GA9020S/2 240V 230mm Angle Grinder

I had to buy one quick as the one I had previously died after a lot of work and abuse. I was impressed with the quality. I've used it for a couple of years and it's going well and had a lot of use. Would buy again when I kill this one

Well up to spec……..put a good quality diamond disc in it……..cuts through slate and slabs like butter…….. very powerful….bit on the heavy side when used for extended periods…….essential to use the side handle……if only for balance…..recommend

Bought this to replace one from a German chain which burned out. Little bit heavier than old . But would expect that with a better brand. So far I'm happy with it .👍

This is a serious piece of kit. It's heavy, built like a tank and highly effective. With a diamond blade attached it sliced through a 100mm square 50 year old reinforced concrete fence post with absolute ease. The weight requires effort but adds inertia and probably helps with stability reducing the possibility of kick-back. The slow start feature is good too. Comes as a bare unit with just the box, guard and spanner. Instructions are basic but adequate. Assembly was easy enough once I'd worked out which model I have and stopped looking for a lever on the guard which apparently the other models have but mine doesn't. It certainly does the job.

A beast of 9 inch grinder, it is heavy and will glide through concrete. It’s a powerful grinder and using it for cutting concrete blocks and chasing concrete, has the power for that when paired with a good diamond blade. Negatives on the unit, it’s heavy, wouldn’t want to use for long period of time. It doesn’t cut straight though 4 inch blocks which is a pity, so will need additional cuts. Due to design of power button location you tend to cut at an angle when straight down, it’s an odd power button location as causes your left hand to twist to press when cutting down. The photos of the item show it with a vacuum shroud, the it didn’t come with this vacuum, no outlet shoot. It’s a bare unit, no blade. Given the price and power I find it helpful with the job I’m doing. A good halfway between my 115mm and 305mm grinder/consaw for block work.

I am building a new path at the front of my house and needed something to cut the block pavers with. I could have hired a block splitter but that only cuts in one direction. My path has an S bend in the middle and I have just spent the day cutting blocks to fit the corners. I am really happy with this cutter, it is quite heavy when first picked up but I have found that this aids control when cutting. This cutter will cut a 50x160 block in about 20 seconds and I have found that I can shave as little as 2mm with ease. I have come to expect quality from Makita and this grinder is no exception. I am more than happy to recommend it as a cracking bit of kit.

Great bit of kit you can’t go wrong with this

Amazing grinder haven't use it much just a bit but defenetely for big projects? Plenty power , a bit heavy but is ok after a little while , don't know what to say but worthy getting one ...
