Customer Reviews for RIDGID 8 Amp Corded 4-1/2 in. Angle Grinder

Corded! Not going with battery powered because of how long it takes to get it back from repair.

Unit arrived on time perfect condition. Worked excellent used it on a special project and it worked great I have all the confidence and rigid tools that’s all I buy is rigid tools the quality is there and the durability is there thank you very much for making a great product

The Ridgid 8 Amp grinder is a descent entry level grinder pricewise so far. My biggest complaint about it is that I was unaware that it is a discontinued tool when I ordered it. I feel that should have been stated in the advertisement. I only found that out when I went to order a spare flange nut and disk flange. The upside is that the Ridgid part numbers and Ryobi part numbers seem to be the same.

Perfect small Grinder.. Works as good or better than other brands I’ve own over the years. Have battery powered ones also but nice to have a corded one around for more power when doing bigger projects. I get tired having to swap out batteries so this one fixes that Problem for me. Another huge issue for me is the LSA… So far I love it..

Great tool. I use it everyday and it works great.

Great standard old time corded grinder. Works great. Had to order it on-line because they don't carry it in the store.

Did NOT have as much power as hoped for

First impression appears to be made from quality material, Only used for a short period so far. Only suggestion would be to place on/off slide switch to top of housing as it would allow for ether hand to start-stop.

It works GREAT.. and with a Lifetime Warranty I know I'll never have to buy another one.

Great tool cuts and grinds metal fast!!

This angle grinder was everything I was looking for. Not only does it have more then enough power, the auto lock switch is a big help. The moveable guard is helpful. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The price was a little more then other brands but we’ll worth it. I am a big fan of the Ridgid brand.

This grinder worked great. It is a great tool.

Quality tool that does exactly what I need.

Plenty of power but ergonomics are not great. Switch is in awkard place and motor has a rough/cheap sound. Hard to describe but kinda like the old harbor freight tools. But has lifetime warranty so hopefully it will last.

lightweight to use , can,t go wrong with ridgid

This grinder is great ! It feels like quality in your hands . When starting it it definitely sounds like quality unlike harbor freight grinders when you start them
