Had a couple of Makita tools from Howe's ,,as good as any of the other big name brand sellers ,,if a brand comes with the 3 yr warranty registration ,,it doesnt matter whos selling it

I've three Hitachi grinders, can't fault them, good value too.
I think they're still rebranded as HiKoki

Howe tools good . Makita Bosch or DeWalt good with extended warranty
I have had a 9 inch Hitachi since February 2003 . I wouldmt remember what I did yesterday , so it's a miracle how I know the age of it . I was finishing feed barriers in a new slatted shed at the time .
Anyone have a Metabo grinder ? Any good ?
Are there 2 ranges of them ?

I still use the 9" Makita that I bought in 1987 - the 4" Bosch I bought around 2010 didn't last much more than a year.
I like to have 2 9s" and 2 4s" to save swapping discs around.

Hitachi for me. I bought a Flex brand previously but I killed the rotor by using it for cutting concrete, it didn't like the water and dust. It is on me as I shouldn't do that but the old hitachi has always done it, it had to come to the rescue and do the job, making weird noises along the way (hence why I bought the Flex) but still going strong after loads of abuse.
Also my hoof guy has always had hitachi and hikoki, he says they are the only one that take the abuse.

whats a slitter bob?
hitachi 9 inch is good and only about 50 quid +vat. if you are using it a lot you will want a 2400 or 2600w metabo.
