An angle grinder’s an impressive power tool any homeowner wants to have on their tool bench. Sand, polish, and sharpen, or use it to grind and cut through metal, tile, stucco, pavers, and/or round out mortar. An angle grinder does all of these things and it does them well. The performance’s consistent and reliable, and it saves the wear and tear this sort of work will take when you use other means of getting it done.
The most popular uses of angle grinders are to cut tile, mortar, and pavers, to eliminate rust, to loosen paint, to sharpen blades, and to cut or grind steel. They’re quick to use and effective. Grinders like this require a cutting or grinding wheel which is usually switched out depending on performance or what’s being worked on. Needless to say, an angle grinder’s an underrated power tool.
Angle grinders, for the most part, are quite inexpensive in comparison with other power tools. Inexpensive low quality angle grinders also exist although we understandably want to avoid these. What you really want is a tool you can rely on for demanding work whether that’s cutting on cement, stucco, or something else. Ideally, this takes a powerful motor of at least 5-9 amps. Anything less isn’t worth entertaining, even for homeowners who are barely going to use it.
One of the best angle grinders in Canada is the PrimeCables branded model which includes a 6.5 amp motor, a 4.5” universal disc, and comes completely cordless so portability is easy. The cordless element of this power tool is worth speaking a little bit more about. Wires get in the way and in this age, they’re not needed as much especially on tools like these. Make your job easier by equipping yourself with the ability to charge and go.
Once you have your angle grinder in hand, you can buy different wheels and accessories to heighten the effectiveness of it on certain materials and/or for a different effect. For example, wire brush wheels are given to clean off rust from metals such as on a garden tool or pipe. You can choose to pair an abrasive wheel with your angle grinder or something completely different. Read the label. Every wheel may look similar but they can be designed in a way that the performance is very different.
Cordless power tools like angle grinders, power drills, automatic tire inflators, circular saws, and more are available from Canada’s own PrimeCables. You’ll absolutely love the access, free shipping on orders above $49, and the quality of performance perhaps above all else. Shop cordless angle grinders and more today.
