cordless grinder or not ???

[judge]

I bought a makita 18 v li-on drill with 2 batteries and 20 min charger,then got a bare cordless grinder,all for just over £300.Get a decent blade for it and it will cut porcs.(not as quick as a wet cutter mind)Done quite a few cutts in 600 polished porcs today

I've got a cheapy Ryobi cordless grinder and it's great. Tile wise I only use it for small ceramics, most of the time I use it for mitres on metal trims.

£350 with two batteries sounds good, bare tool is was £268 when first came out, batteries do outlast anything else I've had but wont last all day.

thanks for the info..... am very keen on the hilti as the sales rep says he'll give 2yrs guarantee on grinder and batteries so i'll prob go for that one but i'll try get him to throw in a third battery )))

3 year guarantee for the tool but not for the battery i think. i got that with aeg 3yrs warranty for the tool but only 1 yr for battery so read small print. 4 out of 8 batteries died within 2 yrs.

Got the Makita 18v Li grinder with a CK850 blade. Very handy for just popping outside to do cuts in ceramics/porcs. Nice weight to it. Battery charger and spare battery is a must. Smaller than a wet cutter! I bought the bare unit for about £90. I already had the charger and 2 batteries from my drills.
