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 GA049G is the high-speed 115mm XGT grinder at 11,000rpm, set up for cutting with a cutting-wheel guard in the box. It is louder (93 dB(A)) and vibrates more than the variable-speed GA028G, which suits grinding better.
