The G12SS2 4-1/2″ Angle Grinder is a lightweight and compact tool that delivers high performance and durability while remaining compact. This model has a narrower grip diameter, which allows for greater control and less fatigue during prolonged use. It is ideal for a variety of tasks such as grinding metal and masonry, removing rust and paint, and sanding different surfaces.
I had hoped to smooth out a newly cemented patio that had been made rough by some concrete splatters by using a power sander. However, after only 30 seconds of “grinding” with very little downward pressure, this grinder became hot, smoked, and smelled as if it was about to catch on fire, indicating that it was about to catch fire. The fact that I did not even get to grind a full square inch before this thing basically gave up on me is a testament to how quickly this thing can die. If I had known, I would not have chosen this for ANY type of grinding project in the first place.
