Overview
Not a cordless grinder, this is a mains-powered tool with a trigger switch that runs a spinning wheel at the listed speed. The kit includes an inner and outer flange, a side handle and three guards for different wheel diameters.
A spread of guards in the box is the reason to buy it, since the kit works with several accessories out of the case. The limitation is the cord, plus a listing that skips thread size and dust control.
Who it's for
Fabricators, masons and general contractors who grind, cut and clean up welds near an outlet get a full kit. A user who works where there is no power should look at a cordless grinder.
Pros and cons
- Guards for three wheel diameters
- Side handle included
- Trigger switch operation
- Corded power without battery fade
- Spindle thread not listed
- Dust shroud not mentioned
- Cord limits reach
- Wheels and discs not included
Performance notes
Wheel speed and motor power set how fast material comes off, and the trigger switch lets the user stop the wheel quickly. The correct guard must match the wheel diameter, and the side handle gives a second grip to resist kickback. Wheels wear down as they cut, so a worn wheel loses speed at the work.
