Last year was Metabo’s 50th anniversary so they came out with special edition 4-1/2” & 6” grinders with gold trim and some extra wheels in packaging. Well it’s no longer their 50th anniversary year while the 6” gold grinders are all gone you can pick up the few remaining Metabo Gold 4-1/2” Grinders for a steal at $99!!! That’s a huge savings, over 30% for a typical WP9-115 Quick, won’t last long!
We recently had an opportunity to demo the Metabo S-automatic safety slip clutch in action which is the standard on all their new grinders. We first used the “other guys” grinder, then the Metabo, it’s pretty clear the Metabo grinders are going to limit the amount of shrapnel which can occur if a cutting wheel gets jammed up.
Metabo is well known for having the best angle grinders that seem to last the longest in even the toughest environments, in addition to being the toughest also the safest with slip clutch, option brake, different handle options, lanyard hooks and many more features. Combine these grinders with their Slicer ($.92/each) and Slicer Plus ($1.22/each) cutting wheels, Made in USA, and you have a very nice solution for metal cutting!
