Read the manual, page 57, where it states the case comes in useful after you've used the angle grinder to chop up a body [wink]

ha ha seriously no need to chop it up it will fit in whole
 
I love my m18 fuel grinder.  Not only does it do all my grinding, its also largely replaced my pliers.  Was just using it today to get nails out of wood I have to remove and reinstall later.
 
Like Edward, I find my Milwaukee M18 Fuel grinder indispensable for demolition work. I've been removing runs of 1 1/2" galvanized and 3" cast iron pipe from an old bathroom using a .045" cut-off disc and have yet to recharge the battery. It is the brushless technology that made this a viable cordless tool.
 
[member=55478]Darren1972[/member] Not sure if your beef is with Milwaukee themselves, or that it's made in China?

Coptool did a brushless grinder shootout recently.

No surprises there if you're already familiar with Metabo, although how the grinder is able to extend the abrasive life might be a surprise to those who haven't used one. And made in Germany.

http://www.coptool.com/brushless-grinder-showdown-2015-milwaukee-makita-metabo/

Summary of results:

grinding test (speed): Milwaukee 48.6 seconds / Makita 49.3 seconds / Metabo 42.0 seconds
cutting test (battery life): Milwaukee 87 cuts / Makita 106 cuts / Metabo 137 cuts
abrasive life:  Milwaukee & Makita 15-20 cuts per disk / Metabo 25-30 cuts per disk consistently

 
Forgot they posted a video, though it's rather thorough (16 minutes! [eek]).

i have no beef against milwaulkee i have the fuel impact driver the 5 ah battery packs are realy good aswell i think milwaulkee are really good for construction jobs but all my other tools are green my only beef is the size of the case its just silly i was using the grinder all day today and to be honest its the best cordless grinder i have used
