Makita GA9020S/2 240V 230mm Angle Grinder

I had to buy one quick as the one I had previously died after a lot of work and abuse. I was impressed with the quality. I've used it for a couple of years and it's going well and had a lot of use. Would buy again when I kill this one

This is a serious piece of kit. It's heavy, built like a tank and highly effective. With a diamond blade attached it sliced through a 100mm square 50 year old reinforced concrete fence post with absolute ease. The weight requires effort but adds inertia and probably helps with stability reducing the possibility of kick-back. The slow start feature is good too. Comes as a bare unit with just the box, guard and spanner. Instructions are basic but adequate. Assembly was easy enough once I'd worked out which model I have and stopped looking for a lever on the guard which apparently the other models have but mine doesn't. It certainly does the job.

I am building a new path at the front of my house and needed something to cut the block pavers with. I could have hired a block splitter but that only cuts in one direction. My path has an S bend in the middle and I have just spent the day cutting blocks to fit the corners. I am really happy with this cutter, it is quite heavy when first picked up but I have found that this aids control when cutting. This cutter will cut a 50x160 block in about 20 seconds and I have found that I can shave as little as 2mm with ease. I have come to expect quality from Makita and this grinder is no exception. I am more than happy to recommend it as a cracking bit of kit.

Well up to spec……..put a good quality diamond disc in it……..cuts through slate and slabs like butter…….. very powerful….bit on the heavy side when used for extended periods…….essential to use the side handle……if only for balance…..recommend

Bought this to replace one from a German chain which burned out. Little bit heavier than old . But would expect that with a better brand. So far I'm happy with it .👍
