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 do-everything compact: a 115mm on the 40V XGT platform that combines keyless X-LOCK disc changes, AWS wireless extractor start, a five-stage variable-speed dial and an electric brake in one tool. It is brushless with soft start, Star Protection and AFT, and at 3.7 m/s² it shares the lowest vibration in this Makita line-up with the GA040G. If you want the most fully featured cordless 115 Makita makes and you are on XGT, this is it.
