BOSCHGWS12V-30N 12V Max Brushless 3 In. Angle Grinder (Bare Tool)

Good little grinder but it has a bad design on the switch. Very hard to keep the switch on and keep the grinder running. I do think it's a flaw in design. I returned the first one because of the switch but the 2nd one has the same problem. Thinking it might be operator error, we kept it and used it. Since we don't use it often, the warranty ran out and we could not return the tool. I need to call the company to get some feedback. The size is great for my small hands. Also the batteries don't hold a long charge. I use for Horse Hoof Trimming. I have 2 genuine batteries so I can switch them out while I work, if they get slow. The tool works but the switch is a pain to use. If I could, I would return this. Price is too high for the hassle with the switch

It’s small, strong & light! Feels very comfortable in hand & cuts smoothly.Cuts 1/16 inch sheet metal like cutting cheese!You can feel the quality.Thanks to Bosch for making such a great tool.

Highly recommend. although its small it has good power and is easy to use in tight spaces.

I bought it to cut gutter guards on a whole house gutter project. It did the job but was slow an under powered. I did drop it off the roof, 15 foot fall and it worked just fine afterward, thus it is tough and functional.

I didn't expect this grinder to be so small and portable, it looks a lot thicker in the picture on the site, but I am very happy with the product, it came with two grinder wheels: one a little thick that says "Metal Grinding Wheel" the other is really thin and says "Metal Cutting Wheel", that's the one I bought it for but I didn't realize I didn't order a battery or charger so now I'm waiting for them to come in so I can cut some metal or aluminum roofing panels I got for now.

As the conflicting evaluations start, the machines are only excellent if you indeed use them for small projects. The benefit of this machine is its small size; the disadvantage is that its small size makes it a poor choice for large projects where a full fine angle grinder is needed -- at least IMHO. For small projects it was terrific. I cut 24-high quality metal screws in a row quickly and easily on one charge without problem.

I have two 6 ah batteries for this tool. They each run for 30 or more minutes, but take a couple of hours to charge. Still I like using this grinder/cutoff tool.I have a plug in grinder that is much more powerful and quicker to use, but I prefer using this small grinder that is easier to control. For a DIY welding project it works nicely, if pricey.

I finally purchased this grinder after reading positive reviews. Never actually used it because it stopped working after 3 minutes. Turned off and on and sometimes it would come on and sometimes not. Battery indicator shows not power even after charging new battery. I was able to return it to Amazon.Due to the positive reviews I ordered another one immediately believing my experience was an isolated case.The second grinder did the same only much worse than the first. Believing the problem is with the switch or the battery connection I had my husband put the battery on and take it off. No difference, it still does not work consistently.Planned to use this for trimming horse’s hooves. Was getting horse use to sound which is why it wasn’t actually used, but just turned on.The battery is very difficult to get off and if you don’t have strong hands you likely won’t be able to get it off the grinder.After reading negative reviews, I see other people have had the same issue with this grinder.Very disappointed.
