Finally, DIYers who worry about a grinder being too much of a tool to handle are ideal candidates for the makita angle grinder. Sure, it’s a powerful machine, but the slow-start and the vibration control features make wielding it a breeze. Compared to other models, the Makita’s ergonomics and handling are spot-on. I performed hands-on testing with this Makita angle grinder to share with anyone shopping for one of these tools. My review provides real-life feedback about its design, capabilities, and other important information about its features.
It features labyrinthine construction that helps seal internal components from outside contaminants to help increase tool life. The easy-to-use large trigger switch locks on for extended operation, and a large shaft lock permits easy wheel changes. The switch handle rotates 90 degrees left and right, while the side handle may be configured in any of 3 positions to promote user comfort and control. The , designed for long-lasting stone grinding and polishing, offers 13 AMP variable speed power and comfort features. Makita engineered, the 9565CV has an innovative SJS mechanical clutch system that stands for longer tool life. Users can match RPM to the application using the 5-stage variable speed dial (2,800–10,500 RPM).
The 40 volt max xgt (r) brushless cordless 4-1/2, 5 inch cut-off/angle grinder with electric brake (gag01m1) delivers corded grinding performance without the cord for the most demanding applications. It’s powered by a makita built brushless motor which delivers 8500 rpm for heavy load applications and increased power and speed. The gag01m1 offers up to 60% faster cutting speed when cutting #5 (5/8 in) rebar. It is ideal makita cordless drill for grinding and cutting a wide range of materials including tile, concrete, pipe, conduit and more. An electric current limiter helps protect the motor from overload in high-torque applications. Additional features include an electric brake that stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 s or less and active feedback sensing technology (aft (r) ) that turns the motor off if rotation of the wheel is forced to a stop.

Ease-of-use features include an extra large paddle switch for comfortable operation, and a lock-on/off feature for continuous operation. The 9557PB weighs only 4.5 lbs., with a side handle that can be easily installed on either side of the tool.
