Sparks will fly Nov 15, 2002
This 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.

Died after less than 20 hours ... Aug 10, 2003
I 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 ...

Premature death Aug 06, 2006 By general remodeler "flip-it man"
This 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.

Great tool for smaller hands Aug 18, 2003
I really like this grinder. I am a professional tilesetter, and it has always worked great for me. It is lighter and smaller in circumference than the Dewalt, and the locking "on" switch saves my hand from getting tired. I have found it is very durable, too. The only thing I do not care for is that you have to manually remove the blades; it has no quick change system. I suppose that's my fault for not spending the bucks for that feature, though.
