Greenworks introduces the 24V Pro AG590 4 1/2-inch angle grinder, aiming to offer professional-grade cordless cutting on a tighter budget.
Greenworks is expanding its 24V power tool ecosystem with the release of the AG590 4 1/2-inch cordless angle grinder. Designed to offer a balance between affordability and professional capability, the tool targets tradespeople and DIYers seeking a cost-effective secondary grinder or an entry point into a modern 24V battery line.
The AG590 fits into the established 4 1/2-inch (115mm) disc standard, making it compatible with widely available cutting and grinding accessories. By building out its 24V range, Greenworks is aiming directly at users who require reliable performance without paying the premium associated with traditional top-tier professional platforms.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For tradespeople looking to equip an extra van or DIYers wanting to tackle metalwork and masonry cutting without corded hassle, this launch provides a budget-friendly alternative to established 18V and 54V systems from major brands. However, buyers should carefully evaluate platform lock-in: if you already hold significant stock in 18V batteries from standard trade brands sold at Screwfix or Toolstation, introducing a separate 24V battery architecture may add inconvenience that outweighs the initial saving on the bare unit.
The addition of specialized metalworking tools to the 24V line suggests Greenworks is serious about pushing beyond basic garden machinery and light DIY power tools. For users already invested in the 24V platform, the AG590 adds practical versatility for site prep, chasing, and pipe cutting without needing to invest in a secondary voltage system.
