Milwaukee 2886-20 M18 Fuel 5 in Flathead Braking Grinder

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 2886-20 is an M18 FUEL 5-inch flathead braking angle grinder with a paddle switch no-lock configuration, designed for trade professionals who need compact access in tight workspaces. The flathead body profile lowers the grinding wheel closer to the work surface, making it well suited for flush grinding, weld blending, and surface preparation in confined areas. Powered by the M18 FUEL brushless motor platform, this grinder delivers consistent torque output without a corded power source. The paddle switch with no-lock functionality requires continuous operator contact to run, supporting jobsite safety protocols.

This grinder is built for metal fabrication, ironwork, welding, and general construction applications where cordless mobility and a low-profile tool body are priorities. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and industrial jobsites. Electricians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general contractors commonly use this class of tool for cutting, grinding, and finishing tasks on steel, pipe, structural members, and weld seams.
