What grinder do you prefere

[swanman]

Hi all
my bosch grinder bit the dust today
I'm thinking of getting a makita 115 mm
Whats your preferences in the grinder market

 

[nybor62]

makita would be my 1st choice

go for metabo.

Just bought a Bosch 115mm. Got it from screwfix, £38.99 i think it was. If i only get a year out of it it's worth that money i reckon. I've had makita's, metabo's, dewalt. They are all much the same i think.

I have 4 makitas currently but I recently used my friends bosch and was very impressed, slightly slimmer so you could grip it better and when you switch it off , the wheel stops much quicker. Bosch will be my next choice

On my 3rd Bosch........can't go wrong.

bosch for me, trigger is easier to control for one thing.

 

[swanman]

Thanks guys
i think I will go for a makita

 

[Dougs Third Go]

lol, popular consensus was bosch, so you opt for makita,,,I've got a brand new still boxed 110v makita you can have for £20 + p&p if you want it.

but Col is old, like 98 and he started work when he was 8,,,so he's got 30 years outta each one :lol:

Bosch is my favorite for all reasons above...

Cordless Makita for me. What other power tools do you have? because that could influence your decision. i.e. you don't want to be lugging around different chargers and batteries.

 

[peteablard]

I seem to be collecting grinders at the moment. Got 2 Bosch ones that were my everyday choice but my cordless Makita gets used quite a bit now. Just got another 110v Makita as a spare as it was going cheap and also have another Makita in my garage in bits( took it apart, ordered new brushes then lost the screws to put it back together, doh!!)

I quite fancy a cordless grinder, it'll probably be a Dewalt one as that's what most of my other cordless gear is, I can hopefully use the batteries.

I'm quite sure you'd find [MENTION=32169]Bubblecraft[/MENTION] to go for a Dewalt..?

Ive had a makita 115 in white for year & half. only had to change the blade. cut 28mm white limestone without bothering it.

First Bosch I inadvertently ran over. (Don't ask)

2nd Bosch lasted 3 years before a dusty job killed it

3rd Bosch still going strong

They get an awful amount of abuse, dust, dropped etc etc.

I don't think you can go wrong with a Bosch, and they are a good price.

But I still look younger than you Doug. :sofahide:

[afright]

Love the Bosch carry 3 of them have got a ryobi but the trigger is a nightmare to use,love the Bosch 600 watt so light to use.I have changed the leads on 2 of them made then about 5 m long saves on extension lead

If you want to sell it I'd be interested for £20.
