Combine -Triangle[left] and -Triangle[width=x]

Question

Is it possible to combine the left and right option for arrows with options like length and witdth? I’d like to create an path ending in a 45° angle like this:

So I tried to combine the above mentioned options, but the following MWE doesn’t give the expected result …

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}

\tikzset{
   angled line/.style = {
      line width = 2mm,
      -{Triangle[left,width=2mm,length=2mm]}
   },
}

\begin{document}
   \begin{tikzpicture}
      \draw [angled line] (0,0) -- (2,0);
   \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Do these options interfere with each other?

@Symbol1 Thanks, thats a nice idea and works finde. Would you like to post it as an answer?! However I’m still interested why my approach doesn't work. — Tobi, Jul 26 '17 at 22:06
I am lazy to do so. You can write an answer. By the way, left/right does not work because you need an additional shift. See, for example, my previous answer to see how to achieve such shift. — Symbol 1, Jul 26 '17 at 22:22
