Review on Angle grinder Metabo WEV 850-125, 850 W, 125 mm by Micha Bialik (Eagle) ᠌
It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.
In general, the angle grinder is made neatly, there is a lot of lubrication in the gearbox, it will serve for a long time under small loads. Analogues (weight no more than 1.9 kg, speed control) are mostly purebred Chinese. There is Dewalt at a reasonable price, but in the reviews they scold her . So far, ushm suits. Got pros: I took it primarily for its low weight (1.9 kg, it is more convenient to grind with one hand) and the presence of speed control. Has cons: There is a Makita 5030 angle grinder available (alas, there is no speed control), so it’s really more convenient to hold it with one hand. The metabo has a black casing, which is noticeably thicker in the back than in the front. The balance of the angle grinder is average, at some speeds there is a strong vibration. Unlike the same Makita, the gearbox is closed with a plastic rather than a metal black clutch. This clutch fits worse than a metal one - stronger at the bolt attachment points, weaker between the bolts. There is a backlash of the gearbox, subjectively it is more than on the existing Makita, which has been serving for the 5th year.
