Its brushless motor provides equivalent 8.0 amps of power and greater efficiency that maximizes runtime and productivity. It features the X-LOCK mount, offering a wheel change interface that's up to five times faster than conventional interfaces. There’s an audible snap when mounting an X-LOCK wheel on an X-LOCK grinder. The wheel mounts properly without the need for a spanner wrench or flange nuts. The wheel is released from the grinder with the pull of a lever. This 4-1/2 In. 18V grinder has restart protection to help prevent accidental start-up when switching batteries, soft-start technology to reduce startup torque and ease into cuts, and overload protection to reduce the risk of the motor overloading or overheating It is designed with spiral bevel gears that provide smooth transmission of power to grinding applications. It also features an adjustable tool-free guard and an updated gearhead mounting collar, which is now compatible with all Bosch metal and concrete cutting guards. This tool features a two-position side handle and a slim soft-grip design.

Excellent light to medium duty angle grinder. I use it with a cut off wheel for metal work. For heavy duty grinding, you'd be better off with a corded or pneumatic tool, but for small jobs, this is perfect. It's relatively small and light and there's no cords or hoses to worry whether they'll reach where the job is.

Hard to believe 4.5" right angle grinder is made without a 5/8"-11 shaft. Not compatible with most discs, brushes, etc. And there is a $7 charge for the return.

I was skeptical of the X-loc system. The replacement discs are so much more expensive. However, its increased productivity immensely. Changing discs is so quick. It eliminates the need for having 2 grinders close at hand all the time. One cutoff and one grind. Just switch back & forth in seconds! And of course, Bosch makes a great tool for the job as well. Powerful, quiet and reliable. It doesn't seem to eat up batteries too quickly. Which brings up its only downfall, however unavoidable. The balance of the tool with anything but the smallest battery available makes the tool kinda unwieldy. The weight is all hanging off the back end. It still beats dragging a cord behind it though. It works on 18 volt batteries only. Though, the old 12 volt chargers will charge the 18v batteries without a problem.

I got this to add to my 18V group of cordless tools. Giving 4 out of 5 as you have to buy the special Bosch grinding discs, which do go on and off easily, but can’t always find them, unless you buy online.

Simplemente espectacular. Corta como si fuera una amoladora de cable y eso que use pilas "economicas" si se calienta un poco y creo es por las pilas pero en cuanto pueda probarlo con unas pro core estoy seguro que se desempeñara mucho mejor y recalco que funciona muy bien con las pilas economicas, no le esperaba que viniera con un disco y me agrado mucho que se incluya uno.

I got this specifically for my wire wheels for welding. It works great for that and X lock saves me a huge amount of time. Takes 2-3 seconds to swap a wheel instead of minute or more. Keep in mind this as an 8 amp equivalent grinder, Bosch Also makes a 10 and 14 equivalent so this is their least powerful cordless option. Still plenty of power for most tasks, wire wheels, cut off wheels etc. Feels just as powerful as an 8 amp corder unit. It will run a flap disk but will cut out if pushed hard, that is really more suited for a 10+ amp grinder though. Great Bosch build quality as well, definitely a step above the Red and Yellow brands. You can't go wrong with this unit, especially for the price.

It's pretty light for the power. If you're grinding anything REALLY heavy use one of the giant corded 15amp big-brand angle-grinders. They can do some fine stuff if you have heavy-enough gage extension cords. But this is pretty powerful for a tiny easy-to-handle unit.
