Review on πŸ’ͺ Powerful Performance: Metabo HPT Grinder 4 5 Inch G12SE3 by Mark Walsh

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bad switch design.

I own a plasma cutting shop and do a lot of grinding. I have used grinders from almost every major brand and my favorite over the years has been the Hitachi G12SE2. Metabo made the engine a little stronger, which it didn't need at all. They made the body narrower, but much longer. Unfortunately, they completely redesigned the locking paddle switch, which was one of the best features of the old model. The new switch is very difficult to lock. I would not recommend this coffee grinder again and will be returning to Milwaukee. While Dewalt has good design, their motors just don't last.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
