Hello Babush, thanks for your comment. Why do you think all of our products are Made in China? Yes, we have an own production factory in Shanghai (China) but most of our products are still produced in our headquarter in Nürtingen (Germany). Did you already work with our power tools? Best regards from Germany Oliver (Team Metabo)
@@thepreserver83 nice explain and useful info especially for beginner in power tools like me who are looking for a grinder machine which comes with safety and good quality. Of course i know i should prepare my safety first before using any tools
@@thepreserver83 Plastic could be a more supreme material depending on the application. For example, plastic is a better material choice for a game controller shell; you don't want it to weigh 10 lbs. The same goes for power tools; you do not wish to carry a 20 lbs dead weight all day for 30 years, yourself put it. Can Metabo do better? Of course. Does Metabo practice plan obsolescence? Yes, it does highly likely. However, is Metabo complete trash? I don't think so, relatively speaking.
@@thepreserver83 Unfortunately, things are not always going our way; sometimes, it could be unpleasant. Companies are driven by profit. It is neither about the longevity of products, quality, nor safety; those are often merely marketing. A better question would be how much they deliver their promises compared to the others.
@@thepreserver83 Actually many of your tools are commonly seen in everyday industrial usage and heavy duty applications. Have a look at our latest 2000W angle grinders. www.metabo.com/com/en/tools/cutting-sanding-milling/angle-grinder/angle-grinders-o100-150-mm/?0=&order=dateadded+DESC We know professional shipyard companies that are craving after these tools from us. I would not say Metabo is only for home usage. Anyways, I am still sorry for your experience that time. This should not be a usual case and for that we have our service repair centers. Best regards, Mike (Team Metabo)
@@metabo You have not shown one single facts/proof to counter me, but only fake advertising words. I dont care about your "sorry", nor you sorry about anything. Im sure about that because you dont care that the company which you work for - is worse than your narcissist character, which try to convince people that metabo is good even if they make low quality machines with plastic gears. Where the fuck you have seen an industrial machine which is made with plastic motor, or plastic gears??? Only in China they started to make plastic gears 10-15 years ago, then your metabo adopted such garbage. Show me your proof where metabo is good, and will show you 100 more where metabo machines are garbage.
how do i identify a metabo angle grinder w S-clutch that doesnt have the red square??? i heard that all grinders w the quick change feature have the S-clutch,is this true???
I am looking for a cordless angle grinder for horses hooves so it needs to be a flat surface, lightweight and safe. Can you advise which one to buy in the UK? I have left messages on the UK Metabo site but don't seem to get any response. Please advise?
The grinder I have came with two guards incase you break one I guess. I put both of them on just to be safe. Now I can't cut because the wheel is completely incased, but no one is safer than me!
I would like to get permission to use this video to demonstrate my training platform. It would have this video, a couple of scenarios and then a quiz. I think it would be good advertising for Metabo as well... Thoughts?
Hello Binh, we don’t have a kick-back technology rather than a mechanical safety clutch in our tools. The tools including the safety clutch can be recognized by the safety clutch icon in the description at our homepage. www.metabo.com/com/en/info/competence/competence/advantages-of-metabo-machines/ Best regards Oliver (Team Metabo)
Heaps of good knowledge and tools in this one but I don't think I've ever watched a safety video with so much disregard for common sense... He literally said a "hammer or wrench is a power tool". I have used a grinder most days of my working life and I have NEVER put a 'type 1 guard' on a grinder for any reason and I absolutely would fire myself if I was wasting time switching guards to make a cut, ridiculous. Really this video is a bit of a throwback, I remember 10 yrs ago when industrial sites would collect your phones or demand you leave them in a locker room before a shift, I really don't think that was about safety though. These days in construction every one is always wasting time on their phones. Every spotter does no spotting, drivers, operators, traffic controllers staring into a screen; half the guys I work with are scrolling instagram or checking their texts while I'm working right there, we need phones these days but we need an attitude adjustment even more. That attitude adjustment doesn't include safety stalinism that leaves no room for common sense or improv. Seriously, if safety was really first then none of us would ever leave the house and go to work in the first place - The job is obviously first we should strive to do it in a safe way but those rules sometimes have got to bend to get the job done.
Dear Elliot, I get your point, I think our colleague broke it down to these oversimplified basics like the hammer comparison for better and fast understanding without complexity since this is a very long instruction video. Anyways, thank you very much for your feedback , we take anything into consideration and thank you for your trust in Metabo as well. Be sure to check our 6 safety features of our current angle grinder range at the bottom of this page: www.metabo.com/com/en/tools/cordless-tools/cutting-grinding-metal-processing/cordless-angle-grinders/ Thank you and have a great and productive rest of the day! Best regards, Mike (Team Metabo)
Hmm, gloves? My rule of thumb is: anything with a spindle takes no gloves. Rather sacrifice a small piece of flesh than have the grinder grab onto a tough leather glove and wrap your entire arm around its spindle. Also, a kickback isn't just a disk binding in a kerf for arbitrary reasons. It's when the cutting force pulls or pushes the tool deeper into the cut, starting a vicious cycle that results in the tool "kicking". Trying to cut with the part of the disk that's opposite the motor yet slightly "above" (with sparks flying "down") is such a situation.
For cutting metal with a cut-off wheel I had sparks flying on my hands. That was painful. Then I put on gloves and I was much more comfortable and I could focus more on making an accurate cuts as well as alertness on safety, like being prepared for kickback.
@@RideRedRacer I sure had the guard on, I can't remember really how I was cutting, I believe it happened on the hand that was holding the grinder itself not the handle.
hello im have one old métabo angle grinder 120mm buy in1980 at 1990 don't no but no ref nofing to old !! it"s good very good qualite im intresting refeents model for buy nex carbon contacte
Lots of good info, however; 1) The analogy at the beginning should have been edited out. 2) Those gloves aren't doing much. 3) A hammer is a hand tool, because it's not powered. 4) We don't know your pronouns.
Great video, lots of good information. Should be required viewing for anyone using an angle grinder for the first time.
I agree. I just sent this to my nephew. He is taking shop last in high school.
Excellent video - I've just ordered a 5 inch Metabo because of this video showing the mechanical s-automatic safety clutch.
Ok sir
😂
absolutely the best presentation i have seen, thanks for all the info.
Good. Explanation.
14:38 somebody is going to think im losing my mind if im holding the grinder on for a minute in the air
Great DVD!!!! it should be included w every metabo grinder sold new!!! and should be FREE where every metabo grinders are sold !!
Well done! Worthwhile video.

1:12 Man, that's one dangerous and hazardous clothes hanger.

Everything is well said, I have made some nasty mistakes using tools
Mantap mr...i like
The grinder I have came with two guards incase you break one I guess. I put both of them on just to be safe. Now I can't cut because the wheel is completely incased, but no one is safer than me!
You made me worry. So my Bosch super grinder with kick-back control will not stop?
I think turning off the "mobile device" is bad advice, because in case of an accident or injury you should be able to call for help quickly.
Just set it to silent.
I would like to get permission to use this video to demonstrate my training platform. It would have this video, a couple of scenarios and then a quiz. I think it would be good advertising for Metabo as well... Thoughts?
These are all little things. x-lock is a true revolution.

@@SE45CX but shouldnt the guard stop the sparks from hitting you
@@RideRedRacer I sure had the guard on, I can't remember really how I was cutting, I believe it happened on the hand that was holding the grinder itself not the handle.
a hammer and a wrench is not a power tool, reachin pretty hard there
like if your here from a welding class in college/trade school.
