Hello everyone,
I'm looking to buy a corded electric 1/4" die grinder, and I try to always buy the best tools I can afford, which usually lands me in the high-end contractor-grade category, (think Milwaukee Fuel), but not in the industrial/commercial grade (think Hilti).
Problem is, my research into die grinders hasn't yielded much useful info. Virtually all the reviews include the same 4-5 models: the basic makita, the basic dewalt, the basic metabo, etc. Low-end 100$ models missing many essential features, like variable speed control.
Right now, it seems like Metabo is the leader for die grinders, but I know that they've had a significant drop in quality since they were purchased by Hitachi, and shifted their production facilities around, a few years ago. I don't know if they're really still the kings in the die- and angle-grinder space.
Right now, I have my eyes on the Metabo GE 950 Plus line, in one of it's many incarnations... even though I can't seem to find them available in Canada. Either way, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend other quality, well-made options.
Any thoughts/recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
