Not what you want to hear but the newer 2900-series is more powerful, albeit a bit larger.View attachment 113315
Milwaukee M18 Fuel grinder. Really needed this last weekend to fix the exhaust on dads truck. Will have to do the other side eventually so will need it again. Also have to cut a mirror bracket off with it since it’s very rusty so I’m definitely going to use it. I ordered the tool and battery combo so I didn’t pay for the battery separately as that would of been crazy expensive but I didn’t expect it to come packaged separately. Still very happy with the purchase. Another great Milwaukee tool though I do like the design of some others better but it’s best to have the best of the best.
MaxTool is offering at $250 right now with a free 6.0 which is actually a huge step up from the old 5.0's with 18650 cells

edit: they also have the 2981 slide switch with same deal. I like paddles but Milwaukee screwed them up on the 2780 so they lost my trust in their ability to build a convenient, intuitive paddle switch on a battery powered grinder. I can't tell if they updated the paddle on your 2880 and I also don't know if the 2980 paddle got better.
