Cordless grinders

[Topcourt]

Hi lads, I'm looking at getting a cordless grinder & can't make my mind up as to which one, makita, dealt or Bosch any advice would be much appreciated .

I have used Makita for a number of years now & think their stuff is great, got 2 18v grinders & they are superb..

ive got the makita cordless and cant fault it.With a 3.0 lithium battery you get a fair bit of cutting time with it.If ive a lot of cuts to do i get the 110 v grinder out as it also spins faster than the cordless

i have the makita too mate cant fault it and have not come up with a instance in the past year where it is not man enough for the job

I'd say Bosch all day long , I recently switched over to bosch from makita and i think its much better quality gear

 

[prceramics]

Do you work for bocsh ?

 

[jimmi-c]

Haha no mate. But i do rate them

I've got the Makita and its a great tool. I generally only use it for metal trims and on small ceramic jobs

Remember, if you get yourself a cordless grinder you will have to buy the body, batteries and charger. It makes sense if you stick with what make you already have for your other cordless tools.

I personally like and rate Makita and I took the plunge last year with buying the grinder, impact driver, drill, batteries, charger and box (although the box came with the drills). I also bought the vacuum, but I would not recommend it.

The vacuum is rubbish I have the extraction hoover that is better but expensive

[cheers for the advice, think I'm gona go for makita wiv 4amh batteries ,
Thanx again

 

[Topcourt]

Hi, do the Bosch grinders still take the normal 115mm discs, iv heard they you have to use Bosch blades only

 

[prceramics]

Double check the grinder takes the 4amh battery's

Bosch GWS takes anyone's discs.
