This angle grinder has a significant scope, not sure a person with small hands can use it. I bought it because I thought it would be lighter, easier and less tiring to use. This grinder is shorter than the 11 amp version, but its girth means you must have big hands to operate it with one hand and then your hand will still wear out faster. It's a very durable and well-made tool and will find opportunities to use it, which is why I'm keeping it.
