Milwaukee M18 FUEL 4-1/2" / 5" Variable Speed Braking Angle Grinder Paddle Switch No-Lock M18 2888-20 + FREE M18 XC6.0 Battery Pack 48-11-1865

CORDED PERFORMANCE WITH UNMATCHED VARIABLE SPEED PRECISION

The 2888-20 represents a significant leap in cordless grinding technology, bridging the gap between the mobility of the M18 platform and the sustained torque of an 11A corded unit. By integrating a 5-speed dial, Milwaukee allows for precise material removal rates, whether you are polishing stainless steel at lower RPMs to prevent discoloration or hogging out welds at the maximum 8,500 RPM. The POWERSTATE™ brushless motor is engineered to maintain speed under heavy load, ensuring that the tool doesn't bog down during deep cuts or aggressive grinding. From a mechanical standpoint, the inclusion of the RAPIDSTOP™ brake isn't just a safety feature; it's a productivity enhancer, allowing for immediate tool set-down and faster transitions between tasks.

• / 5-Speed Dial Control: Optimized for applications ranging from 3,500 to 8,500 RPM, providing the versatility to handle delicate finishing and heavy-duty grinding.
• / RAPIDSTOP™ Braking System: Enhances jobsite safety by stopping most wheels in under two seconds, significantly reducing the risk of accidental contact.
• / 11A Corded Power Equivalent: The POWERSTATE™ Brushless motor delivers the sustained power required for the most demanding cutting and grinding applications.
• / Tool-Free Accessory Changes: Features integrated guard adjustments and accessory changes to minimize downtime and maximize on-tool efficiency.

UNRIVALED ENERGY DENSITY AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT

When managing a massive fleet of M18 assets, the battery chemistry is the primary factor in tool longevity and jobsite throughput. The Milwaukee 48-11-1865 HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 pack isn't just a capacity upgrade; it's a structural overhaul of the lithium-ion cell arrangement designed to sustain higher current draws without the heat-related degradation that plagues standard packs. This is a critical investment for contractors looking to maximize their ROI on high-performance brushless tools, providing the thermal headroom needed for sustained, heavy-duty applications.

• / 50% MORE POWER: Specifically engineered to provide the massive amperage required to fully utilize POWERSTATE brushless motor technology.
• / ADVANCED COOL-RUNNING TECH: Operates 50% cooler than previous XC models, allowing you to push tools harder through back-to-back cuts without thermal shutdown.
• / EXTREME CLIMATE DURABILITY: Optimized for sub-zero environments, delivering reliable fade-free power in temperatures below 0°F (-18°C).
• / INTELLIGENT COMMUNICATION: REDLINK hardware ensures the battery and tool work in tandem to prevent overload damage and over-discharge.
• / RUGGED CHASSIS: Impact-resistant housing designed to survive jobsite drops and resist common industrial chemicals/solvents.
