Best Angle Grinder on Amazon? Metabo HPT G13SE3 / G12SE3 Angle Grinder Review

What's up guys?

Welcome back to tool review Tuesday!

Check out these Matabo HPT Angle grinders,

I've got two different models to show you today.

I haven't seen any other reviews

over these particular models on YouTube,

so let's take our first look at these.

I got the G12 SE 3 and the G13 SE3

the only difference here is the size of the guard.

Other than that

they're exactly the same.

The 13 comes with a 5 inch guard

and the 12 comes with a four and a half inch guard.

After four years of use

I absolutely recommend these

but let's take a closer look

and I'll show you exactly why.

The first thing I like about this grinder

is the locking paddle switch

is super easy to lock and unlock.

A very nice feature to have

and it's a lot

easier than some other grinders I've used

where it's basically a two hand operation to lock

the trigger.

Another nice feature is this arbor nut

I'm sure you've all fought with these before

getting stuck

but I can tell you after 4 years of use

I've never had a problem with these getting stuck.

I think it's due to

how much thicker they are than other

arbor nuts you typically see on other grinders.

This little lever here is another nice feature

this is so you can adjust

the position of the guard quickly without any tools

this should be a standard feature

on all grinders like this

but I still see some that you need a screwdriver

around wrench to adjust the guard.

These come standard with a 13 foot cord

which I really appreciate.

Probably the thing I like most about this Matabo

is the smaller size of the body of the grinder,

super easy to grab one handed after

you lock the trigger.

Here I'm just showing

you just how easy it is to use one handed

you can get a good grip on it

and not worry about it slipping out of your hand

when you're done

the paddle switch is easy to turn off.

Alright guys

hopefully this has been helpful.

I just wanted to show you a

few things I like about these particular grinders

I've used a lot of different grinders

in the 4 and a half to 5 inch range

like the Dewalts,

the Milwaukees, the Bosch,

the German made metabos

and several other brands

but hands down,

I prefer these over any of those

they're just much more user friendly

in my opinion.

If you use these particular grinders

let us know over in the comments

what your experience has been

positive or negative

it'll help other people

decide whether or not it's the right grinder for them.

Speaking of which,

I'll leave a link in the

comment section to both models here

so you can check those out

if you like

tour views like this

and you wanna see what else I use

in the shop

on a regular basis

that I find useful

don't forget to subscribe

and I'll show you another tool next Tuesday.

Other than that

guys stay safe

use a guard

and have a good one!
