The Ryobi PBLAG02B is an 18V ONE+ HP brushless 4-1/2 in. angle grinder and cut-off tool optimized for cutting applications. Its angled grip geometry keeps hands and arms clear of sparks during vertical and overhead cuts, and improved heat management extends motor life during sustained cutting sessions — Ryobi rates it at approximately 210 cuts per charge with a 4.0 Ah battery. The brushless motor delivers 9,200 RPM no-load speed with the efficiency and longevity advantages brushless provides over brushed alternatives. Sold as a bare tool, it pairs with any Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery already in your collection.
Does the PBLAG02B come with a battery?
No. The PBLAG02B is the bare tool only — no battery or charger is included. It accepts any Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery. For a complete kit with a 4.0 Ah HP battery and charger, see the PBLAG02K1.
How many cuts can the PBLAG02B make per charge?
Ryobi rates the PBLAG02B at approximately 210 cuts per charge when paired with a 4.0 Ah battery. Actual cut count will vary based on material thickness, disc condition, and operator technique.
What makes this different from the PBLAG01B standard grinder?
The PBLAG02B features an angled grip design that positions the operator's hands away from sparks during cutting — particularly useful for overhead or vertical cuts. It also incorporates improved heat management for sustained cutting sessions. The PBLAG01B uses a flat profile that is more versatile for both grinding and cutting but lacks the ergonomic cutting-specific geometry.
What size cutting wheels does the PBLAG02B accept?
The tool accepts 4-1/2 in. cutting and grinding wheels with a 5/8 in. x 11 UNC arbor. Use standard thin-kerf cut-off wheels for metal cutting and Type 27 wheels for grinding applications.
Is the PBLAG02B compatible with all Ryobi ONE+ batteries?
Yes. The PBLAG02B is part of the ONE+ HP platform and accepts all Ryobi 18V ONE+ batteries — from older standard cells to the latest HIGH PERFORMANCE packs. For maximum cutting performance and runtime, Ryobi recommends the HP battery series.
