An indispensable tool for everyday chores around the house or in the country is, of course, an angle grinder (angle grinder). People simply call her the Bulgarian. The latter name is assigned to it only in Russia and the CIS countries, because the instrument first appeared in Bulgaria.

An angle grinder is a convenient tool for both the average person and the master, because... Thanks to it, you can grind and polish any surface, as well as cut almost any durable metal structure.

As with other tools, users highlight the top best grinders for home and garden. Below we take a look at the characteristics of the best tools in the business in 2021.

How to choose the right grinder

When buying an angle grinder, you need to pay attention to the following characteristics: disc diameter, power, number of revolutions per minute, additional functions of an angle grinder. All these parameters determine the work of the grinder.

1

Diameter of the nozzle (circle). It is the disc that is the basis of the tool’s operation; thanks to it, grinding, polishing and cutting of the material is carried out. It is also important to remember that the “useful area” of using a disc on an angle grinder is only 1/3 or 1/4 of it. There are five types of disks:

• 115 mm is a small disk, the “usable area” of which is approximately 25 mm. With the help of such a grinder you can not only process the material, smooth out all the unevenness, but sometimes use it for small household work. There are also grinders with a 100 mm disc, which has a “usable area” of less than 20 mm. In this case, the tool is only suitable for cleaning the material from irregularities.
• 125 mm is the standard size of the nozzle, which is used both in everyday life and in construction. The “usable area” is approximately 40 mm. With this tool you can not only smooth out surface unevenness, but also cut almost any material.
• 150 mm is a circle that allows you to cut metal products, bricks, concrete structures, the “useful area” is approximately 50 mm.
• 180 mm is a circle used more by professional craftsmen for construction and repair. “Usable area” is approximately 60 mm.
• 230 mm is a nozzle for professionals, the cutting depth of which is 70 mm. Such grinders are used extremely rarely at home and in the country, because... As the diameter of the circle increases, the weight of the tool itself also increases. Therefore, using an angle grinder will not be so convenient.

2 Tool power. The speed and ability to work continuously depend on the power of the grinder. On average, the power of grinding machines is 500 W – 2,600 W. An angle grinder with a standard disc size of 125 mm can have a power of 600 W, or maybe 1,500 W. For ordinary work around the house or garden, a grinder with 600-900 W is enough. For construction and repairs, you need a device with a power above 1,500 W.

3 Number of revolutions per minute. Another important characteristic on which the speed of cutting and its quality depend. On average, grinders have a cutting speed of 7,000-9,000 rpm, but there are models whose speed reaches 12,000 rpm. Some models of angle grinders have such a convenient function as adjusting the speed.

4 Number of handles. There are angle grinders with one or two handles. Devices with one handle are used for domestic purposes, sometimes for professional ones. They are lightweight, so you can hold them by the handle with one hand and the body with the other. Angler grinders with two handles are used for professional work; they are heavy, so you need to hold them with both hands by the handles.

5 Additional functions. The more modern the device, the more functions it has. Additional features make the work of the master easier. What functions does the grinder have?

• “soft start”, i.e. start without jerking;
• spindle lock button for easy and quick drill change;
• speed adjustment;
• automatic dust blowing to keep the work surface clean;
• dust protection of inductor and armature;
• turning on a special button for long-term work;
• auto-balancing of the disk, which is why if the disk is erased unevenly, the device does not cause vibration in the hands.

All functions are important, and when purchasing, each person should consider exactly those that he will need for his work. It is also necessary to consider the types of grinders when purchasing:

• Household. The power of the device is no more than 1,100 W, and the disk diameter is standard 125 mm. They are usually used for domestic purposes at home and in the country. The price of such angle grinders is correspondingly lower than that of semi-professional or professional ones. They cannot work without breaks. On average, they work for 15 minutes, and rest should be at least 10 minutes. You can use the grinder no more than 20 hours a week, so as not to damage the device.
• Semi-professional. These are already more advanced grinders. Their power is 1,500-2,000 W, and the disk diameter can reach 230 mm. The price of such grinders is higher, but they can also be used for a longer period, 2-3 days a week. You won't have to take long breaks from work either.
• Professional. Such models are designed for permanent work; they are necessary for craftsmen involved in construction and repair. The power of such tools is 2,000 W or more. A disc diameter of 230 mm can be used quite easily. You can use this angle grinder every day.

Important! For everyday work around the house or dacha, an ordinary person can buy a household or semi-professional grinder (if the work is done frequently). The master is recommended to pay attention to professional tools with high power and labor productivity.

Makita, Bosch and Metabo stand out for their high reliability, but their tools are quite expensive. The quality is not inferior to Interskol, and the prices are lower.

Top 2. Interskol UShM-150/1300

Rating (2021): 4.46

290 reviews from resources were taken into account: Yandex.Market, All Tools, Reviewer, DNS

Best price The cheapest average angle grinder, costing 20% ​​less than its closest competitor with similar characteristics.

• Characteristics

  Average price: 3,600 rub.

• Country Russia
• Power (W): 1300
• RPM: 8500
• Disc size (mm): 150
• Handle: three position
• Weight (kg): 2.9

The Interskol company often pleases consumers with its affordable prices. Now we have before us a professional medium-sized grinder, which costs less than its analogue from Bosch or Makita. The power of the tool is 1300 watts at 8.5 thousand revolutions. The parameters are optimal for this form factor, as is the weight of 3 kilograms. But the model does not please with its wealth of functionality. There is no soft start. Automatic stop too. The casing turns over only after unscrewing the fixing nut, which is not very convenient, especially since the handle is three-position. But servicing an angle grinder is very cheap. You can replace the brushes and lubricant yourself without contacting a service center.

Advantages and disadvantages

• High maintainability
• Easy access to internal modules
• Three handle positions

• No additional options
• Difficult to remove protective cover
