Industrial Grit, Cordless Grace

This grinder brings a refined, performance-first silhouette to the workshop—sleek red armor with deliberate, architectural lines. I love the paddle switch and compact head; they feel sculpted for control as you move across metal or stone. Pair it with matte black storage and raw wood surfaces to let its bold color pop like a design accent. It’s a powerhouse that makes every project feel precise and luxuriously efficient.
