Cordless angle grinder (4.5inch): recommendations
Hello all.
I'm thinking about buying a cordless grinder and I would appreciate recommendations. I have an old, very cheap 7inch or 9inch corded grinder gathering dust in the garage. It's one a bought years ago, for doing one job (patio slab cutting) and I've rarely used it since. Big, cumbersome thing. What I actually want is a grinder that will be a more versatile tool, mainly for metal cutting, cleaning, shaping etc, but also some wood work and maybe brick, tile etc. I'm a DIYer/hobbyist, so trade-rated durability isn't hugely important. Comfort of use and effectiveness is important. First up, are 18v units okay, or should I push the boat out and get a 36v? Brands: Makita, Bosch, Milwaukee? On the other hand, for my purposes, will an el cheapo machine suffice? Is there a big weight/performance/ergonomics difference? Thanks. Bill. |

I picked up one of the Lidl 20 volt 115 mm ones a few weeks ago. It is certainly not as powerful as a mains machine, but it does the job. Do you really need cordless? (I have horses at a stables with no power, so I have to take a genny if I need mains tools). Do you have other cordless tools? I wouldn't be without my Makita combi drill and impact screwdriver. Much more convenient if all your tools take the same battery and/or charger I've got a couple of 24v Bosch drills, but they're old tech, now. I take your point about having a family of tools that use the same battery/charger. I should probably give some thought to which other toys I might want to buy in the near future and make my grinder decision in the light of that. Cheers. Bill. |
