Bosch 1810PS 4-1/2-Inch Paddle Switch Grinder with Lock-On Switch

The Bosch 1810PS has the power and performance needed for any power carving applications that specify a 4-1/2" angle grinder. The Bosch 1810PS features a paddle switch with lock-on mechanism for better operator comfort and control. The vibration control handle reduces vibration up to 60, providing uncompromising comfort for extended periods of work. The sealed switch keeps debris out of the switch mechanism and extends switch life. To eliminate maintenance guesswork, Bosch has incorporated ServiceMinder brushes that will stop the tool when preventive maintenance is required. Directed Air Flow - Unique design diverts dust away from switch and vital components. Includes: Multi-Position Guard, Vibration Control Auxiliary Handle, Flange Kit, Spanner Wrench and Abrasive Wheel.

Grinders lack the glamour of routers, say, and compound miter saws, but when it’s a grinder you need, we don’t think there are too many better choices out there than this one. "You get what you pay for" is, we think, even more true in the world of tools than elsewhere, and this is definitely a case in point.

We’ve never met a Bosch tool that lacked quality, precision engineering, ergonomics and power, and this grinder is no exception. Our favorite feature on this one is definitely the paddle switch, not just for comfort and convenience, but for the ultimate in safety and control. We’re not big fans of the lock-on button, because it negates the safety feature of the paddle switch, but we know some of you wouldn’t have it any other way.

As for user ease, it’s fabtastic. It weighs in just over 4 pounds, and the balance in hand is supreme. Up against other grinders in its class, the vibration is absolutely minimal, virtually eliminating that unpleasant arm-buzz. Another thing we like about this grinder is its ability to draw power from DC outlets, so if you’ll be grinding welds, this tool is a perfect choice.

The 4-1/2-inch wheel changes out fast, and the guard adjusts without tools. The whole tool says "quality," from the sealed switch to the ServiceMinder™ brushes that automatically shut down the tool when it’s time to change them, ensuring that this workhorse will be with you for a long, long time. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
