The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

There seems to have been no drop in efficiency since then. As well as grinding, I also use it to clean. I started by using a screwdriver that came with a charger and two batteries for 5A, and then I switched to a naked angle grinder carcass because, frankly, it's a pain to have to buy and haul around two luggage, two chargers, and four batteries. When I originally considered bringing along a screwdriver powered by 2A batteries, the shopkeepers gave me sound advice, assuring me that the batteries would survive for at least a few minutes while using the angle grinder. Using a disk, stripping, and just buzzing at idle with periodic replacement of cut components, I found that the 5A batteries lasted an average of 20 minutes, with the mode and load having absolutely no influence on the operating time. I use discs that are 1-1.2 mm thick for cutting. There are times when working with no string and electricity is not just cool, but crucial. Absolutely delighted with the acquisition!

Pros

After using traditional angle grinders with a cord and a power button, the design may seem a little foreign at first, but the ergonomics rapidly win you over, and the tool becomes a delight to use. A superb system for adjusting the placement of the shield. After three years of heavy use and only a handful of times resorting to the hexagon wrench to loosen the disk's clamping nut, it's clear that this design was well thought out. That lock is really cool. Good quality body material and a sturdy build. The pictures provided were taken after the item had been used often over the course of three years, as well as stored and transported in less than ideal conditions (a bag with other tools in the trunk of a car).

Cons

Ventilation slots for cooling, positioned at the base and removed by a very fine mesh, become blocked instantly upon operation. Whenever I get the chance, I don't spend much time reading. Scale quickly accumulated in the photo, blocking the protrusion on the base and the batteries. When cutting, the slag flies directly to the protruding base and battery, therefore I believe these are inevitable technological costs.
