Milwaukee 2880-20 M18 FUEL 4-1/2" to 5" Angle Grinder (Tool Only)
The Milwaukee 2880-20 is an M18 FUEL cordless angle grinder built around Milwaukee's POWERSTATE brushless motor, running 4-1/2 in. to 5 in. wheels for cutting, grinding and surface prep without a cord. It ships as a bare tool – an M18 REDLITHIUM battery and charger are sold separately.
The paddle switch on this model is a no-lock-on design, which trips off the moment pressure releases – a deliberate safety choice for grinder work, not a missing feature.
