Where it sits among 125mm angle grinders

Scaled against the 59 angle grinders with a 125mm disc we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

Makita's 18V LXT cordless 125 all-rounder, on a paddle deadman switch. Brushless, with an electric brake, soft start, Star Protection and AFT bind-sensing shut-off. If you want one 125mm grinder for the 18V platform and like a safety paddle, this is the natural choice; the DGA513 is the same tool with a lock-on slide switch.
