The BLACK+DECKER 18V Cordless Grinder is ideal for cutting metal pipes, removing rust from metal work, removing excess weld material, or mortar raking from between brickwork. Powered with 18V Lithium Ion battery, the motor delivers 8000 rpm to complete a wide range of grinding tasks. Die cast aluminium housing ensures optimum heat dissipation prolonging the life of the tool. No-volt release switch prevents the unit from unintentional starting when locked on for added safety. The soft start reduces the movement of the tool on start-up for increased user control. The 3-position side handle allows two handed operation, providing you additional control and safety. Thanks to the spindle lock, changing discs is quick and easy, while a lock-on switch assists with comfort and control. One cutting disc is included. This grinder comes as a bare unit – without a battery. Battery is available for a separate purchase.
