 Solid grider, but Hitachi cheaped out February 21, 2008
D. Beck (San Francisco, CA)

I've owned this grinder for a few years and haven't had a problem with it grinding through concrete and steel. It's a workhorse, though maybe a little bulky compared to Hitachi's newer grinders. One thing that has come to bug me to no end, though, is its lack of a carrying case. It would have cost Hitachi a measly dollar to blow- or injection-mold a case to hold the grinder and a few different abrasive grinding discs, but NOOOOOO. They were too cheap to do that, and this grinder is pretty expensive! I've emailed Hitachi, asking if they had an aftermarket case (yes, I'd be willing to pay even MORE money), and they never responded. VERY disappointing. Had I known how much I'd miss having a case, I wouldn't have purchased this model.

We use this grider to trim the hoofs on our dairy cattle. It is the only one that has lasted more than 1 yr. We are on our 3rd one now. A little on the heavy side, but the durability is worth the extra weight. Until we found this grinder, we were going through different one every week to a month. I've bought 3 and I'll buy more.
Just buy the best - you can't go wrong March 15, 2006

I now have four of the best quality grinders on the market. Without telling you all the brands I wanted this grinder because of the quality put into Hitachi products. This is a very well made 4 1/2 inch grinder with a heavy duty rating & great quality. The grinder is a few onces heaver but that is why it's more heavy duty. I placed a 3/4" diamond blade in this grinder and had no problem removing concrete & mortar in one pass between the brick joints. None of my other grinders could handle the size or load this grinder can handle. Hitachi puts out fantastic quality tools for pros and homeowners. If you need this type of tool don't waste your money on a cheap grinder, this one will put the others to shame.

Price is little steep @ $90 but is well worth it!
Paddle switch is very well designed it locks on easily one-handed ( I tried dewalt's and it did not work nearly as well)
Seems a little heavy @ first but is really easy to handle
Wish they included a case though
Works well with sanding kit
