Makita 9557PB 4-1/2" Paddle Switch Angle Grinder, with AC/DC Switch

I do autobody work for a living (30+years). If you are going to use a grinder every day I suggest pneumatic tools. Yes, with everyday use electronic tools will wear out quicker than pneumatic tools because they are subject to more heat and have sealed bearings. With pneumatic tools not only does the air keep them cool but you can oil them before use, as you should. If you dont have a compressor then this is a good grinder to use because of a few reasons. I purchased this for grinding welds as I can put more pressure on it without it slowing down like pneumatic grinders do. Electric grinders offer a constant speed to get a more accurate finish, and this is importand for grinding welds that will not be covered with a filler or seam sealer. But before I brought it to my shop I used it at home for a few things. I am so happy with it Im thinking of getting another one so I can keep it at home for small projects. I dont have to run my compressor at home to grind anymore. I purchased a Dewalt wire wheel (3 different types) so I can use this to remove rust on outside furniture, lawn equipment or just about anything. It does even a nicer job with a wire wheel for removing rust. The paddle switich is the safest way to go and its not to large of a grinder so you can maneuver it around small spaces. It is a small price to pay for much satisfaction. This tool does a real nice job and I would recomend it to anyone.

This tool was perfect for what I needed, and never hesitated while I abused it over and over again. I used it with a diamond cup grinding wheel to grind 51 year old carpet glue and residue off of my 600 sq. ft. cement basement floor and it worked perfectly. I liked the trigger lock, though it took a bit of getting used to to engage it. With all of the dust from cement grinding, I thought the tool might die in the middle of the project so I ordered a second one just in case. But, the first one just kept going so the replacement one is still sitting in its box.

Works good. Alot faster and beefier than a cordless grinder. I use it to remove bulk material and for longer run times rather than just burning through batteries constantly. Feels just like the old style ones, you definitely feel the power with these. No regrets buying name brand here

Exelente machine

I'm Happy to buy this product and i recommend it

Good, wish it had variable speed. Bad was the tool provided to remove the disk. Should have some instructions on how to fit the two nuts on disk. Seems it is just trial and error

La verdad estoy muy satisfecho con la herramienta!La recomiendo!...

Perfecto
