Most helpful customer reviews11 of 12 people found the following review helpful.Sparks will flyBy A CustomerThis would probably be a perfect tool for the hobbyist or weekend entusiast. With professional use you can expect it to last half as long as tools which cost twice as much, which seems fair. Its light weight will be appreciated when doing grinding in awkward or overhead areas. I rated it three stars because of the funny spindle size; in my area everyone stocks 5/8-11 and other sizes are hard to find. Don't expect greatness, but Makita is still a reputable company.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.Died after less than 20 hours ...By A CustomerI really can't recommend this product. I had hoped that something that said "Makita" on it would be a quality product, but they must have gone downhill since my dad used them (admittedly, this was at least 20-25 years ago.) My primary use for this was/is as a masonry grinder, grinding out old grout and/or cement for re-pointing. The location of the air intake at the front of the machine guarantees that it will suck in a *lot* of dust, and this ultimately led to the demise of the grinder. For metal grinding it might be okay, but not for anything of a silicaceous nature. It was absolutely burned out. I bought a DeWalt today ... Hopefully it will last longer ...0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Premature deathBy general remodelerThis was a great angle grinder until it died prematuraly - after less than 10 hours of use. An autopsy showed that three of the copper pads on the armature were completely gone causing the brushes to wear and burn out. Think I'll try a different brand next time.See all 4 customer reviews...
