Metabo - WEV15-125 - 5" Variable Speed Angle Grinder - 2, 800-11, 000 Rpm - 13.5 Amp W/Electronics, Lock-On (600468420 15-125 Quick), Professional Angle Grinders

This variable speed grinder works great. I needed a grinder with a variable speed option and this worked exactly as I had hoped for. Feels nice and solid in the hand. The only complaint I have and this has nothing to do with the grinder just the company I bought this from. They did not package the grinder very well at all. No cushion, no foam. The box was all torn and ripped the grinder had a little scuff from being jostled around during transport. I was going to return it out of principal as I anticipated issues with the grinder performance, but (cross my fingers) the grinder worked great, so I guess this grinder can take a beating and still work as it should. I'm hoping this grinder will last my lifetime.

Wow, what a great grinder. I needed a variable speed angle grinder for some tile work. I already have a DeWalt, but it wasn't variable speed and it was a pain in the ass to change the blade or move the guard. So I did a whole lot of research and came upon this Metabo grinder. Mateo is new to me, but has been around a long time. Two key features, in addition to the variable speed, sold me. 1) toolless disc changes and 2) toolless guard adjustments. I know this is expensive, but it is worth it. And the power......super good!

A lot of RPM to grinder the most complicated zones

German made grinders are the best. Received it quickly. The packaging on the factory box wasn’t designed for shipping though. Disintegrated box resulted in questionable marks on grinder. There weren’t any problems at all returning it for a refund.

This is a HEAVY grinder for a 5". That said, there is NO comparison. The power and durability are unparalleled.This is NOT comparable to anything you can buy at Home Depot.Back in early 2002 I bought a DeWalt 4.5" grinder. I broke it later that week and replaced it w/ a Milwaukee 4.5" (Milwaukee tools are fantastic by the way) and broke that same day. My tool mechanic said it wasn't the tool's fault, I was simply grinding too hard on them for such a small grinder. He sold me a Metabo 5", quick nut, variable speed w/ an automatic clutch. He said it couldn't be killed.15 years later, I still use it professionally 5 days a week. I just bought this one because I'm finally tired of changing back and forth between cutting and grinding wheels. The old one is now my cutter and this one is my grinder.

Should of bought this years ago. if you know of anyone who has one borrow it for 2 minutes and try it out. You’ll realize that investing in a good grinder is a no brainer. Well if you grind a lot that is

This is an extremely competent tool: it runs for hours without overheating, it never bogs down, and it feels like marvel in my hands.

I loved this grinder and based on reviews thought it would last for ages. Not so much. It completely died yesterday after little more than a year of intermittent use. not cool....
