BoschGWS12V-30N 12V Max Brushless 3 In. Angle Grinder (Bare Tool)

Good little grinder but it has a bad design on the switch. Very hard to keep the switch on and keep the grinder running. I do think it's a flaw in design. I returned the first one because of the switch but the 2nd one has the same problem. Thinking it might be operator error, we kept it and used it. Since we don't use it often, the warranty ran out and we could not return the tool. I need to call the company to get some feedback. The size is great for my small hands. Also the batteries don't hold a long charge. I use for Horse Hoof Trimming. I have 2 genuine batteries so I can switch them out while I work, if they get slow. The tool works but the switch is a pain to use. If I could, I would return this. Price is too high for the hassle with the switch

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It’s what I wanted, I have multiple Bosch handheld electrical tools and operation functioned great.

A+

Strong little grinder. After just a few uses the small tab that keeps the sliding switch engaged has worn down, and the switch disengages when the tool encounters any amount of vibration. I have to continually hold the switch in place to run the grinder. Good battery life, but after running the grinder for a bit the battery needs to be reset in the housing for it to make contact. Overall a good mini grinder and gets the job done with some tweaking.

Excelente calidad y producto

BMuy buen producto. Ya lo estoy usando

As the conflicting evaluations start, the machines are only excellent if you indeed use them for small projects. The benefit of this machine is its small size; the disadvantage is that its small size makes it a poor choice for large projects where a full fine angle grinder is needed -- at least IMHO. For small projects it was terrific. I cut 24-high quality metal screws in a row quickly and easily on one charge without problem.

I finally purchased this grinder after reading positive reviews. Never actually used it because it stopped working after 3 minutes. Turned off and on and sometimes it would come on and sometimes not. Battery indicator shows not power even after charging new battery. I was able to return it to Amazon.Due to the positive reviews I ordered another one immediately believing my experience was an isolated case.The second grinder did the same only much worse than the first. Believing the problem is with the switch or the battery connection I had my husband put the battery on and take it off. No difference, it still does not work consistently.Planned to use this for trimming horse’s hooves. Was getting horse use to sound which is why it wasn’t actually used, but just turned on.The battery is very difficult to get off and if you don’t have strong hands you likely won’t be able to get it off the grinder.After reading negative reviews, I see other people have had the same issue with this grinder.Very disappointed.
