Versatile & Light

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this variable speed angle grinder several months ago and love it! The variable speeds provide the versatility that you'd expect, but the light, easily held body allows me to use it with far more precision than the typical grinder. Plus, changing the wheel is simple.

Does the job

I've used it for tile and wood work. Holds steady at whatever speed it is set to. Good weight and balance. On/off switch is a little finicky getting used to in the beginning, but it's nothing that would make me not but it again.

Best angle grinder I've bought

I've had 3 wired angle grinders before this one. Compared to the earlier tools, this is by far the most enjoyable one to use. I like it's small diameter so it fits my hand comfortably and I do have small hands. I appreciate the variable speed feature and the way it applies more torque as I cut or grind material.
