Great little grinder, just don't buy from CPO Makita July 18, 2009

This paddle switch grinder is a step up from the cheap ones you will find at places like Home Depot. It has enough power and is easy to use. Our company goes through a lot of grinders, as we work on concrete only where they take a beating and suffer under the conditions. This grinder is better than most, while affordably priced. The metal case is cool, too.
On a side note, DO NOT buy any equipment here from "CPO Makita", as they are nothing but a bunch of crooked re-sellers pushing defective equipment that they refuse to return or replace. Buyer beware - they stole from me with no remorse whatsoever, and they managed to keep my feedback off the web page, thus this oddly placed warning! Please be careful. I've never had a problem with items purchased directly from Amazon!
Great for the price June 28, 2009
J. wessendorf (Laurinburg, NC USA)
For the price of a home-use, store-brand grinder I got this Makita instead, and am very pleased with it. It's what you expect from Makita, but at a discount price. I'm going to get much more use out of it than I paid for, that's for sure.
 Excellent grinder for the price. May 7, 2009

I have only used this tool on one job so far. As an industrial metal worker I've been exposed to many different brands of grinders. This preformed better than expected. I wanted a good quality grinder for home use. It wont get used very often, so I couldn't justify spending $200 on the top model grinder. The paddle switch is a nice safety feature.
So far I am extremely happy with this purchase. Only time will tell, but I expect it to last for years.
 Excellent grinder after repair January 31, 2009

The grinder side handle would not fit into either side. I had to use a tap to clean out the threads before the handles would fit. The semi-circular protector over the wheel had to be bent with a pair of pliers to be installed. It will not hold a metal cutting wheel without getting a spacer to put on the shaft. The nut will not tighten far enough to hold it. The switch is very good, good safety feature. It has plenty of power and light weight feel.
 Mine died after 30 minutes use November 5, 2008

Amazon shipped quickly. The grinder is a comfortable size and weight. The paddle switch is easy to use and is a nice safety feature. I've used it now for 2 jobs but it suddenly died on the 2nd job - after no more than 30 minutes total combined use. I used it when it arrived to cut cabinet openings into Hardieboard (concrete board), a 20 minute job. I used it again two weeks later to cut three 18 in square concrete pavers in half. After 5-10 minutes use, it just stopped working while I cutting the 3rd paver. I now have to send it to a factory service center and I hope they replace it with a new one without a hassle.

I had this repaired under warranty. I was told by the factory-approved service ctr that the problem was a broken wire. No further problems since it's been serviced.
