    The Makita angle grinder is compact and powerful. Used for cutting & trimming 1″ conduit and grinding welds. Worked like a champ.

    I have owned several angle grinders and I believe this one to be the best one yet.I love the paddle switch and the way it handles.I have used it to sharpen lawnmower blades, cut angle iron and grind large bolt heads off.Bought from Amazon shipping was very fast packaging in good shape. I would recommend this product to anyone.

    I sold tools for a living in my recent past. The Makita grinders were the ones that got returned for repair the least. There are a few good grinders out there, they all cost more than the “one job junk” that some people are happy to have. I learned from my customers that Makita, with it’s venting system to keep grit out of the motor, will outlast most any of them. The masonry contractors especially insisted on Makita; and these guys would wear out three or four a year, per man !

    I like Bosch and Milwaukee too, but every one of these companies has a tool where they really got it right. I aim to wear out my Makita grinder doing the stuff I enjoy !

    It works great, and that’s what I demand.

    i bought this as a back up to the ones i already own. they work just fine. i get a lot of use out of them, and the more i use them the more versatile i find them.

    This paddle switch grinder is a step up from the cheap ones you will find at places like Home Depot. It has enough power and is easy to use. Our company goes through a lot of grinders, as we work on concrete only where they take a beating and suffer under the conditions. This grinder is better than most, while affordably priced. The metal case is cool, too.

    On a side note, DO NOT buy any equipment here from “CPO Makita”, as they are nothing but a bunch of crooked re-sellers pushing defective equipment that they refuse to return or replace. Buyer beware – they stole from me with no remorse whatsoever, and they managed to keep my feedback off the web page, thus this oddly placed warning! Please be careful. I’ve never had a problem with items purchased directly from Amazon!
