I have an much older 4" Makita slide switch angle grinder that works great, I purchased this one so I do not have to change between cutting discs, grinding wheels and brushes as much. I feel my 4 1/2" Makita paddle switch is unhandy and heave to use for long durations.
It came in it's original case, clean and in perfect condition. It had REFURBISHED decals on the tool it self and on the case. First time I try MAKITA brand, most of the tools I own are Milwaukee and DeWalt but I got a very good impression with Makita very fine tool : smooth operation, powerful and very ergonomic.
i am a tile setter and this grinder have the thinnest body I have ever seen being very comfortable to make precision cuts on the tile, very soft and with enough power to do any job
I found it to be a good value. The slide switch latching could be an issue though if wear over time causes it to not stay engaged in the on position. All in all a good working tool priced less than one would expect.
I received the grinder in a very short amount of time , took it out of the box & looked it over & put it together. The next day I took it outside plugged it in and started grinding the heads off of some 1/4" shoulder bolts. I was impressed how quickly it buzzed through the first 2 bolts , on the 3rd bolt it started. smoking & quit . I returned it the next day Jack Stovall
I have owned Makita tools many times in my life and have loved them but this one did not last 10 minutes but it was also a factory refurbished item witch I will never buy again.
