This is an excellent heavy-duty steel case that fits the magnum grinder. Plus, there is extra room for other grinding disks and the wrench. Like other reviews I read before I bought this case, the grinder does fit a little snug, but the rubber cushion compresses and that is what holds the tool tightly so that it has no chance of rattling around or getting damaged.
Foam rubber is snug on the Milwaukee 6148-6 Powerful 4-1/2-Inch Magnum Sander/Grinder. only thing I don't like about it is that its pretty. the foam will indent after a few days and will be easier to close the case. Works great. Thats what you want. I don't want to get it all banged up. Yes you can leave the handle on and close the case with the guard and backing plate on.
The foam rubber will fit the top part of the handle after a period of time. The grinder will not move while being transported. There is plenty of room for accessories. The grinder will fit in the case with the handle attached if you place pressure on the lid. The first review of this item is correct.
The case is made of steel and not plastic. It should be about 1/2" taller. It forms an identation at the handle. Bottom line, this is the best grinder case I've seen. I might add that this makes the grinder more secure in place.
To put my Milwaukee Magnum grinder in you have to remove the grinder wheel and the guard. That is totally uncool. At least that is what tech support at Milwaukee told me after I called them.
Its dimensions are 14-1/2 x 12 x 4-3/4". I contacted Milwaukee who told me that I would have to remove the handle to store the tool, which is not very practical, especially since the case looks to be offset in order to accommodate the side handle. I purchased this case for my Milwaukee grinder. If the case was 1/2" taller, it would fit perfectly. When I got it, it looked perfect. The edge of the side handle sticks up about 1/2" too high and there's no way to close it with the handle attached. I put my grinder and accessories in the case, everything looked perfect.
I was thrilled when I found it because most of Milwaukee's cases today are the plastic style which don't give you much room for extras. The grinder fits in angled, and slightly offset in order to accommodate the side handle, and there's plenty of extra storage space for anything you have. Doesn't make any sense to me. that is, until I tried to close the cover.
