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

The 125mm XGT slide-switch grinder, stepping the 40V platform up to the more common disc size. Same brushless package as the rest of the XGT line, an electric brake, soft start, Star Protection and AFT, with a lock-on switch for steady grinding. At 6.5 m/s² it carries the most vibration of the XGT 115 and 125 models, the cost of the bigger disc; the paddle-switch GA013 is its deadman twin.
