There probably is some sort of locking mechanism on the Milwaukee, but the release method is, as you say a fold up wing-nut,
I have the Bosch ones, they came free with some diamond blades. One downside on a small disc is that they sit proud by quite a bit. I've not had any issues with them.
I'm NOT going to try it but I would assume if you put one up the wrong way you should be able to twist the grippy bit in a clockwise direction while turning the disc in an anti clockwise direction may get them off. You would need 3 hands
I have three of these yes they sometimes can get a bit tight but takes nothing more than a screwdriver as a lever NO BIG DEAL ! Not suitable for a 9 in grinder unfortunately.I bought a couple of Milwaukee quick release nuts, They take a fair bit of effort to release, Would not buy this make again.
Looks like they must have changed the design to be clown proofI've have just checked my spare Bosch one, it has a blanking cap that stops you putting it on the wrong way
They some times do get a bit tight on the 9" but they dont usually take alot to release I always use them on the 9"I have three of these yes they sometimes can get a bit tight but takes nothing more than a screwdriver as a lever NO BIG DEAL ! Not suitable for a 9 in grinder unfortunately.
That's a nice feature as well. The power of these cordless grinders is going up and up all the time and they often kick out in the event of a lock up rather than stall like they used to. A clutch to save you a potential hospital visit is a top idea.the milwaukee type they have a clutch built into them that slips if the disc locks up, I have a few off them and like them.

Me too mate. Always with a gloved mit for nipping up.Recon I must be losing my grip to old age, I always tighten my 150mm angle grinder discs just by a gloved hand, never with the pin wrench as they self tighten anyway,
neither has mine they dont even have gear locks, some of mine are 30yrs old that why I use the nuts with a clutch in them to make the job easier to undo.My old Makita 9 in has no such thing as a clutch
Yeah what he's saying is you add a clutch type device to it for £8 through changing the nut.My old Makita 9 in has no such thing as a clutch and takes no prisoners cuts like a demon. Must be respected. You need to hang on tight to that Mo Fo
