The variable speed makes this angle grinder a joy to use! By slowing down the speed you can grind, wire wheel, or buff longer.Wire wheels last longer at slower speeds.
John of decades of using Metabo grinders
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024
Hi: Personally have decades of using Metabo grinders and occasionally other brands. Bought this only to replace current (same model) and delivery was great as currently on a job requiring grinder. Received and opened box to immediately recognize that the cord was a shortened 8 ft and the rubber cord protector was an inferior type and not thick, tight, heavy protector that Metabo uses, same goes for the plug end. Grinder also came with the standard inferior disk attachment nut with spanner wrench; not the patented Metabo hand tighten, quick change nut, we have all come to appreciate. The speed control has changed also in its placement and direction and didnt have the same firm, hard plastic and feel. Used the grinder off and on for approximately 1 hr and speed control stopped working. Monday morning managed to track down this grinder in Portland, as need it ASAP for work. Paid extra but what amazed me was earlier thinking that I was sold grinder that had less expensive parts to save costs so a vendor could offer it at discount price. Was wrong, grinder bought at the retail store was the exact same and voiced my concerns to management. They had me speak to a authorized tool repair person that repairs Metabo and was told that unfortunately some things have been changed to help keep or maintain profit margin or costs. There is not a grinder available that can still compete with Metabo but will warn anyone seeking to buy and don't use this on a constant basis. Buy the extended warranty. Looked at getting a few parts to fix my other Metabo grinder and it gets to the point that its just better to buy another. Amazon offers some great prices on these grinders and even with the 3 yr extended warranty it is still a deal...... Have a larger Metabo that used only for outside cutting stone. Long days of cutting, unplug it, hang it by the cord, use garden hose and spray out the inside to wash out all the stone dust. Next day will start using it again. Occasionally open the gear box and replace the right angle head gear grease. Only thing actually replace is brushes and couple times a cord...... Metabo are bullet tough. Can add, that my daughter does metal sculptures and bought her the 10amp because she has small hands. Its a fantastic unit and used it for 1 week till she took it from me. If your grinding complex, convoluted things and constantly required to be moving grinder position. Buy the 10 amp WEV11-125 and you won't regret it. Control of using that grinder is unsurpassable. Hope this helps, happy grinding....... John

It took only 8 months to stop working. I sent it to Metabo company and for what they were asking me to pay, I decided to buy a new one from a more trustable brand, now I am happy with my Dewalt.

I used it with carving disc and flap disc to recessed flat roof drain into plywood surface and was very pleased with the power, stability and smooth speed control of this product. I was using Bosh before, but more and more often all bosh tools I have being replaced for different brand or Chinese brands and I am more happy with the unknown brands on this market then will all bellowed brands like; bosh, Dewalt, Makita or even Milwaukee.

This was a replacement that I purchased after returning a inexpensive adjustable speed grinder that was absolutely 👎, not worth. The comparison can start from turning on the grinder and listening to the motor. It wore out in 2 hours so that may have something to do with appreciating high quality. If you need a good adjustable speed grinder spend the $ and add to your shop.

The real cost is not as advertised, and that warning is in the digital "fine print" on the sellers page. The advertised cost is 298.69 plus 48.77 delivery. On the sellers (not the products) page- "Canadian Customers are responsible for all duties and taxes." True. Via UPS = $106.46 brokerage fee. 30.2 % MORE than the advertised TOTAL cost, including delivery. Not including delivery, the brokerage fee is almost 35%.It's a very good tool. In fact, a GREAT tool. Why not be up front and clearly display its actual cost, including brokerage fees? We all know good tools cost more. And please, don't blame the government.

Lower noise and vibration levels than all those I used in my shop as well as three manufacturing locations I worked at vibration level is so low that the disc nut does not significantly tighten by itself as with other angle grinders.
