Makita XAG20Z 18V LXT BL 4-1/2”/ 5" Paddle Grinder

I bought this grinder to replace a 15-year-old Makita battery grinder that I wore out. I like the paddle handle, the safety lock on the paddle is a bit fiddly but it's a good safety idea. The variable speed is helpful, it's easy to change the wheels/brushes with the spanner wrench and the tool has good ergonomics. it's brushless and feels solid in my hands.It has enough power for smaller jobs. If I need to get serious, I pull out my 120v Metabo grinder because NO battery grinder has the same power as a 120v model, especially a top brand grinder.I bought an extra spanner wrench and lock nut set for about $12 because if the OEM ones grow legs, you're sort of screwed.I like this tool for quick jobs. I used it today with a vitreous cut off wheel to make an adjustment on a wheeled base for my fireproof shop garbage can dolly. Worked great.If you're serious about your tools, get a battery grinder like this AND a corded version of whatever brand your prefer.
