Pure power
I purchased this Bosch grinder through Amazon.com to tuck point brick work. Received the tool in one week with free shipping. The paddle switch is a safe feature. When you release the paddle it stops. I found it to be very powerfull and it has absolutely no hesitation. Pure power!
I installed a dry diamond blade for cutting brick - cut like butter with a hot knife. Installed a 4 1/2" diamond tuck point wheel and removed a mortar joint 35" wide in seconds. Highly recommend this tool if your looking for a good grinder. Well worth the money for the safety & power it delivers.

Bosch-Build to Last
This is extremely well-designed, well-built, and heavy duty. No complaints here. Don't hesitate--buy this tool you'll be glad to did.

Heavy Duty Grinder for the Metal shop
I own two other 4 1/2 inch grinders besides this one. My Made in China $24 grinder that I was using with a cupped wire brush finally bit the dust. I went looking for Quality this time around and wanted to purchase Made in USA. But this Bosch won out, over a Dewalt, because it was the only one that was a "true" all ball / needle bearing construction. It has lots of power and the paddle switch saved my bacon when on a trial run using a metal cutting disk, the disk caught and shattered (I AWAYS wear safety glasses and gloves when grinding). On my other grinders with a thumb switch... that 1/2 second to find the switch & flip it off... would have been too long. Draw backs, the grinder seems to have more vibration and noise than my 8 year old, Made in Japan Ryobi, not to be confused with the new Ryobi, Made in China! Bill G.

Good Little Grinder
Kinda hard to get worked up about an angle grinder--their loud, dirty and smelly. Based on my success with other Bosch tools I purchased this one. It works very well. Appears durable, has a quality metal shield, simple wheel changes, easy on/off and lock switch. I like it. Probably couldn't go wrong with Yellow, Gray, Red or Green versions, however.

Tough and Versatile
This is a fine quality tool, it works flawlessly. I originally bought this tool to cut ceramic tile (which worked great), but I found so many other uses for it such as grinding fiberglass on my brother's boat, cut out steel window frames, and to remove glue and wood residue on concrete before screwing in a subfloor. The grinder is small enough to fit in most tight places and light enough to hold over head for long periods of time. This is one of my most heavily used power tools and it's still going strong! I have to say Bosch makes the best tools that last forever. ... Read more

oldfangled, simple, rugged little champ
Used one for grinding and wirebrush several times daily for years at tool fab shop, as did four other workers. These grinders ran smoothly and never overheated or broke. The barrel is a bit fat but still comfortable. I've noticed that some costlier, newer models from some makers use cheaper PLASTIC retaining plates for the outer spindle bearing. This seems like planned obsolescence, and partly negates the durability advantage of a metal gearcase.

Ultra smooth running - a joy to use
I've used one of these for about ten years now, with almost daily use. It is still the smoothest running angle grinder/sander I have ever used, which is appreciated when doing fine work and holding it running for hours on end. It is also more quiet than most grinders (I've used almost all of them). It has adequate power considering the weight of the machine. The only downside is that the electrical cord wires would break near the housing, but it was easy to replace with a higher rated cord. Maybe Bosch solved this by now. When it does wear out, I will definately buy another one.

Best grinder I've used
I've been using my grinder for about two years now...it's outlasted a DeWalt grinder which I burned the motor out on and a Milwaukee grinder whose case broke when dropped. My bosch has been dropped, carried by the cord and used to cut steel in a pinch and keeps on running. I've never had any problems with the switch either. Now I have two Bosch grinders...one for grinding and one for finish sanding.

Too Bulky
The motor housing/handle of this grinder is too big to be comfortable. Holding it for hours gets old! The switch was constantly clogging up. I used it for stone carving, which is dusty however other grinders have held up fine. ... Read more

Mi mejor compra en herramientas eléctricas
Compré este modelo después de tirar a la basura una pulidora china de características similares (una vil copia)... la he trabajado durante horas y me canso de trabajarla pero no se calienta ni la caja de engranes ni el cuerpo de la pulidora, tiene un nivel aceptable de ruido y un peso muy ligero para cualquier tipo de trabajo... es el tipo de herramienta que cualquier aficionado o profesional quisieramos tener...

Bosch 4 1/2 inch angle grinder
Just spent the afternoon grinding rust off the truck. Using the Bosch angle grinder made the job a joy. Light, compact, powerful. Easy to use in all positions and in hard to reach areas. From now on my 2 Milwaukee body grinders will go on sale. They are too clumsy and heavy AND DANGEROUS. With the Bosch sparks are controlled by a shield. Just the right size to grab by the body one-handed or by using the extra handle 2 hands can be used. I heard about German engineering but this is the first time that I enjoyed it. A GREAT TOOL.

Mine died after less than a year (fault switch)
I thought Bosch made quality stuff but this one did not hold up. Used it for welding prep. ... Read more

Nice design

A MUST FO METAL WORK !
I have used my BOSH Sander/Grinder for many years. I have not found any others to be as relibile as this one. It is very simple to use, and it gets the job done. The two features I like the best are a positive locking button on the top side of the grinder wich allowes you to change discs easly, and the trigger that locks in place with one hand. I use my grinder for many diffrent projects including preping metal for welding, Sanding paint off before doing auto body, and I put a wire brush on it for cleaning rust off metal surfaces. ...
