Preview: Milwaukee V28 4-1/2” Grinder
By Sean O'Hara
Milwaukee Electric has added a new grinder to their vaunted V28 lithium-ion line of cordless tools. The V28 grinder features a 3.0 Ah, 28V lithium-ion battery and can spin up to 8,000 RPM.
We’re pretty stoked that Milwaukee chose to expand the V28 line, and we’re happier still that they picked a completely practical tool to do it with. The new grinder also features a soft start and weighs in at just under 7 lbs with the battery attached. No word on price yet, but we expect it to pass the hundred dollar mark.

Looks nice. Wish i knew more about what Bosch is going to release on its 10.8v line…

Looks beautiful…too beautiful. Given the harsh environment these guys work in (crawls, wet trenches, etc.) I’m gonna stick with the $15 versions from HF and toss them after the abuse becomes debilitating. But it sure would be nice (and safer) not to have to drag a cord around in those places. Perhaps I need to rethink.
