Product Description
The 6156-20 Super Mag 5 inch 12 amp grinder offers extra heavy duty grinding capability in a compact body grip ergonomic design. This tool offers variable speed control 4000-11,000 RPM allowing the operator more control. Electronic feedback maintains speed and torque under load conditions. The power to weight ratio makes it perfect for those extra heavy duty confined area grinding projects. An integrated Lock-Off button is featured in the paddle switch. It also features a Lock-On button for continuous use applications. The tool is double insulated (two prong cord) and incorporates the industry standard 5/8-11 threaded arbor. It also has spiral bevel gears for optimum transmission of torque to the work piece. The comfortable body grip style is easy to hold onto, and in conjunction with the supplied side handle, allows for maximum operator control. The side handle can be attached in three locations. The wheel guard can be moved around the spindle (without the use of tools) for greatest operator protection. Sold as a grinder with guard, this tool can be used as a sander when a 5 inch backing pad and disc are attached.

Best Angle Grinder March 2, 2003
Joseph Michael Stelmach (Boulder, CO United States)

I've had this grinder for three years now, and have used it for cutting, grinding and sanding metal and masonry - it has been flawless. I've even thrown diamond-cutting wheels on it for wet and dry cutting of tile and concrete (also occasional drywall jobs).

I own three angle grinders - this 5" Milwaukee, a 7" Dewalt, and a 9" Milwaukee. I pull this out over 90% of the time. The balance, weight, and variable speed make this the tool of choice. You will probably be surprised how often you'll make use of the variable speed on this tool. This is one of only a few power tools that I couldn't live without.

The only drawback is the limited selection of 5" wheels, but since it out performs the other 4 1/2 grinders, that's not much of an issue. It isn't the cheapest angle grinder out there, but I'm convinced it is the best.
