2 Best 4" Angle Grinders: Best in the Business and Great on Your Budget

Every heavy-duty craftsman requires an equally heavy-duty grinder and, fortunately, high-quality grinding is not as hard nor as pricey to find as you might expect. Industrial manufacturers Hitachi and Makita each built a 4" corded grinder that takes quality grinding to a new level while also taking it there at a great price.

Hitachi's G10SR3 (4") angle grinder is built to champion your most heavy-duty grinding (carving and smoothing) applications, and with all its perks and features, it does its job with uncommon superiority. With a 6 amp motor and 400W of output power this tool moves through the toughest grinding jobs with surprising ease, and being ultra compact and lightweight (weighing only 3.1 lbs), the grinder offers craftsmen greater control and maneuverability, especially during overhead applications that can quickly become strenuous. The tool's removable side handle and low profile gear case maximize the tool's overall comfort, promising improved control (for both right and left-handed users) and better access into tight-spaces. Additionally, the grinder has externally accessible brushes offering vastly simplified on-site maintenance, easier brush replacements, and an extension to your tool's overall life - and what's more, the tool is built with the highest quality components like, auto-stop carbon brushes to ensure reliable motor durability and always smooth performance. Ultimately, the G10SR3 is a miraculous beast of a grinder, and pricing at only $40 - $60, this is one tool that delivers heavy-duty, high-performance at an extremely good price.

Makita builds another angle grinder of serious, superior quality that also comes at just as neat a price. Ranging in price from about $50 - $60, the tool boasts aggressive performance with a price tag that is difficult to resist. The 9553NB (4") angle grinder is succinctly compact and this refined, small size renders it uncommonly ideal for smaller, tight-space grinding applications. With 6 amps of super power the tool is highly aggressive while still weighing only 3.1 lbs - this power and weight combination renders the tool both immensely strong and simply maneuverable, and the 9553NB is truly as handsome on the inside as it is on the outside; with an all ball bearing design and metal gear housing, the grinder is extremely durable, and with thicker coil wires that wind ultra close, the tool boasts notably reduced heat and energy loss during use. The grinder additionally flaunts an unique "labyrinth" construction that, by creating a series complex channels, protects the motor and bearings from dust and debris. Thus, with unmatched longevity and serious grinding capabilities, the 9553NB is a brutal tool that will help you achieve the most impressive, precise grinding through even the heaviest applications.

Either of these grinders is certain to deliver the utmost in professional results and handling, and because they are also corded, you can rely not only on their quality fabrication, but also on a non-dwindling power source that will never leave you stranded in the middle of a job or application. With power, precision, and durability, these grinders are the absolute best of the 4" grinding community.
