Review on πŸ”© Metabo HPT G12SR4: Ultimate Lightweight Grinding Machine for Precision Results by Deshaun Fisher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good price and good performance

I am a fairly experienced grinder user. I bought Bosch and Metabo HPT at the same price for comparison. I have better cars, but I wanted something cheap and nasty that I could throw around and get dirty without too much worry. Both shipped right to my door for only $40 each - both made in China. Both offer excellent value for money and good value for money. The Metabo HPT feels heavier and vibrates a bit more than the Bosch. Bosch has simpler protection settings. The gear area of each of these gearboxes gets quite hot during operation - this can be from a lack of lubrication (or poor lubrication) - or it can be a normal design feature (they run really fast). The Metabo HPT comes with a plastic case and 5 discs, so you really get a coffee grinder for around $30 with shipping. Metabo HPT has a longer guarantee. A full-time user will likely need something with a larger motor every day, but a self-employed user will serve both well. Overall, you will be satisfied with one or both!

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
