What's The Best Brand Angle Grinder?

[Mitcheyp]

Need to purchase a angle grinder and was wondering which brand is the best.
And also what's best 4 1/2 inch or 9 inch.

 

[lizzardtong]

Try metabo with balancing system

Ive had my makita about 7 years now, never cleaned it , dropped it, kicked it and kissed it, still going strong, its bomb proof [emoji106]

 

[widler]

****,Just watch,now it will break down today on my limestone job [emoji16]

 

[Mitcheyp]

What makita grinder isit thanks

 

[stephenoneill]

Yep makita bar none .small fits easily in the hand for more control and powerfull .as above bomb proof and cheap as chips

 

[Mitcheyp]

Thanks I think I might go with makita where's the best place to purchase?

 

[kaharrison9]

I'm happy with the quality of the Bosch 7 115 light, slim and powerful

 

[Mitcheyp]

Thanks a few people have told me about Bosch

We are currently running a forum offer on the Flex angle grinder bundled with our blades but it seems each time I post it it's removed.

So here it is again - the Flex L3709 115mm Grinder in 110v or 230v bundled with our four best selling blades for tilers £99 + vat (£118.80) includes delivery to mainland UK:-

To be honest, this is a good deal as well

Can't go wrong with a Bosch.

Saying that, I treated myself to a Makita tool kit just before Christmas.......it has a 18v cordless grinder, which is bloody brill as well.

I've got a bosch had it 17 years I kid you not !! It's just starting to make a slight funny noise

I have this one in my kit as well, it is a top bit of kit, BUT it's pricey just for a grinder , although I only paid £100 for mine off eBay

 

[Mitcheyp]

The GCT looks a really good bit of kit does it through a lot of blades

 

[Russell brown]

Love my bosch grinder, my mate has a makita and I can't stand the feel.

 

[widler]

I use mine on ceramic/porca and the makita on stone,.
They just use blades as normal depending on how much you use them.
Just buy ATS blades ,cheap as chips and good blades, or buy the flex which ATS are selling, never used the grinder but I've heard they are good

I've got 2 Makita grinders, a variable and a non variable speed, both are great, the variable speed is quite a bulky unit though. I have just invested in a dewalt cordless grinder as well, that is a brilliant tool and it lasts a good while when used with the 4.0ah batteries.

Hi,
we use Makita and Bosch personally I prefer Makita
good luck with your choice

[White Room]

Bosch for me...

 

[roadking]

hilti 22v cordless absolutely fantastic !!! have 2 batteries and it lasts all day whatever the tile... ceramic, porcelain or even marble.....

 

[area tiling]

I've had bosch , metabo , dewalt , hitachi , and makita ! Been using makita for a year now and it's a good light machine , ample power , easy on the hand , only downside for me is the on/off switch, sticks a lot ! Bosch was lightest and smallest in the hand , great power great machine ! Dewalt I found to heavy and clumsy ! For me , when my makita burns out I'll buy another bosch !

 

[Spud]

I just bought a 110v hitachi grinder prefer it to my makita it's got a better switch

 

[peteablard]

I've got a 110v makita, 2 110v Bosch and an 18v Makita. The cordless gets used more than any of the others at the moment. It surprised me how well it coped although a good supply of charged batteries is needed if it's going all day

 

[radim]

240 dewalt, 110 bosch, cordless hilti here

 

[cuemanlew]

Makita 18v with a rubi wheel, very adequate for everything that's been thrown at it so far

 

[Old Mod]

Flex no contest, heavier than most probably but built like a brick out house and cos it's a dedicated stone tool, copes with the dust and abuse!
Of which mine gets lots! Haha

 

[Dannym80]

240v Bosch, 110v Bosch and 18v Dewalt, the 240v Bosch is the smallest & most comfortable to use that I've found!

 

[Simon benn Leeds]

Makita by far!...
Had just about every brand over the last 20 years and always go back to these.
Blade wise.. Beava premium continuous blades, strong thin and accurate.

 

[Aston]

Never used Beava blades.
Are they good on porcs? Do they last long.
Any reviews welcome
