Editor's Review: 4-1/2-in. Angle Grinders

by David Crosby review date: March 1, 2005

This 4-1/2-in. angle grinder is a well-constructed, solid tool that operates smoothly and has good balance and feel. Its raised-spindle lock is easy to use, and wheel changes are fairly easy. This machine's thumb latch guard system makes adjustments easy. Its vibration-dampening handle has two positions.
