This model definitely suited me. It's a bit heavier than I'd like to keep for a very long time - I've found it to be a compromise between wired (lighter weight) and battery powered (battery increases the weight you feel after holding it for a while). The battery power means you don't have to worry about that stupid cord getting in the way, but you know that after a while it was too heavy for me to hold this angle grinder. However, this power tool is one I CAN'T NOT have! Whether I'm cutting rusty bolts or rounding the corners of a slab of wood, I'll find a use for that corner. I really wish it had an extra battery and a pocket to keep everything in one place for easy finding and easy storage. It should be too if you do it yourself.
