It’s a powerhouse.
I purchased this after purchasing the 15mm equivalent, for faster cutting on larger areas. This polisher definitely delivered what I expected.The 21mm throw is noticeably more aggressive than the 15mm throw. At lower speeds, it’s a lot less manageable, but once you get it up to speed, it’s surprisingly smooth to operate.I find that I still use this for cutting or any first step if I’m doing a two step polish. Then I switch to the 15mm for the extra control and lighter touch that’s desirable for finer polishes. That said, there have been plenty of times where this polisher delivers excellent quality results, and I’m sure I could use it for both steps most of the time.I usually end up using this polisher with an 8Ah M18 Forge battery, and will admit that it gets heavy after a while. But, that’s true of the smaller polisher too. A lot of this seems to be more a factor of the battery than the polisher itself, but I don’t own any smaller M18s, so I haven’t confirmed.

Battery hog
I bought this to polish the paint on a small airplane.The polisher worked great and was easy to operate but it used a lot of battery. The box says one battery to do a car but it took two 5AH, two 9AH and two 12AH batteries to do the plane. I can’t imagine a single battery would do any car…

Nice
Good stuff

Works very well
After all, it is a Milwaukee, but it works great. After buffing and waxing a car, truck, and boat, my back doesn’t work nearly as well as the buffer. Being cordless allows you to work much faster than dragging a cord around. You just need to have 3 batteries so one is always charging. 5.0 ah battery lasts about 15-20 minutes.

Milwaukee never disappoints
I opted for the 6″ 21mm throw, my coworker has the 5″ 15mm throw. They more less work identical, just a personal preference and application preference. I ð¯ percent recommend and also recommend using the 3M orbital polishing system with this tool. Makes your life much easier.
