For the past six years, my dad has kept one of these grinders in the garage. This was the primary tool used, however a larger Makita was also available. Because I used a good tool all the time, I failed to recognize its superiority. When I was fixing things around the flat, I borrowed a grinder from my neighbor and turned it on without thinking twice, sending her hands flying. I almost lost my mind, sent this marvel back, and purchased myself a dear Makita 9558hn, with which you can cut metal, wood, plastic, and more with a single hand without experiencing any vibration or buzzing. To sum up: overpay a couple thousand dollars once and forget what you suffered by spending this money not on a tool, but on drink, rather than on something that will provide you joy for the rest of your life.
