"I'm a big fan of the Makita brand owning 6 other Makita power tools, but this grinder was the biggest let down ever. Although it feels nice in the hand, has a good quality mains cable, comes with a metal grinding blade and was not a bad price, the extremely poor on/off switch means I will be returning this to Screwfix Monday morning for a full refund.
The switch is so bad that after 30 seconds of use I put this grinder back in its box and used my clapped out Bosch that I've had for 10 years!
Wish I'd read the reviews for the othe Makita grinders before buying this"

Ok Ash go buy your pound shop grinder. Cant be told, wont be told !

"Be carefully with this one lads on off switch is rubbish,changed 1st 1 takeing 2nd back tomorrow, won't be getting another worst Mikita tool I tried to date. Ps screwfix have been 1st class

 

[Gazzer]

If I had had any issues with stuff I use I would say so and would not recommend them !

 

[charlie1]

Lol, they probably don't know how to use them, the switch is slightly unorthodox to use, must be a safety thing. I have no problems with any of my 3 makitas.

I'm on my third Makita, and when this one dies or gets nicked again, I'll be buying a fourth.
Think you'll need a half decent blade too

 

[Mr Tiler]

sorted

Thats how we did it before grinders !!

:rofl: *shakes head!* painful! If the job was easy, everyone could do it!
How'd du think we coped before all these lovely labour saving devices Ash? C'mon man sort it out! Haha oh we used to have loads of jumpers with holes in too! Mark of a tiler, well apart from the messy ones who have addy covered trousers! Haha

I can't be bothered to read through the whole thread, but is there a reason you haven't taken your grinder back, as it will still be under warranty!?!

Smashing it off the side of the skip may have voided any warranty !!

Oh! Lol

You dont reckon he has had an accident with the new grinder do you ?
