Angle Grinder Tool, 4-1/2-Inch, 6-Amp (PCEG011) Black

Handy powerful little grinder. I have used it to cut metal, cut porcelain tile, grind concrete, and cut/ polish granite. It has worked like a champ for almost two years so far. Had a small part break and product support was excellent. You won't regret buying!

Ive used this thing for a few months now, putting it under some pretty heavy duty jobs, and it has worked flawlessly. No overheating, not a whole lot of vibration. It is heavy and the cord keeps you from getting into some hard to reach places as a battery powered one, but for the price you cant really expect that either. For general cutting and grinding, its perfect. If you do a ton of metal work, I would say get the battery powered version of this one too, its much more maneuverable for when you need that. Only downside is its not nearly as powerful and costs more.

Had this for over 4 years no problem good tool

Best deal out there for a grinder. I’m very hard on power hand tools. I’m not trashing them or throwing them down hard, or pushing too hard, l just use them daily. I use them and expect them to work as hard as I do. Most tools I buy, sadly, don’t measure up. I know I’m buying a low cost grinder here. That said, how long should a low cost grinder work for if all it’s doing is grinding steel? 2 years, maybe 3 years? I’m lucky if I get 6 months out of it. You may ask why I don’t buy a better grinder? I have, many times, and these last just as long as the ones that cost 4 times as much. So, is it me, or the tool companies that no longer make a quality tool that lasts doing the job it’s only designed to do? I don’t know, but I’ve decided that for the money this is the only grinder I’m going to buy. It will last just as long as all the others and if it’s going to die in 6 months anyway, why spend the extra money! I would gladly buy a nicer tool that not only works, but feels good in the hand, and also lasts, but I have not found one, at least not a hand grinder.

I love Porter Cable, I'm a Porter Cable freak. I even wrote them to see if they have any branding that I could hang in my shop! no dice. Honestly I'll use this a hand full of times a year for power carving, and what I love about Porter Cable is that it's a sound, reliable and constant producer of fine results. This has the torque you need without fuddling with an air compressor. It has a very comfortable hand grip and rests well in the palm. I don't care for the power toggle though, the on/off function is awkward because to turn off you have to push the toggle then flip the switch...for safety reasons I find that excessive. BUT - cool product Porter Cable, keep it up and I'll keep buying it up.

I don't think this is the most ergonomically designed tool but it worked correctly out of the box. I installed two sinks in granite with it, and it never offered to overheat. It provided solid even power to the blade. I had no issues with blade installation or the safety shield. If you do not do any great deal of work that you need an angle grinder for, this is a cost effective solution that performs quite well for the price. By the way, I have been using a Porter Cable reciprocating saw for remodeling work for 15 years and it's still fine. I expect based on the limited use so far that this one will be equally reliable.

I have used this angle grinder for a dozen projects by now- everything from cutting off copper toilet flanges, cutting screws to size, cutting off nails, to cutting through [almost solid] 3"-4" pipes that held up a fence. I haven't had any issues with it yet and find it easy and comfortable to use. If you're looking for replacement cutting wheels, I have been using a single one (that came in a pack) for all these projects and it seems like it will still last me quite a while- DeWALT Type 1 DW8062 (I also bought a pack of DW8062B5 but have not used those yet).

Quality and value. It sounds goofy but, yea. the sintered gear in the drive sounds perfect and quiet. Good torque, stays cool, switch is not undualy cumbersome. I think it may have been 40 bucks at the time. Better than the medium quality Sears I bought 15 years ago. Far better than the 15 dollar harbor freight I have. Close if not equal to my Bosch. It will be the next one if I need a sixth one.

It has an odd on/off sw , no variable control . but once you are used to the locking "on" switch everything is great . good strong tool .

Excelente producto, resistente robusto, la relación calidad-precio es muy buena, lo más importante el tiempo de entrega, llegó antes de lo previsto, recomendado al 100%.

Excelente producto de gran calidad, la verdad la compré por qué estaba barata pero me sorprendió

I've been using it trouble free for quite a while now. Well worth it.

Tenía dudas por ser una marca un tanto desconocida, en el tiempo que la compré, pero me ha funcionado muy bien. Si no la exiges demasiado (si no trabajas mucho tiempo continuo), te va a servir por años.
