I absolutely love my corded angle grinder from Metabo. Made in Germany... Its very old though, and still runs like a dream. I'll be getting the battery version soon.
How does one use a spin on grinding wheel on the newer wepba version grinders with the thicker auto balancing disc ? When installed the grinding wheel is almost protruding outside of the guard.
Nice but reserving the brake for the “professional series” doesn’t make any sense. I can understand prioritizing productivity features, but safety should be standard across all models. That being said, I’ll probably be ordering myself an 11amp Metabo 11-125 Quick Grinder based on that quality of the components seen in online tool tear-downs in comparison to other brands and the fact that it isn’t made in China.
The 2 second stop doesnt do anything more useful then allowing you to put down your grinder quicker. Because Δx=v0t+0.5at^2 means that after a drop distance of 19.6m or 64ft the grinder should have stopped. (if the blade wasnt impacted or hit by anything hard) And it doesnt matter what it is, having something dropped on you from that height with that weight is a serious issue!
first last Which model did you buy? The one on Amazon that sells for $173 says Made in Germany. But that might have changed recently. www.amazon.com/Metabo-WEV15-125-Grinder-Electronics-Torque/dp/B00WJOX9EY/ref=pd_sim_469_5/133-1388040-2452138?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00WJOX9EY&pd_rd_r=ccad8bc1-93e6-40cd-868c-669df293c7bf&pd_rd_w=dcHqn&pd_rd_wg=DpU1z&pf_rd_p=3c412f72-0ba4-4e48-ac1a-8867997981bd&pf_rd_r=08VT2D33ZCEVQ31KQWZ2&psc=1&refRID=08VT2D33ZCEVQ31KQWZ2#
Sorry but metabo grinders suck, I have used them for years due to my only wanting to buy metabo tools. I use grinders for many hours a day and they just don't last. I finally persuaded them to buy me a milwaukee angle grinder, still going strong after 2 years. I got roughly 5-6 months out of a metabo
If u burn up a metabo grinder u have a low end version or u shouldn't be allowed to use grinders I have a 230 metabo thats 12 years old Still works 10 year old 125 And i recently got a verifiable speed one And a Hitachi thats from 1994 which is still kicking That get used daily For long hours So im questioning how u treat them and how expensive they were cuz its probably something ur doing and not the tool
@@STOkitten it's nothing to do with how I treat them, they are tools that get used heavily at my work. We have at least 10 metabo grinders at the back of the fab shop all burnt out. I'm not the only one that uses them, I work with 3 other people. I have been a fabricator for the passed 10 years, do not tell me what I shouldn't be allowed to use. I'm sorry if you're offended of me saying that metabo grinders suck, jeez people are literally offended by everything these days. Sad world.
Metabo's SUCK i burnt up 4 in 8 months Had a DeWalt/ Milwaukee for years and they still kick it. A good grinder can handle pressure applied into it while grinding. Metabo's cant they smell like burning plastic when you do.
If you have to lean into it that much then you need to learn how to grind, or use the right grinding disc for the job. Unless you bought a metabo from lowes.
Grinders seem to be the tool where people love one or two brands and hate others. I know other people who've done very well with Metabo and had bad failures from your favourites. I'm looking for variable speed 115mm or 125mm grinder with soft start and a brake. To complement my 8 year old single speed Bosch. Corded, though I have 2 old M18 4AHr Milwaukee batteries so I'd consider bare Milwaukee. Reviews proving very inconsistent! The Bosch will do heavier work, eg pointing. New one will be for in situ tiles and one-handed work
Just worked out why we get polarised conflicting opinions on grinders. It is not Metabo vs Makita vs Milwaukee vs Bosch vs DeWalt. Each brand has 5+ variants for each disk size and corded (240V, 110V) or cordless. Variant A might be very lightweight, low power (eg 500 Watts), perhaps budget. Variant F might be 1900 Watts, heavy. Use A for light work domestic diy thin tiles, 8mm bolts, wood saw, sharpen mower blade. Use F for all day pointing, paving slabs, etc. Of course, Brand X vA will burn out doing pointing while Brand Y vF thrives on pointing for 5 years. But Brand Y vF is heavy, clumsy, overpriced for occasional delicate work. I usually look first at 1-star reviews, but often, the reviewer has not used the product for its range of uses. Oth, 5-star reviews often given after one day's use. What I do know is DeWalt corded tool quality and service in UK has plummeted over last 5 years compared with ten+ years ago. Everyone and my experience shows they just focus on cordless now. Makita have kept up standards and even upgraded old models
They propably know more than many other companies. Many of their tools have very good brushless motors, but they obviously have slighly cheaper brushed versions.

They are the best no question
I love Metabo grinders and also Milwaukee
Really? I like makita under metabo
@@The40Glock1Makita makes great tools, but I think Metabo makes the absolute best angle grinders, corded or not. Also made in Germany...
I love metabo grinder they run smoother than the rest
Better than the makita concrete grinder?
Try Fein 🤣
Very nice Metabo grider but i hope they have variable speed for varius application.
They have a model with Variable speed I believe the models start with WEV
e.g. WEV 17-125
Just bought a Metabo - 4.5" Angle Grinder - 11, 000 Rpm - 10.5 Amp W/Non-Lock Paddle (600410420 12-115 Quick)
How does one use a spin on grinding wheel on the newer wepba version grinders with the thicker auto balancing disc ? When installed the grinding wheel is almost protruding outside of the guard.
Ok ill buy Metabo 🙏
I've normally stuck with Bosch, had a Dewalt 402 angle grinder, wasn't impressed, going to try a Metabo W750,
White finger is a big issue for me these days and I am a home user. 5 or 10 min on a grinder is it for me for several hours.
These are all little things. x-lock is a true revolution.
Please make it left handed. Power switch killing me.
Make it on the top like it was before. Thanks.
WEV 11, for one, lets you loosen, swivel, reset the body for left handers. It's inbthe data sheet. Shame he didn't mention it
These are solid wife excuses

My G18ST didn't come with an anti-vibration handle? Guess I got ripped off.
g18st is made by metabo hpt, wich is hitachi. this is german metabo.
They sold this product

this is however not a math assignment at school.
biased review, sales pitch....OK
Makes no pretense to be review. He's a vendor explaining the range
Why does my metabo say made in China?
Because Metabo was acquired by Hitachi Koki, part of Hitachi Group. They have to pay for the acquisition somehow. I could be wrong - I often am.
The lower end units are rebadged Hitachi. The good ones are about $300. Hard to compete. in mainstream sales.

Is it metabo or metabo hpt? Metabo hpt is hitachi, wich are made in china.
Because theyre junk

U can kill any grinder if u do that 😐
Also Milwaukee grinders are shit compared to the metabo for the same price
@@WilliamHelstad corded id say metabo and Bosch
Cordless Milwaukee
