The is a compact cordless grinder built to give you serious cutting and grinding chops without dragging around a cord — perfect when you’re bouncing around a job site or working in tight spots where cables get in the way. What it does is take the brute power you’d expect from a corded tool and package it into an 18 V battery platform that most pros already run.

What sets this grinder apart from the smaller “toy‑grade” stuff is the combination of a brushless motor and a balanced, slim grip that keeps vibration down and control up — you’re not fighting the tool, you’re directing it. And that matters a lot when you’re making cut after cut all day long.

Key Features:

• Brushless High‑Performance Motor – Delivers about 700 W equivalent power so cuts and grinds happen fast without bogging.
• 18 V Battery Platform – Works with your existing Bosch 18 V batteries so you don’t need a separate charger chain.
• 100 mm Disc Size – Small, nimble disc is ideal for flush cutting and work in confined spaces.
• Slim, Balanced Handle – Makes the grinder feel lighter in hand and reduces fatigue when you’re on it for long stretches.
• Keyless Guard – Quick, tool‑free adjustments that save time when you’re swapping blades or changing direction.

Applications

This grinder isn’t a one‑trick pony — the 100 mm cordless angle grinder tackles cutting rebar, trimming welds, grinding concrete spatter, deburring metal, and more. In practice, it’s the sort of tool you reach for when cords are a pain and you still want respectable cutting speed and control.

Why Choose This Model

Here’s the thing: not all small cordless grinders feel like a Pro tool. The Bosch GWS 180‑LI brings a brushless motor that pushes performance close to its corded cousins without the hassle of trailing leads, and that balanced design doesn’t beat you up after a few hours’ work. On sites where you need mobility and smooth handling without throttling back performance — this one shines.

Technical Specifications Explained

• Battery Voltage (18 V) – Runs off Bosch’s standard 18 V battery ecosystem so you can swap batteries across tools on site.
• No‑Load Speed (11,000 rpm) – That’s a high spin rate for a small grinder, which means snappy cutting and smooth grinding.
• Disc Diameter (100 mm) – Smaller disc fits into tighter gaps and lets you cut closer to surfaces without getting in the way.
• Weight Excl. Battery (~1.6 kg) – Keeps fatigue down — crucial when you’re overhead or working all day.
• Spindle Thread (M10) – Common size that makes finding replacement discs and flanges easy.

Who Should Buy This

If you’re a tradesperson who already runs Bosch 18 V tools and you’re after a small, powerful grinder that won’t tie you down with a cord, the cordless angle grinder is a solid pick — especially for metal work, framing, or fabrication where maneuverability counts.

But it’s not just for pros — serious DIY folks who want more bite and battery‑powered convenience than cheap grinders can offer will also appreciate the balance of power, control, and weight here.
