Metabo HPT 4-1/2-Inch Angle Grinder, Includes 5 Grinding Wheels & Hard Case, 6.2-Amp Motor, Compact & Lightweight, G12SR4

Purchased this grinder for the sole purpose of sharpening lawnmower blades, with sandpaper flapper discs. Really nicely built- quality is there. No ought edges. Looks like a quality tool, as Ive come to expect from Metabo. Comes in a good case. I love that it's easy to store, because the case gives lots of room for the cord. The handle installs either left or right side, which is great when you need to hold it offhanded. Auger tightened up and never slipped back, off either the hard cutting discs provided or my flapper discs. Power is lower than some others, but it just depends what your intending to use it for. Really good grinder for the price

Seems like a really good value. Only used it a little but it seems very well made.

solid, easy to use and great for my home projects

Just a basic, solid tool that does the job well. The case is nice, but I'd happily pay $5 less if they kept it, as well as the assorted grinding wheels. I've purchased 2 or 3 of these over the years now, and since I abuse them I've got extra cases and would prefer if it and the largely superfluous grinding wheel were an optional extra. Other than that, no gripes. A good tool.

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was expecting a piece of junk that sounded like a coffee can full of rocks. This tool has a very substantial feel and appears to be good quality. Angle grinders are never the smoothest-running power tools, but this one feels a lot closer to one of my better grinders than it does to one from the local tool place that sells cheap imports; and I have bought many of both. This is definitely better made than the cheapo variety. It is true that the on-off switch is a little stiff. It’ll probably loosen up a bit with use. It’s not a problem in any case. I have expensive angle grinders, but I like to use cheap ones for dirtier jobs that don’t require the power of a more expensive tool. This one will be perfect for that use. 6.2 amps is plenty for many light tasks such as wire brushing the slag off of welds and the like. This is a good buy, and when it does go to tool heaven, the case - and those aren't cheap - will live on.EDIT: I just spent a full day on a welding project and used this grinder quite a bit. I have several angle grinders with different flap disks, wire brushes, cutoff wheels etc. because no one likes changing the wheels constantly. The last one of my cheap grinders from the freight place stopped working altogether - it's switch hasn't locked for a long time but at least it spun. I replaced it with another one of these Metabo HPTs. They're a good machine for a low price. Hard to beat and even though the price has gone up 25% over what I paid, it's still a very good value.

Use this all the time. Used it to scrape mastic off our floor, used it to cut black pipe, used it to fix my car. Excellent device

Used this a lot. Never bogged down. Cuts, grinds and polishes with no problems. I love this brand and this grinder adds more to my preference. Very pleased.

I put a metal cutting disk on this bad boy, and it is fantastic. I build 4x8 fence panels as a side business, and this little guy is perfect for cutting the hardware cloth. Easy to control, and the right amount of power to make my job a lot easier.
