bit in the shop here before making the video and i wanted
to make sure before i made the video that i was really happy with it i kind of knew from day one
that i would just love this tool especially when i tried it and i saw how much power it has and
one more tip guys is if you're using this tool and you put too much pressure and it's forcing
it will stop so you just release the trigger and then start over again that means you've put
too much pressure on it if that's the case you might want to up the rpms at the back here so
if you run across that it's not the tool's fault they're just designed that way so that you don't
burn it out and also my milwaukee angle grinder has the same feature if i try to cut too quickly
with it and it's forcing it will shut itself off and then i have to release the trigger and start
over again you will actually get used to that so don't worry about it but with the die grinder
here if you up the rpms this thing will not stop and after i used the tool once or twice i realized
that i should have bought this tool way before i did so thanks again for watching this tour review
