Milwaukee 2485-22 M12 FUEL Right Angle Die Grinder Kit

Overview

Milwaukee's 2485-20 is a 12-volt battery powered grinder spinning at 24,500 RPM and weighing 1.6 pounds. Measuring 4.4 x 2 x 8.7 inches, it's sized for one-handed use in tight spaces.

The RPM here, 24,500, runs well above typical corded angle grinders, pointing to a compact cutting or grinding tool built for speed over material removal capacity. At 1.6 pounds and under 9 inches long, it's built for reach into confined spots rather than heavy surface grinding. It draws from Milwaukee's 12V battery platform, so it shares batteries with other tools in that line.

• 12V battery powered

Who it's for

Users already invested in Milwaukee's M12 battery platform who need a compact, high-speed grinder for tight or overhead spots. Not for heavy-duty surface grinding, where a larger corded or higher-voltage tool suits better.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 24,500 RPM, it spins faster than most full-size angle grinders, which suits fine cutting and grinding work more than heavy material removal. The 1.6 pound weight and compact 4.4 x 2 x 8.7 inch body make it easier to hold one-handed or work overhead than a full-size grinder.
