Electric tools are all the rage, with their ease of use and nifty components providing users with all sorts of reasons to brag about their purchases.

In that vein, YoloReviews (@YoloReviews) on YouTube detailed a Ryobi ONE+ 4.5-inch angle grinder, which operates on the company's standard 18-volt battery.

"This thing is awesome," the creator said.

They noted it has a movable handle, an adjustable blade guard, and a handy locking mechanism by the trigger to prevent it from being turned on accidentally.

The creator's favorite feature was a partially hidden wrench for changing the tool's wheels, or discs.

"I always feel like I never have this when I'm working with a grinder," they said. "But Ryobi made it super convenient that you can put this right here in the handle, and you will never be missing it or losing it."
