What happens here

Dan Blythe introduces the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 4.5" to 5" Dual Trigger Braking Grinder, emphasizing its innovative two-handed design for enhanced safety and control. He demonstrates that the tool requires both the side handle and the main paddle to be gripped for operation, automatically shutting off if either hand is removed. This safety feature ensures the tool remains under control. The grinder offers versatile adjustability with three positions from left to right and five positions along the body of the tool, totaling up to 15 grip locations for optimal comfort and accessibility. Additionally, it incorporates an auto-stop feature, similar to Milwaukee's hammer drills and rotary hammers, which automatically shuts down the tool if unexpected movement occurs in any of the three axes.

Goal: Explore the safety and ergonomic features of the new M18 FUEL Dual Trigger Braking Grinder

Steve thanks all right Dan what are we looking at all right today we're looking at our new M18 fuel four and a half to five inch dual trigger braking grinder so we're really excited about what this product is going to do for our grinder family and for Grinders overall because it implements a two-handed experience similar to some of our M18 fuel bandsaws you have to keep two hands on the tool to run it so by gripping the side handle then main panel tool fires up but if I take that second hand off or even if I take the main hand off it automatically shuts the tool down to make sure you stay under control and the tool stays where it's supposed to be that handle doesn't come off now but it's not going to get in your way because you get three different positions left to right as well as five positions back along the body of the tool so up to 15 total locations to adjust your grip Comfort accessibility your story but wait it gets better yeah well wait there's more uh adding to that for the first time on the Milwaukee fuel grinder is Auto Stop so similar to our hammer drills and rotary hammers if for some reason unexpected it automatically shuts itself down in all three axes [Applause] so we're really excited about how this is going to change and disrupt the usage of angle grinders and help to keep you under control what's the price point what is it available uh price point and available you're still to be determined so we'll have more information soon so check back all right thank you sir thank you
