Makita DGA517Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless 125mm Angle Grinder - Batteries and Charger Not Included

great tool and good value for money

Another great tool by makita! Easier to grip than my old one . Trigger switch makes for better safety as the machine will turn off automatically if you let go of it. Brushless motor is always a plus. Best angle grinder I have had so far. A bit pricey but compared to the cheaper models it is worth the extra money....you get what you pay for in this case!....let's see how long it lasts. My old grinder ( the first makita battery powered model) lasted about 7 or 8 years of heavy use.

Just what I have come to expect from Makita. Well designed and built. I have not used it a lot yet but so far I am very pleased with it.

Another lovely Makita 18v tool. I was very torn before I bought this. I'd only ever used angle grinders with the traditional flip on/off switch, so I really wasn't sure whether to go for that, or this the paddle switch. 2 years on I'm glad I chose the paddle switch version. Yes, there are occasions where I would have preferred the old type, but many more occasions when I'm so glad I have the immediate response of the paddle in my hand. It does take a little getting used to, but once you are, it just feels so much more natural. Because of the job they do, angle grinders tend to be very power hungry, so I only use this with a 5Ah battery. (A 4Ah is fine, but to really useful, I wouldn't go lower than that.) Even then, even with a brushless motor, you rarely get more than 20 minutes hard work, so best to always have a spare ready. As I said, I've now owned this for 2 years, and although it doesn't get used all the time, it is used often, and it's never let me down. Changing discs is standard as you'd expect. Undo the retaining nut with a spanner and swap out. The guard is good and solid and very easy to adjust, just flip the lever and spin the guard to the required position. Makita corded angle grinders have a reputation as being amongst the most reliable, and this battery version is no different. It's a beautifully made tool. Highly recommended. I hope you found this review helpful.

A high-quality product.

Useful for little jobs and quick to get going especially as you don't have to worry about a power supply

Great grinder powerful does what it should as you would expect from makita a little pricey but it's worth it if you have your own batteries 🔋

great little disc cutter, getting used to the new switch but safer than a constant on mode, as cuts out soon as you release it.

Super

The tool is exactly what I wanted and expected

Works like a charm, and there's sooo many things that are so much easier to do now. I wish I had replaced my single-speed cabled angle grinder a long time ago. I like the 2-stage paddle switch - nothing worse than a grinder running wild with the switch firmly locked in the "on" position - not going to happen here.

Excelente, tem muita força para os cortes e desbastes, também sentece muito pouca vibração na mãos

Un peu lourde mais pas mal
