Choosing an Angle Grinder Size

The wheel size sets what a grinder is good at. A 4.5 or 5 inch grinder is light and easy to control, which suits cutting, cleanup, and general fabrication.

A 6 inch grinder removes material faster, but it's heavier and takes a bit more muscle. Check what wheel size your discs and guards fit before you buy.

Switch Style and Quick Models

Several listings here carry "Quick" in the model name, such as the W11-125 Quick and the WP 11-125 Quick with a paddle switch. Quick usually refers to a faster wheel change, but confirm the details on each product page.

A paddle switch shuts off when you let go, which many people prefer for safety on a handheld grinder.

Corded Power for Heavy Grinding

Every grinder in this collection is corded and runs on standard 120V power. Corded tools keep full speed under load, so you aren't watching a battery gauge during a long grinding job.

Cordless 36V Options

For cordless work, the collection includes a 36V MultiVolt triple hammer impact driver and a 36V MultiVolt duplex nailer. Look at each listing to see whether a battery is included, since the pages don't make that clear on their own.

Discs, Wheels, and Replacement Parts

Grinding eats consumables. Stock up through our Metabo accessories and the wider power tool accessories page, and see Metabo power tool parts for replacement components.
