Brilliant service and value for money.
Brilliant service from the seller and I would not hesitate to buy again from this seller. Well, what can I say about this Grinder, its a Makita what more do I need to say really? I suppose you could say it lasts years and I will say that I also have a Bosh Angle Grinder and although the Bosh is great for reliability, it does not run as smooth as these Makia’s! These Makita’s do run quieter than the Bosh, the Bosh is a little noisier. I highly recomment Makita Angle Grinders, but the Bosh is a good one too. I just prefer the Makita a bit more really. AAAA+
Makita quality tool with Liddle’s quality power switch
Good tool as far as durability and cutting is concerned but totally let down by the positioning and the operation of the power switch which is best described as needing the power of Hercules to operate. The tool has successfully cut through a variety of steel bars and bolts and after around 30 odd hours of operation shows little sign of motor wear The case is a nightmare to repack and not worth the additional cost would have been better bought without it… will it last who knows?… but if I had used one of these before with its poor switch design I would have probably bought something else..
Really pleased with this replacement for my decades-old German brand angle grinder. It is light and sits comfortably in the hand. Good quality case too, plus a couple of discs. It is a snug fit in the case but once you work out how to position it, it is fine. I use it mainly for stone cutting with diamond-tipped discs.
Not actually used this yet, bought it to cut paving slabs, but it has a good weight, and nice feel to it. Not too heavy, not too light. Considered 59 a decent price for a Makita grinder on Amazon. All my other power tools are Makita which have proved to be excellent, hence sticking with a trusted brand. Have seen a few comments about how poor the box is; I agree it’s not a best effort from Makita. However, for those having difficulty refitting the grinder in its box, (I struggled with it initially then saw how it should be done)…if you look on the inside of the lid, there’s a diagram/schematic showing how the grinder should be stowed. Have put a pic here with this review. Hope this helps someone.
Love this
Love this little angle grinder. I’ve been using it to cut slate tile and large Indian sandstone slabs. Has no issue going through either and you can easily operate with one hand. Great tool for the job. It’s very loud though so get some ear plugs to avoid ringing in your ears!
It’s a Makita so it’s not the cheapest, but it is very good. When we eventually blow the earth up through climate change, the cockroaches will rule but the Makita’s will still be running.
Buy it, forget about the price and keep using it. I brought it for cutting steel right angles from a TV aerial and cables on my roof, I didn’t want to use a hacksaw on the roof so brought this. No idea about the angle grinder but it cuts quickly and effectively with the cutter. Its not lightweight but not too heavy, reassuringly hefty.
Comes in a nice case as well. Lead is quite long.
I’m very happy with it.
Powerful, Easy to Use
I have had it for a few months and have been doing home renovation with it. No need to read the instruction as it is easy to use, great value for money, so light to hold, overall, I would strongly recommend any builder to buy this product.
Won't fit back into the box.
Like: Good quality, soft starting and good speedy grinding.
Case is a waste of time unless you want to remove discs and dust deflector every time you put it away. Would have given a 5 but for that.
Grinde
Bought this to replace my old black and decker grinder which after twenty years use finally packed up used this one twice now and great little grinder just hope it lasts as long as my old one
Highly recommended
Very powerful and light weight, highly recommended, I use mine mainly for raking out morter, only thing I have noticed is that the on/off switch sticks some times when turning off (because of dust/mortar getting behind switch)
Top job tool.
I always buy Makita tools and this angle grinder is lovely to use. Robust, easy to handle and supplied with a couple of discs it does the job every time.
The Maikita 115mm Grinde
This Grinder is epic, I use this to cut floor tiles and wall tile with ease. Best addition to my Makita Tools. The box is tricky to get the thing back in but once you have mastered that I do think it is value for money especially as it comes with a Diamond Cutting disc and Metal Cutting disc. Can’t rate this thing high enough. Was going to buy a wet table tile cutter no need now…
Only used twice (small jobs), so hoping for the best (that it will be a reliable tool for my trade). Makita have not sorted the case issue out. Therefore as other have remarked, the grinder would not go back in once taken it out. To remedy, I used the grinder to cut some of the partitions from the inside of the case and ‘voila’, it fits!
Great grinder, case a joke
Good quality as you’d expect and does the job with ease. As per many other reviews ‘it’s virtually impossible ‘ to put the grinder back in the carry case. There is absolutely nowhere to put the cable, You have to take the guard off too each time you put the grinder away. Grinder fine for the money , Case a very annoying joke.
Makita GA4530RKD. I’ve used this grinder to shapen mosonary chisels and cut through 5mm thick angle iron, both tasks it performed well. Other reviewers have criticised the on off slide-switch but I find it very easy to use – push it in towards the body of the tool and then push forward to activate, just press it to deactivate. Very easy. The case could be better as others have noted, the main problem being the cable storage. On first opening the cable is tied up neatly and stuffed into a small compartment by the cable outlet of the grinder, but it’s very difficult to get it back in there after use. A better solution is to take the cord back along the legth of the grinder and fold it into the larger compartment at the head of the grinder. With a flat disc loaded it closes easily, but with a thicker disc that has a raised locating lip it’s a bit more difficult to close because of the extra thickness. The case isn’t as good as the case on my Makita cordless drill, but at least it’s a case! The disc guard is a friction fit affair that works really well. To reposition it just grab it and turn (while the grinder is switched off!) Much easier than a clamp I think. The handle is angled forwad a bit which could limit access to tighter spaces – I’d rather have a handle at right angles to the body, but it’s not a critical factor. All in all, and for the price, which includes a diamond concrete cutting disc, grinding disc and case, IMO it’s good value.
