Bosch Professional 12V System GWS 12V-76 cordless angle grinder (three cutting discs, disc diameter: 76 mm, without battery/charger)

I was pleasently surprised that this has a "dead man switch" (turns off if the hand is removed from the switch) although if pushed all the way up and in that switch can lock in place which would not be considered a dead man switch. So it's both, depending on how you use it. Very nice. Also surprisingly quiet. (Still makes a fair bit of noise on the material of course). Cuts very well but also very limited in depth. Very very thin cut, same as my Bosch rotary "Dremel" tool blades. This is not a tool for careless beginners. Please learn how to use this safely before using it. For one, a proper full face shield is a must in my opinion. But that's not a complete guide.

This item wasn't cheap, then you have to add in the cost of batteries and charger, but what a brilliant tool. I had to cut into my car's exhaust pipe as someone had welded the exhaust together. I used a grindstone to grind away the spotwelds and then cut the pipe horizontally to split the pipe using a cutting disc. It went through very easily as the grinder is very powerful. The grinder fitted into a tight space very easily. It may sound silly, but I love this amazing tool.

Had it a couple of days and already paid for itself. Fitting door furniture and having to cut short handle bars. It cuts them with ease. It's also been useful for nipping off nails and screws coming through studs. I can see loads of uses for it. Probably handy for tiling too although I may buy a second one for that. It's small blade diameter and big guard do limit its maneuverability. I have thought about removing the guard, but it isn't as simple as it is in larger grinders. Bargin at the price I paid. Would highly recommend it to anyone. All the bosch 12v is superb.

First of all, don’t expect to receive a massive tool. This is a really tiny, almost pocket size grinder. I have most of the Bosch 12v range and this is the smallest. Slightly bigger than the LED torch. The disks are also tiny, you know it’s like seeing cute baby shoes that you instantly fall in love with. Apart from it’s looks, it’s a great tool, works as it should, it’s silent, it’s brushless. I like it. I wouldn’t pay for it over £100 though, I bought it because it was on offer and I’m happy that I did. Perfect for small tasks.

BUT its not a powerful angle grinder - more a trim and lightweight material cutter. It does not compare to a 4" angle grinder but is really useful with the carbide blade for trimming and cutting small sections of wood, plastics or thin metal sheet. It aguments rather than replaces a normal 4" grinder. Really useful for htose jobs where a larger grinder is a bit too rough or powerful.

Very satisfying and confidence-inspiring little grinder. Firstly it's small and has limited cutting capacity due to the size, secondly as other reviewers note, the motor stalls pretty easily. But I have found I prefer a grinder stalling when the cutting disc binds than the behaviour of larger grinders, namely yanking or kicking back – it seems much safer and inspires confidence. If you just let the grinder do the work and don't force the cutting disc it cuts very well – the higher RPM roughly compensates for the smaller disc size (resulting in a similar tangential velocity at the cutting edge) and results in a comparable rate of cutting. I have also found it works very well with "roloc" type abrasives using a third-party adapter. Only real disadvantage I've found is it chews through batteries pretty quickly (unavoidable with a tool this powerful), so make sure you have several of them available.

This is an excellent tool, I use it for sharpening the lawn mower blade, it cuts chicken wire like it is not there, is fine for cutting M12 threaded rod (even thicker for occasional cuts) also works great on cutting the the ends of rusted bolts. With the diamond blade you can trim and shape tiles accurately - superb for little "notches" and other intricate shapes. The cutting disk is easy to change - there is a collar that slides up to lock motor and the included hex/allen key is used to loosen and remove the screw that holds the disk in place, takes 30 seconds to do. I have been using this for over a year and had no problems, of course it is a 75mm disk on a 10.8v tool, so don't buy it thinking it will be good for paving slabs and rsj steel beams!

This is a perfect product. Unbelievable quality. No other manufacturer makes anything like this. Parkside do an imitation of this, which I own, which broke after 1 month use. The fact this has a brushless motor too means no brushes to wear out in the motor, which in powertools, is always the first thing to go, if nothing else breaks outright. I use this every single day to cut cables, trim trunking, cut pipe, grind things down. You know you have that one tool that you actually look forward to using because it's such a pleasure to use? Also has an electronic brake so blade stops as soon as you turn it off. 5 stars to bosch for a frankly amazing tool. Worth every penny.

Excelente herramienta muy versátil

Excellent

Tudo para ser TOP, Compacta, de fácil manuseio, bem construída, faz cortes precisos e é da linha Heavy Duty que em teoria é pra ser mais resistente e com garantia adicional de um ano. Gostei muito do produto, vou testar mais para perceber a potência. Não sei se é desnecessário mas senti falta de um controle de velocidade. Recebi a produzida na Alemanha. Veio com 3 discos, 2 para Inox e 1 para madeira, plástico...

La herramienta es pequeña y al ser de batería es muy practica para sacar de apuros , la estrena cortando tiratrim de aluminio, el cual lo corta sin problema. Incluye un disco para cortar acero (inox) y uno de carburo (madera, plástico) . La herramienta esta hecha en Alemania , que ya es algo raro.

Otroligt effektiv maskin. Snabb service från Amazon.se trygg och pålitliggaranti
