image.jpegGet one of these, super grinder if I say so myself 😉
 
I'm after a cordless one I have a festool plug in one I've just bought
Hilti for me first choice, but a very close second would be the Metabo cordless grinder the new slimline version, they make excellent grinders. A lot better than the Dewalt (yuk) or Makita grinders, which can't stick the pace. The other thing to consider are the warranties. Metabo 3 years on tool and battery. Hilti 2 years , but a lifetime fixed repair cost. A Hilti is twice the price but lasts much longer than twice the time and easily outperforms its competitors. I suppose if your a soft user then you don't need a Hilti, however if you ask a lot from your tool then it's a no brainer.
 
As I've just bought the circular saw with 2 5.2 ah batteries I'm probably gonna buy the bare unit grinder and box and share the batteries and charger
 
They are the dog of hand held floor grinders there a mint condition one on ebay for 800 smackeroos bit to much for me to spend right now and to be fair I don't need one either but want and need are different things haha
 
What 700mm model would you suggest Lee? Can you change handles to push score on all of them?
Go for a 3C3M its a push handle model with maximum breaking strength and you can also get a pull handle, part no: 24AE, that you can quickly and easily change to if your are doing lots of quick cuts on a normal tile.
