Metabo is no stranger to angle grinders and in the recent years they’ve been really pushing the technology with their cordless line of grinders. The latest edition to their wide range of offerings is the 18v WB 18 LTX BL 180 7”/180mm Brushless Angle Grinder. Cordless technology has come very far in the past few years and the fact that a single 18v battery can now power a 7”/180mm disc is extremely impressive. While there are already a few options for cordless 7”/180mm grinders from other top brands, Metabo doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to be first to the market, but rather come out with a tool that performs extremely well.
My thoughts: If there’s one thing everyone know Metabo for, it’s their metal working tools, mainly angle grinders. This new 180mm/7” boasts several nice features such as a tool free adjustable blade guard, electric brake, rotating battery base, soft start brushless motor, removable dust filter, and 8,200 RPM for fast cutting and grinding speeds in a variety of materials. With these features and specifications, this is sure to be an excellent performer for cutting and grinding metal and masonry.
