A: The 21V lithium battery provides several hours of continuous use per full charge.
Q: Is it heavy or hard to move around?
A: At 9 lbs it's a professional-grade tool — heavier than the V12 (2.9 lbs) but built for larger tile formats and higher RPM output.
Q: How do I know which vibration level to use?
A: Start on a lower setting and increase as needed based on tile size and substrate. Larger, heavier tiles generally benefit from higher vibration levels.
Q: What's the difference between the TuffQuake 8" and the V12?
A: The TuffQuake 8" has a larger 8" disc, higher RPM (23,000 vs 12,000), 6 adjustable speeds, and handles tiles up to 71" — built for maximum coverage on the largest formats. The V12 is lighter (2.9 lbs vs 9 lbs), faster to charge (2 hours), and comes with 2 batteries — ideal for speed and portability on mid-to-large format panels.
