Review: German quality, variable speed, lots of power, easy disk changes - I have a Makita battery powered angle grinder and it’s OK for light work but I wanted a beast of an angle grinder. That required an AC/corded model. I like the power of this grinder already, it’s a bull dog. It has an industrial look and feels solid in my hands even if it is a bit heavy. I’m a big guy, an extra pound of weight means better quality to me. I looked at every model online, in person and read online ratings for over a week. I don’t own any Metabo so I decided to give this Metabo model a try. I like the 5 inch disk size, gives more cutting versatility. The Metabo is heavy duty, has a lot of power, simple disk changes with a spammer, an arbor lock to assist disk changes, dial variable speed and a locking switch, not a paddle trigger. I avoided the grinders with the patented quick change technology that requires use of OEM disks at high prices. I have a paddle trigger on another tool and with the safety lever it’s annoying. Plain locking switch for me. I bought this particular Metabo from desertcart Sales (formerly desertcart Warehouse). The box was beat up and the grinder had a few light blemishes but it saved me $45 over new plus some desertcart points and I got this grinder for about $120 all in - perfect. I grind a lot of stainless steel, rusted bolts and nuts and rod stock using cutoff wheels, including diamond and vitrified disks. Also in the mix are cup and flat knot wire wheels for clean up and prep work. I clean my gas grill grates with a knotted cup wheel and it works great! Battery grinders just tap out too easily and I wanted a tool not made in China. Metabo is German, the gears are high speed steel and this grinder is heavy but it’s built like a tank. Lots of work coming up for a full audition!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a blade?  If so, what type?**
A: It doesn't use "blades" it uses grinding wheels, cut-off discs, flap discs, etc. and they are a consumable item. I assume you've never used a grinder. Also, this is a professional tool. Professional tools don't typically include consumables. If you want a cheap tool that includes a handful of cheap consumables in some gimmicky oversized blow-molded case, go down to your local hardware store. If you buy grinding wheels and zip discs in bulk and need a tool that'll run every day all day without burning up, this is the tool for you.

**Q: Is this the tool-less blade change ?**
A: Yes

**Q: Are these made in germany?   i know metabo also has a factory in china, which is why i am asking.  i won't buy it if is now made in china.**
A: This one is made in Germany. The ones made in China have no "red"on them and are completely green. Ypu will really enjoy this one. It's the toughest grinder available. It puts Dewalt and Milwaukee to shame.

**Q: Is it ac/dc?**
A: Suitable for AC/DC operation.
This is 120 AC grinder
