quite dangerous tool could definitely be made more functional

90Β° angle on top throws sparks in the face. Makes it very difficult to control cutting. Definitely need to be redesigned like their competition. It's sad that it isn't.

Pros
  • Makita 4-pole motor delivers 26,000 rpm for faster grinding
Cons
  • Doubtful

Bulky and there are no speed and light settings.

This thing is really powerful compared to my Milwaukee colleagues. The problem is that it's the balls against the wall or nothing in between. The Milwaukee has a throttle body style that I prefer. It also has a light to see what you're grinding. I work in dark areas where this is really helpful. Other than that, it will get the job done.

Pros
  • Compact cylindrical handle with rubberized soft grip for easy grinding in different positions
Cons
  • There are even more interesting options.

Oddly huge/bigger than I expected

This thing is a brick. like the best Makita -Engineers would be working on it. It's huge. Like, VERY BIG. The handle is very thick. It's very easy to use and quite powerful. But it just doesn't feel like it should be that big. The angle grinder for example is well made (Makita 18v) and feels good in hand and is relatively compact However, this tool looks and feels silly Although useful It doesn't have a "lock" button if You use it change heads (e.g. Milwakee 1/8 Grinder) and you have to use the

Pros
  • Short neck design is only 12-1/8" long with battery (not included) for improved maneuverability
Cons
  • Big and bulky
