The best angle grinder on the market
I purchased this angle grinder two years ago and i have used for brick, stone, concrete. I love the variable speed that is great when polishing granite.

    Bought it in store a couple of days ago and was looking forward to putting it to work. I have a number of Bosch products and always liked them but this was poorly thought out. It is long, unbalanced and just doesn't fit right. The paddle trigger and lock are difficult to engage with one hand because of it's poor balance. The whole paddle trigger is just weird. The grinder wheel is so close to the tool, I practically drag my hand across the material I'm working with. Like I said, I bought it in store and didn't even try out the display because "how can you go wrong with Bosch?". Try it out before you buy. This tool was not designed by someone who would use it. What a bummer. Taking it back today.

      Lightweight, powerful, safe
      A high quality angle grinder, I use it to cut metal with a cut off wheel, grind with a grinder disk and completely refurb'd my rusted BBQ grill by wire wheeling off the rust prior to painting with high temp paint. No shortage of power, speed is adjustable and it has the dead man switch that shuts it off if you loosen your grip (if you drop it, etc).

        Great Grinder
        Have purchased 2 of these in the past year. Quality products. Prefer Bosch over the other.

          Good Tool
          The best feature of this tool is the variable speed settings. I'm working indoors using 2 different diamond cup grinder attachments and a tuck pointing blade. Using other grinders at 10,000 or 12,000 rpm created a massive amount of dust in the air - fast!. Dial it down to it's slowest setting and this tool is a pleasure to use and easy to control. The dust collection attachment works well with the cup grinders but I can't find an appropriate size one for the tuck pointing blade. My biggest issue with the tool is that it gets very hot after about 15 minutes and takes a while to cool down. A minor criticism, the off switch is too easy to hit while working. It is superior to any other grinder I have used and I'd buy it again.

            Got this tool for work and stands up to all the jobs I put it through. From sanding to grinding hard steel to soft metals. Just wish the price was less.

              Top quality product
              I paid the significant extra money to get the variable speed feature because I use some sanding products that can't take the high RPMs of a single speed. I have used it at low RPMs and found it to be very strong. I have had very good luck with Bosch tools and would have no problem recommending them to someone who doesn't mind paying extra for quality tools. Note: Home Depot needs to work on their packaging. The tool was sent in a bag with no cushioning or padding, with significant damage to the box. Luckily, the tool was not damaged.
