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

by David Crosby review date: March 1, 2005

Short and lightweight, this 4-1/2-in. angle grinder is good for occasional use. Its lock-on paddle switch is not as easy to use as similar switches on other grinders, and its wheel change capability is only fair. It is one of only three grinders in our test whose handle has three positions. A three-wire grounded cord is available.
