PORTER-CABLE Angle Grinder Tool, 4-1/2-Inch, 7.5-Amp (PC750AG)

Like all porter cable tools i own, this was the same quality and durability I expected.

I purchased this grinder for $39.97. I seem to frequently find myself having to borrow a grinder from friends and family so I decided to purchase on for myself. I used this grinder to both cut apart an old propane outdoor grill, and cut apart links on a metal fence. Using a cutting wheel, I was able to easily and quickly complete both projects without any issues. The only issue that I had was that it was a little heavy to hold in an elevated position for long periods of time. Pros: * The grinder feels well built. There are no pieces or parts that jiggle or make noise, and it feels very sturdy in the hand. * The power cord is heavy duty and appears able to function longer and handle much bigger projects than I have planned. * The grinder comes with everything needed, including a grinding wheel. Cons: * Does not come with any type of case or bag to carry and store the grinder, but for the price that is pretty understandable. * It is a little heavier than I had anticipated, but not so much that I wasn't' able to complete the jobs. All things considered, for the money that I spent, this is a great product that I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Great item. Work as it should. No issue with this product. Would definitely buy again if needed. Good item for the price.

Good tool

2 yrs later update: Had to replace the power cord after severing it on a dumb move by me. Grinder still kicks ace. I beat the crap out of it and it beats back. Has paid for itself 10 fold. definitely worth the money! Porter Cable did an excellent job in the manufacturing of this angle grinder. First off, the power is on point. Coming from a slightly less amperage grinder to this was a serious difference in power that I did not expect. The ergonomics and functionality of the entire tool are outstanding. The switch with the option to lock on is awesome, but I don't even need to lock it on because the switch is in a perfect location with your grip as opposed to those grinders with the switch closer to the spinning wheel, and in my case that eventually wears out and you battle to keep the thing on. Furthermore, my favorite part really is the threaded hole locations for the auxiliary handle. they've machines a thread in the top of the grinder and I absolutely love it. for those times you need to get into tight spaces or you're like me and always had my guide hand on top of the tool, this design is for you. awesome power, really attractive look, ergonomic and the guard is smoothly adjusted to avoid getting sparks shot at you. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I have not had it very long but I'm telling you, from a tinkering welder who does a lot of grinding, this piece is awesome. and the price!? cmon... can't beat it!

In my "box of power tools" there is one grinder which has been working for many years and has held up well. With an occassional brush replacement and repacking with grease, that grinder has earned the reputation of being "old reliable". I therefore just ordered a second one, which is this review. Darn good grinder and it will last. My first one is over 5 years old and still works perfectly. Excellent power, low vibration, manageable cord [some of the power tools out there have those cords which seem to want to wrestle when in use, but not this one] and all components have held up well. Be sure to buy some spare brushes and periodically clean and repack the gearbox and this grinder will last. This model has been in production for a long time and is still being produced with the same high quality build.

This is my first angle grinder, so I've really nothing to compare it to. However, I love that the on/off switch is activated by pressure, so if you let go, it shuts off. I'm not sure why one reviewer said it was dangerous. I can't imagine a switch any safer. It does take the tool a few seconds to slow down and stop, so once you let go, it does have a about 7-8 seconds before it comes to a complete stop, which could be a problem if snags a piece of clothing or body part. But no tool could stop immediately, so. I've used this on hard wood such as walnut and oak and it does a great job with sanding discs and curved flip discs. It is heavy, but again, I imagine that lends a level of safety. I often have to stop and take a rest when I'm doing some heavy wood removal, but it's a power horse for what I need. I have had some issue with it burning wood occassionally, but that may be the super hard wood or...operator error. As I said I'm new to the angle grinder. If anyone has any input or it burning wood, please reply.

First of all? I miss Porter Cable tools. They are EXTREMELY durable and long lasting. As for this 90 degree grinder? I love it. It has 3 positions for the handle instead of the normal 2 for greater flexibility. It's corded which is my choice. Why? Because running a motor at high RPMs on a battery equals a dead battery within minutes. Certain tools just are not meant to be battery powered. It comes with a metal cutting disk but I went ahead and bought a couple packs of Diablo metal cutting disks. As always, These high RPM tools are loud so definitely wear hearing protection as well as shatter proof eye protection. Take good care of it and it will take good care of your projects.

The trigger is dangerous as it has a safety switch in the middle, works but you have to be holding the grinder just rite to make it work. I like the grinder it has a nice weight and I would buy again

Muy potente la verdad, solo se calienta un poco, pero todo bien.

Designed well. Porter Cable has good relability based on other tools of this brand.

Mucha potencia y se ve de buena calidad

I have never been dissatisfied with Porter-Cable products and this grinder sure falls into this category. Do not hesitate to purchase.
