it could be an old model.
my first bosch had the hard lead and problems
with the power button.
the second purchased, has a soft cable and no problem with the button.

BAH!!! if I have to make a few cuts, the battery-powered one is enough.
but 90% of the time I use the electric one,
the battery-powered one I keep for trim and small measures.
or to make the edge of the cuts.

I've 2 little bosch grinders, 1 is variable speed and a variable speed Makita. All are 240v, never tried a cordless one, why would I?

try asking the gypsies.
I sold 1 battery-powered grinder, I did not understand
because they called me only the Gypsies.
with the time I understood .... 🙂

I’ve got the Brushless Makita with the paddle switch and 5ah batteries. Cutting 12mm porc this week, like a hot knife through butter. I do have a corded one but never use it now.
Which model is that? Do you also use it for polishing?
Cordless Bosch.

Most of my grinder work is done with a Bosch
7-115 110v tho, it’s a very good one handed grinder.

Who got the cordless Hilti, supposedly vibration free???

I got one last week Mark. Some piece of kit. With the 22v it doesn’t struggle at all. As far as vibration I haven’t noticed any but I think that’s more to do with the disc. It’s not as easy to handle as the Metabo but it’s a proper work horse and has more power. I was working with 750’s last week and every cut had to be grinded and one battery lasted me to around 3pm and I mean it was working.
If you didn’t want to spend the money on the Hilti then my next recommendation would be the Metabo without doubt.

Has anyone ever tried the Lidl cordless grinder? I don't currently use a grinder but i was looking to get one soon. A Lidl opened round the corner from me and i went for a middle aisle trip (as you do) and spotted an adjustable speed cordless grinder, comes in at around £50 with a battery and charger. If i do get on with it alright i would probably be looking to invest in another. i saw folk say the same brand of paddle mixer was decent so thought it could be worth a try?
@LEE MAC are you still using yours and do you rate it? I tried a search and you came up as mentioning having one last year

What size is the battery? You might need 2 batteries for cordless depending on how much you use it
There was the option to buy 4ah & 2ah 20v batteries, it's not on their site so i'll pop in again later on to check costs

Not got that grinder but imo wouldnt get less than the 4Ah Tony, currently doing site work and can do 2x5Ah batteries in in a day

I have a Makita grinder with brushes which I have to keep changing but getting so hacked off with it I am getting a brushless version
My first post! Recently joined, I love my 115mm brushless cordless makita, coupled with the marcrist ck850 akkumax blade . Just purchased the 250 1200 110v rubi wet saw to combat these 1200x1200’s I’ve been installing and even with the standard blade it cuts amazing! Where’s it been all my life lol

I also have most brands of 110 grinders and Hilti again is my main stay. I recently bought a Bosch gws 7 115 and for the money it’s a super impressive grinder that’s due to being so slim is really nice to handle.
Imo in this field you get what you pay for for sure. I would say my work is heavy on a grinder. The Lidl grinder would be ok for occasional use, cutting trims or tails off tiles after you’ve cut them on a Sigma etc but for a lot of grinding you need a good machine. I have a cordless Hilti and it’s a beast but very expensive. Next to that I have a cordless Metabo and imo having used cordless Makitas, Dewalts and Bosch’s it’s by far the next best. I don’t think there’s much point in buying cheap cordless gear. You’re better picking a brand that has a good range of tools and is robust, reliable and with a good warranty. My Metabo is just under 3 years old and the motor packed in, they replaced the brushless motor no qualms at all.

OK cheers @LEE MAC i had been looking at the Metabo previously as I saw folk talking about it in here and I likes the sound of it having watched a couple reviews. I may just wait and save up a bit. Thought it might have been worth a punt after I had seen you had one in a post but I'll just need to treat myself. Again
