Score: 68/100Rankings
The Metabo HPT G12SR4 is a compact, lightweight angle grinder that offers excellent value by including five grinding wheels and a hard case. Its Quick-Off safety feature and robust build quality make it a reliable choice for various tasks. It is best suited for users who prioritize portability and accessory inclusion.
The Craftsman V20 Angle Grinder offers a durable build with a cast metal gear housing and a brushless-equivalent motor, making it a reliable choice for the V20 ecosystem. However, its lower RPM and tool-only configuration make it less ideal for heavy-duty continuous use. It is best suited for users already invested in the Craftsman V20 battery system who need a portable, durable grinder.