I still have my fingers
It never ceases to amaze me how Makita manage to get their tools to fit in their carry cases before shipping them out. I’ve been entertaining myself trying for 30 minutes so far, but just can’t match Japanese getitintheboxmanship. The tool also cuts and grinds steel much better than my teeth do, so it can only be a five star review.
Great product in a great bundle
This angle grinder is very well design in terms of shape and weight distribution. Working with it is a breeze even occasionally with one hand only.
The disc that came with it cut through split face stone tiles with super ease.
Would definitely recommend
Sturdy , packaged well to store when not using
Amazing tool to add to any trademans toolkit, my husband was really impressed with the box it has to store and the extra blade was a bonus until he got round to ordering more . Really good item.by really good company !
Lightweight and easy to use
Cuts metal fairly easily and is lightweight and easy to hold. It has a useful case but it can be awkward to fit back in, especially if you have bought a few extra disks.
great little tool
Works still fine after a fair amount of use over the last two years… Obvs you will have to buy the necessary attachments but as a basic angle grinder I wouldn’t know what you would want more?
Feels solid and robus
There’s 3 things I don’t like about this grinder, 1.The angle the handle sticks out. 2. The power chord seems to thick and 3. the blow moulded case shrinks I think as soon as you remove the grinder from it. Other than that it’s great.
Lightweight and Powerful
This is a compact lightweight and powerful tool. Ideal for many tasks for serious DIYer. You will not be dissappointed. Handle only has 2 handle positions, one for left hand user other for right handed use. Other than that the handle pisition is fixed.
that it should be all there
here seemed to be something missing, it wasnt until i assembled the grinder that i noticed that there was too much play between the blade and the grinder.but i also got a set of blades delivered as well and they had collets with them which fixed the problem
Quality grinder, light weight, powerful.
Quality Makita tool. Pity about the box. I paid the extra 20 for the box and it’s the cheapest blow moulded box they could find. Grinder does work well and is comfortable in the hand.
Typical Makita quality
Bought a cheapo Ingcco angle grinder at around the same time – it stopped working after a couple of days of heavy use. One star deducted because changing blades is a bit of a pain. That’s a minor gripe, though.
Makita - What can I say!
The best quality in hand tools you can buy. No rubbish, wear and tear is to a minimal and you can tell you are using a quality product. Very happy with this purchase.
Just grea
Had a similar priced bosch which the lock ring seized. This seems great in comparison, carry case is sturdy, power cable is really robust. Comes with a fine diamond cut blade and grinding disc. Really good quality cuts 20mm sand stone slabs like butter. Seems really good value considering the brand and additional items you get. I would recommend
Excellent angle grinder.
Other grinders I’ve had were too fat to handle comfortably, this Makita is just right. Nice long cable. Quieter gearing than cheaper ones. Excellent safety switch. Box is ideal if you store it away, sell it or pass it on to family, but I usually keep it out with handle and disc attached ready for immediate use.
The professional's choice.
I already have the Makita 230mm angle grinder, but that’s a bit big and scary, and as my other cheapo 110mm grinder suddenly died, Makita was really the only choice for me. It hasn’t disappointed, it’s a fine tool with a useful carrying case. Comes with a diamond blade and a steel cutting blade, too, so you’re ready to go straight away.
Just what I needed!
I have been trying to cut bricks with a multi tool with no success, even a 20 blade made little progress.
This cuts through bricks like a hot knife through butter. The included cutting disc is brilliant.
It’s not particularly ergonomic, and I found it a little tricky to use, that may just have been me though!
This is a decent grinder, seems very good quality, and I’m sure it’ll last for ages. As many other reviewers have said, the case it really badly designed and you’re probably better off getting the version without the case. The included Makita Diamak diamond cutting disc was good, but didn’t seem any better than the generic 4 ones.
Absolutely brilliant tool. Really shocked at how much I use this in a wood workshop and also for motorbike customisation. Toyed with the 18v wireless model but decided on the wired one based on price and longevity. Glad I did as would be forever charging the batteries.
The box is good quality – though compact – the grinder has taken everything I have thrown at it so far from cutting slate, sanding wood boards and cutting motorbike frames.
Brilliant angle grinde
Brilliant angle grinder, quick to setup and change discs, doesn’t run hot at all, is fairly weighty, and absolutely lethal in the wrong hands. The case is the only downside, unintuitive layout means putting it back in gets a touch confusing. Unlike one of the other reviewers I didn’t get a plan of the layout inside mine. no biggy as tend to leave tools out anyway.
Will start by saying please follow the strict safety guidelines when using this! It still scares me now it has the potential to cause very serious harm if not used with the correct safety equipment! If you use this unsafe you’ll end up like the people on angle grinder accidents google images search trust me! Otherwise such a handy tool to own.
I’ve never owned a grinder before so can’t really compare it to anything else. I bought this grinder because I’m landscaping my back garden and needed to cut several stone flags. I was worried at first it wouldn’t be up to the job but my worries soon disappeared once I started using it.
I also thought the blade wouldn’t be great but it lasted much longer than I thought it would.
im very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.
Super grinder, more than powerful enough for all aspects of car body/chassis work. Paid the extra and bought it with the carry case, wish I hadn’t the box is badly designed and no thought gone into where the actual flex should be coiled and stored, designed badly, get yourself a different storage case!
Been a joiner for 35 years and have tried and burnt out a lot of cheap angle grinders. I should have bought makita as all my other tools are. Great bit of kit and does not struggle or over heat like cheaper buys.
Recived this weekend and rapidly put into use removing a rusted centre pole from a garden planter and cutting some rusty brackets away from fence worked really well as expected for Makita.
In my view this is a tool for the handyman / hobby person and as such represents great value for money, the case is a nice bonus but wouldn’t stand up to much abuse.
