Have not used the one linked, Bosch ones are good.
However, if some clown puts one on upside down the only way to get them off is with a cutting disk.

I use the Bosch ones on the 9inch grinder, only drawback is if you put on upside down your are not getting it off in one piece

I bought a couple of Milwaukee quick release nuts, They take a fair bit of effort to release, Would not buy this make again.

Thanks guys, you learn something every day - IF YOU PAY ATTENTION, according to my old teacher. I've never seen those so will get some on order tomorrow. The cheaper ones of course.

How do the Milwaukee ones work?

My Metabo came with a quick nut. You would struggle to get it on the wrong way up.

That's the only thing that lets the Bosch ones down, easy to put on backward.

I have a Metabo....don't think it's even possible to put it on back to front? Theres little springs clip type things inside it

yeah but you only do it once!

I did... but it came off with a pair of stilsons on it

wouldn't be without them now, have one on every grinder :-)

I have not studied the workings of the Milwaukee but the release is a flip up sort of half a washer non too strong in my opinion. Luckily the do have a couple holes to take a pin wrench as well.

Thanks, so is it just basically to turn it into a wing nut for releasing? No internal mechanisms like the Bosch? With them you just turn and it clicks then it is free to spin off.

Which is, of course, on the only grinder you have...and is held on by the quick-release gadget.
