Cordless grinder

[Gazzer]

Makita or Bosch ??? Hmmm which one ?

 

[Dan]

Battery-wise, which one is the best?

 

[Gazzer]

Bosch come with 4amp while Makita 3Amp

 

[aphilp]

Both are good, but Bosch more powerful

I guess it depends what your other tools are. I bought the Makita impact driver, drill, grinder and er...........little vacuum! Do not buy the vacuum - it is absolutely useless. The grinder has a nice weight to it. Battery life depends on what you are cutting. The best tool of the bunch is the impact driver - makes short work of drilling screws into Hardiebacker.

I know a few guys who keep a cordless in the boot of there motors just in case they get clamped.....

Makita 18v battery grinder every time. You can buy replacement brushes when they get tired mine is into its 4 th yr and third set of brushes still going strong. Oh and you can get a 110v charger a bonus for us on sites
