A cordless angle grinder with slide switch, the Bosch GWX18V-13CN 18V Spitfire X-LOCK Connected-Ready 5 – 6 In. Angle Grinder with Slide Switch offers the best combination of performance, control, and power available in its class. It comes with the X-LOCK mount, which provides a wheel change interface that is up to five times faster than conventional interfaces, according to the manufacturer. When mounting an X-LOCK Wheel on an X-LOCK grinder, there is a distinct audible snap to be heard. Without the use of a spanner wrench or flange nuts, the wheel is securely mounted. The wheel is removed from the grinder by pulling a lever on the side of the machine. This tool is a part of the PROFACTOR System, which combines BITURBO Brushless Technology with a CORE18V PROFACTOR battery to create a powerful and reliable system. BITURBO Brushless Technology is a high-performance motor and drive-train system that is designed to deliver power that is comparable to that of high-demand corded tools, without the use of batteries. With connectivity (module sold separately), it can communicate with a connected device via the Bosch Toolbox App, allowing you to customize speed selection and individual mode settings on the device in question. Other advanced electronic features, such as the X-Brake, KickBack Control, drop control, and restart protection, are included in the grinder. It is equipped with spiral bevel gears and a side handle with a two-position Vibration Control.
There was mention of the x lock system, but there were no pictures of it. There was also no mention that the grinder required special wheels in order to operate. Overpriced grinder that necessitates the purchase of overpriced, difficult to obtain wheels.
