Amazing variable speed, smooth start and SJS 2 really works.

Great coffee grinder. A very good multi tool if you have the right blade for the job. From grinding, cutting to polishing tile edges. Amazing variable speed, smooth start and SJS 2 really works. I like it very much and use it every day. Only Makita has angle grinders.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

Makita 5 " Angle Grinder

Makita GA 5042. SJS II 5" Angle Grinder is the best angle grinder I have ever bought. I love him. I wouldn't trade it for something I should have I bought this item years ago, the soft start is amazing and the speed control is amazing and if you don't have this grinder you should get one with no regrets, here you go Makita did it again, great product

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The handle does not match the picture. Low quality cable.

Grinder is missing the cap and looks different than pictured. 16 gauge line, rubber jacket is very thin and will kink when bent. I don't expect this cord to last very long on an angle grinder. There is no fuse on the switch when you plug it in, if the switch is locked the grinder will start. Not the quality I expected from Makita. I have to say that this angle grinder did a quick job of removing rust and metal after using the grinding wheel that came with the kit and the flap wheel I bought…

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions
