Why We Love This Deal
Lately, Milwaukee has been pumping out battery deals. Everything from the high-output M18 battery to the larger-than-life 12Ah M18 battery has had shockingly high discounts in recent weeks, and if you’ve partaken in these deals, there’s only one question you likely have in your mind: “Where are all the tool deals?” If you need a good angle grinder, the answer is Walmart.
The Milwaukee 2888-20 M18 Fuel Angle Grinder is currently on sale for $156, which is 44% off the normal price of $279. The Walmart bestseller ships free and should arrive at your doorstep within days. Moreover, it's compatible with any M18 battery, so if you have some at home, you won't need to buy extra.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Size: 4.5/5-inch
- Speed: 5-speed variable, from 3,500 to 8,500 RPM
- Motor Type: Brushless
- Powered By: Milwaukee M18 batteries (not included)
- Best Use Case: Corded-tier power with the range and dexterity restrictions that come with being tethered to a cord.
This tool gives you the versatility of a 4.5/5-inch angle grinder (Redditors list usages of 4.5/5-inch grinders for everything from sharpening mower blades to cutting metal bars) in an even more versatile cordless format. In fact, Milwaukee compares the power and performance of this grinder to that of a corded 11-amp angle grinder. This is a result of its efficient and long-lasting brushless motor, Redlink Plus intelligent battery-to-tool power delivery, and the overall top-tier design homeowners have come to expect from Milwaukee tools.
To put this all into perspective, compare this to DeWalt’s corded 11A 4.5-inch angle grinder. That tool is $120 and also ships free, making it a worthwhile purchase if you like corded power. But for the Milwaukee-line enthusiast that prizes range of motion and untethered freedom, the Milwaukee 2888-20 is hard to beat.
Finally, note that Milwaukee’s angle grinder has five speeds, ranging from 3,500 to 8,500 RPM. Many angle grinders will have one speed only, often around 11,000 RPM. This tool gives you more flexibility and will ultimately allow you to handle a wider range of materials with ease.
