Editorial Review:

4-1/2" Paddle Switch Grinder, Ball & Needle Bearing Construction, Service Minder Brushes, Takes The Guesswork Out Of Preventative Maintenance AC/DC Capability, Extended Versatility Working From AC To DC Outlets Ergonomic Paddle Switch, With Lock On Switch For Better Operator Comfort & Control.

Grinders lack the glamour of routers, say, and compound miter saws, but when it's a grinder you need, we don't think there are too many better choices out there than this one. "You get what you pay for" is, we think, even more true in the world of tools than elsewhere, and this is definitely a case in point.

We've never met a Bosch tool that lacked quality, precision engineering, ergonomics and power, and this grinder is no exception. Our favorite feature on this one is definitely the paddle switch, not just for comfort and convenience, but for the ultimate in safety and control. We're not big fans of the lock-on button, because it negates the safety feature of the paddle switch, but we know some of you wouldn't have it any other way.

As for user ease, it's fabtastic. It weighs in just over 4 pounds, and the balance in hand is supreme. Up against other grinders in its class, the vibration is absolutely minimal, virtually eliminating that unpleasant arm-buzz. Another thing we like about this grinder is its ability to draw power from DC outlets, so if you'll be grinding welds, this tool is a perfect choice.

The 4-1/2-inch wheel changes out fast, and the guard adjusts without tools. The whole tool says "quality," from the sealed switch to the ServiceMinder™ brushes that automatically shut down the tool when it's time to change them, ensuring that this workhorse will be with you for a long, long time. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Seems solid:

Works nicely, seems well-built. I would have liked clearer instructions about the rpm adjustments (some discs require higher rpms, some less). I've used one other brand of angle grinder, and this is far superior.

Great Grinder:

We already bought more than 10 of these grinders and they are the best value for the $$$ you pay.
Previoulsly used Metabo, Makita, DeWalt but none can compare with Bosch.
Highly recomend it.

A great tool for the daily grind:

I bought this grinder to deal with an immediate problem but soon found it to be frequently useful. I purchased it after reading several reviews on this site and others, and I am very pleased with the results.
This machine has a small but powerful motor that doesn't yield to pressure, and yet it's light-weight and easy to handle and control. Changing grinding wheels or brushes is a snap, and the power switch is conveniently positioned for control and safety.
I have used it on plastics, metals and... more info

great power and comfort!:

I have been using this for about a month now and the power and comfort is great. The design of the switch realy lets you get into the project without the arm fatigue. Power wise, I have tried to bog it down can't do it. I have used nothing but Bosch tools and will continue using them.
