Where it sits among 115mm angle grinders

Scaled against the 41 angle grinders with a 115mm 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 GA040G is the 115mm X-LOCK XGT grinder with a slide switch: tool-free disc changes, brake, soft start, AFT and AWS, and very low vibration at 3.7 m/s². The GA043G is the paddle-switch version.
