Why This Tool Is Worth It
The X LOCK system lets you swap wheels without a wrench. Snap the new one on, pull the lever to release, and get back to work.
Safety is a big part of this grinder. AFT shuts the motor off if the wheel suddenly binds, and the electric brake stops the wheel in 2 seconds or less.
The paddle switch has no lock on, plus anti restart protection so the tool won’t fire up if you slide in a battery with the switch on.
