Angle Grinder...
Hi All,
I need to buy an angle grinder to cut some decorative concrete slabs. I've tried with a chisel, and they won't break with a neat enough finish. So, I've looked around and found them in all sorts of price ranges. Looking on screwfix I noticed a 'Kinzo' brand angle grinder that takes the larger 9" blades for only £19.99. Has anyone bought / used one of these? Are they any good? Amazingly they do a 4½" blade for £6.99!! I know for the job I'm doing the smaller blades would be fine, but I may need something bigger down the line. I know that cheap probably means it'll burn out on my third stone, but if anyone has one and knows different I'd be keen to know. If they are crap - which is a good value one? There's a ferm 4½ at ~£16 and a 2200W 9" 'GENERAL' brand one at £40. I also saw that there's a black and decker one for about £30 in Homesbase (4½") that has a more powerful motor than most on Screwfix. OK - so I'm confused. Is a known brand lower power one going to last longer (and be better to use) than a never heard of brand but more powerful machine. I'm keen to avoid a repeat of the homebase excel jigsaw and router palava (just don't buy HB excel!!) help! Matt |
