5.0 out of 5 stars 5" MAKITA GRINDER, May 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Makita 9005B 5-Inch Angle Grinder (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a professional steel fabricator with 20 - 35 employees that use and abuse these grinders daily. I have been buying or specifying the tool purchases for my company for 17 years. Of all the small grinders we own, the Makita 5" grinder is by far the best performing and durable tool of its type and size. Second best is a distant second.

I have a half dozen grinders with different wheels on each so I can quickly grab what I need. This is by far the best of the bunch.I

f there is alot of one type of work to do I'll take the time to put the wheel on this one. A big plus is that it takes the much cheaper and readily available 4 1/2" accessories.

I'm a sculptor, working mainly in steel. I have used, (and abused), these grinders for about 15 years. The power to weight ratio is excellent, and so far, each has lasted 3-4 years of work. I highly recommend this grinder.
