If you already own the packs

Open the W 18 7-125, order 602371850, at £68.99. It is a 125 mm body at 8,500 rpm and 1.6 kg, with a two-hole nut and no pack. Across 158 amazon.co.uk reviews it is 4.6. UK texts call it good value when the packs are already yours, for light cutting and grinding. The bullets do not say brushless, and reviewers report brushes. Packs around 2 Ah are said to run out very quickly. Skip it if you need brushless, a Quick nut or a brake. The letter codes are on the buying guide.

If you want brushless on a 125 mm tool

The cardboard W 18 L BL 9-125, order 602374850, is £74.95 and says brushless, 10,000 rpm and 900 W, with a tool-free guard and a safety shutdown if the disc stops unexpectedly. The pack is absent. It is 5.0 from one review with no text, so the display score is 53 because that review is halved. It does not outrank 4.6 from 158. The metaBOX twin, order 602374840, is £125.45 with no star line, so the score is 0. Pay the extra £50.50 only for the case. What a case still leaves out is on the body-only page.

If the gap is small

The CC 18 LTX BL in a MetaLoc, order 600349840, is £42.97, at 20,000 rpm and 640 g, with no pack. Review text puts the disc at 76 mm. It is 4.9 from 27 reviews, and one reviewer says it is not a full-size angle grinder. The formula score of 90 is not a cutting test. It is the best value when the gap is the problem and you already own a CAS pack. Order 600349850 is £142.27, with disc, speed and battery not stated. Skip both when the disc in your hand is 125 mm.

If the weld is in a corner

The WVBF 18 LTX BL 15-125 Quick, order 601308840, is £245.77, with a low head for angles down to 43°, a Metabo Quick nut and a claimed stop within 1.5 seconds. It is brushless, 125 mm, at 8,000 rpm, in a metaBOX with five convex P60 flap discs, and still no pack. The 1,500 W line is a mains-equivalence class. There is no star line, so the score is 0. Buy it for a fillet a standard head cannot reach. For open bar, the £68.99 W 18 7-125 has the review file. The angle and the brake are on the flat-head page.

Common questions

Which listing should I open if I already own CAS packs?
The W 18 7-125 at £68.99, order 602371850. It is 4.6 from 158 reviews, and UK texts call it good value when the packs are already yours. It is the top pick for light cutting and grinding on packs you own. Leave it if the listing must say brushless, or if you need a Quick nut or a brake.
Which listing is brushless without a case?
The cardboard W 18 L BL 9-125, order 602374850, at £74.95. Brushless, 10,000 rpm and 900 W are on the listing, with a tool-free guard and a safety-shutdown sentence. The star line is 5.0 from one review and there is no review text.
Why is the cased brushless 9-125 dearer, and why are there no stars?
Order 602374840 is £125.45 because the components line includes a metaBOX 165 L. It is still without a battery and a charger. The raw file has no Customer Reviews line, so the display score is 0. That 0 is a gap in the file, not a score buyers gave the tool.
Is the £42.97 CC a better buy because the formula scores it 90?
The 90 is the formula, from 4.9 and 27 reviews plus brushless, restart protection and a case. Review text says 76 mm. It is the best value when you need a light head in a narrow gap and you already have a pack. It is a poor swap for a 125 mm grinder. One reviewer says it is not a full-size tool.
Who should skip the 7-125?
Skip it if you need brushless on the listing, a Metabo Quick nut, or a brake that claims a stop in 1.5 seconds. Also skip it for concrete roof tiles, which one reviewer says it will not do, or if your only pack is about 2 Ah.
Is the flat-head the best grinder overall?
It is the listing for fillet welds a standard head cannot enter, at £245.77 plus a pack you still have to own. There is no star line, so the display score is 0. For open bar, the W 18 7-125 has the review sample and the lower body price.
What should I do with a 5.0 from one review?
Read it as one rating with no text. On the cardboard brushless 9-125 that is the whole amazon sample in this file, and the display score is 53 because a count under five is halved. Keep 4.6 from 158 as the stronger star line.
