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 GA056G is the paddle-switch version of the flat-head GA055G, with the same low-profile head for tight corners and a dead-man paddle for sites that require one.
