6 amp is extremely weak, will bog down with little effort, pretty light duty.

Refurb Makita tools I've purchased from CPO have been awesome. Like new condition - actually refurbished by Makita USA, not some unknown company/seller. I got a different blade than what was advertised with my circular saw, so I reached out to CPO who forwarded my request to Makita, and they sent me a 10 pack of the correct blades. Excellent service!

My family member who does more this type of work said not to get 4" blade grinder, but to get 4.5" instead. Does this matter?

Looking at getting a Angle Grinder for Auto work / cutting Metal.
Dont mind if its corded (im in the Ryobi and Ridgid ecosystem for batteries if that helps), dont want something expensive but do want something thats safe.
Are there any ones I should keep a look out for?

Main issue is that you won't be able to use 4.5" discs on it, and that is a very common size.

On the "weak" comment - I have two different angle grinders, purposely one powerful and one weak. Sometimes you want weak. Depends what you are working on. Mine may be something like 11A and 4A. Getting your first one, a weak one may be just fine.​

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

ive owned this angle grinder for 10+ years now. Its not under powdered for most jobs, and ive used it often the last 4+ years on worksites, with ZERO issues. 4" blades are no issue, can easily be found on Amazon for sub ~ $12 for a 4-pack or so. Big box stores, maybe not so lucky.


**Clarifying my comment of "job sites". I work as a traveling mechanic and contractor for small home repairs as a part-time job. This angle grinder has been used in both fields zero issues.

yes! I have an x2 makita circular saw and then a rinky-dinky CXT 12v 3.5" makita circular saw. I use the little one ALL the time. It is light, small, and very manueverable... doesn't burn wood easily...

truly it is not about how big or how powerful, but how nicely it does the job....

None of my grinders have broken not even the HF one so not sure if I should buy this... But why is it shown without a guard ? (nvm its shown in the parts list).

Yes... 4" blades cost about the same and sometimes more than the found anywhere 4-1/2" that give longer usage for same application and longer reach. Meanwhile, you can also use 4" on a 4-1/2" grinder that makes the 4-1/2" more versatile if you don't value time with changing the 4" discs more often.

Some of our Makita's will take a 4, 4-1/2 and 5" blade, wheel, disc, etc. There are also different types of guards for different applications and ease of usage. As well, the higher amp grinders are typically better built, but you do pay more for what is going to also be a heavier tool.

That said, it is your money and only you know what you need one for. If once a year, or don't know when, grab an on sale $10 Harbor Freight 4-1/2" version and be done with it. They are usually good for about 50 to 100 hours before bearings fall out.

Yes, I know this particular Metabo deal is now expired...but I see it pop up fairly regularly. What about this refurb makes it a great deal, unless I just can't wait?

Anyone know where I could find some Makita batteries for cheap? I got their cordless leaf blower a while back but it didn't come with a battery. Was hoping this deal might come with one but apparently not.

I hate how each took brand has its own proprietary battery... It's like you have to choose one brand and stick to it and I don't know which brand to choose haha. I started with ryobi but now I'm considering switching to Makita but I hear more people talk about Dewalt.

The Makitas are a defacto standard for angle grinders. But that said $30 for the Hitachi isn't bad. This particular Makita is for a 4" vs the HPT is a standard 4.5". The gear drive on the Makita is likely a smidge better, bit more balanced and refined but these are literally lowest out there. Would pick either over the $10-20 harbor freight deals.

Some generalized feedback. The 4 vs 4.5" wheel is a thing, I wouldn't typically recommend the 4" unless you are buying this to put a wire cup on for cleaning. 4.5" discs have worlds more options and much better price/consumption. More flap discs, more grinding stones, cut off wheels, straight wire wheels, etc. Also keep in mind that even a 4.5" will have a higher cutting speed than a 4" (well, till you wear the 4.5" disc down to 4"). But for the guys who are actually researching this and that statement made you think "ohhh, curious" you probably don't have a few 13 amp grinders laying around and this is your starting point.

If you own a Dremel you should consider buying a 4.5" grinder to have, $30 with a cut off wheel, maybe grab a finer grit sanding disc. And don't be scared of it. It'll go a long way in your cutting projects.

Yes 6amp ones can bog easier but its fine. Actually my small 6-7amp Makita 4.5" is one of my favorite grinders at home because its small, light and predictable. Keep one around to throw cut-off wheels on and you probably won't be disappointed. I have burned them out before on thinker metalwork projects that require 220v welders, its all about the right tool for the job but its hard to hate on a small makita, or two grinders is better than one. and 6 grinders are better than two Big Grin

I would skip

Years ago this came up, I bought it right away. Turned it on, got scared, never have touched it since. I really needed an angle grinder so I did research. There are many safety features that higher end angle grinders offer that make a real difference. Trust me when I say angle grinder accidents are VERY bad. You will want to faint just by looking at them. Someone can easily say that with any power tool out there but no other one scares me as much as an angle grinder.

If you're wanting to protect yourself, here are some common safety technologies to look out for in higher quality angle grinders:
  • Pinch or Stall detection (immediately stops rotation if detected)
  • Electronic brake
  • Kickback break
Those three simple things above make a world of difference when it comes to safety. There are many many other things too like for example not using a fractured disk even if its hairline, using the tool correctly, wearing full safety gear even if its insanely hot to wear. Makita, Bosch, DeWalt and Milwaukee all make really nice angle grinders with modern safety tech at a price. If you want to support a fully American owned company, go with DeWalt.
