REVIEW
- Paddle switch angle grinders are safer than traditional angle grinders. Very safe specially when used with steel wire cup brushes. Angle grinders attached with gnarly steel wire cup brushes will shake and bounce violently and may cause serious body injury if it catches loose clothing. Wire cup brushes will bounce off forcefully on edges off steel bars making it very dangerous for a traditional switch angle grinders. Paddle switch angle grinders will turn off once you let go which feature is not applicable to traditional angle grinder that will continue turning and grinding when let go.

- You can turn on the device while wearing thick welding gloves.

- Strong and powerful. Can do any light to heavy duty metal grinding and cutting jobs.

- Electric motor is not very loud compared to previous angle grinders. I have a Maktec and a Chinese generic angle grinders and they are very loud compared to this one.

- Very good looking angle grinder and a nice addition to Makita power tools collection to brag them to your friends on social media. Ha! 😄
