Bosch Professional Corded Angle Grinder GWS 7-115 (240V, 720W, incl. Auxiliary Handle, Backing Flange, Locking nut, Protective Guard, Two-Hole Spanner)

Good tool and equipment Used several times excellent, did the job would recommend

Probably the best grinder on the market in its class in my opinion. Lightweight, plenty of power, easy to hold because of its narrow body. My first one needed new brushes after 7 years before the bearings went after 11 years, this was with a few hours use each week grinding dusty materials.

The tool was bought to cut back some brick work, which it did quickly and easily with a Bosch diamond cutting disk (Bosch Professional 2608602191). I certainly don't doubt the ability of this device to cut or grind materials. It certainly seems to pack some power, much more so than bargain basement grinders I've used in the past. This grinder was much heavier than I expected. It would have been nice if it had a variable speed control. I wanted to pack it back into the box after I had used it as I don't expect to be using it again for a while. I couldn't get the guard removed and found it quite fiddly to put on originally. It would have been nice if the tool had arrived with a case like the Bosch Professional products I have previously purchased.

Great ergonomics, fits really well in the hand because of how slim it is, the switch falls to hand. Cant be beaten for power to weight, size and quality ratio. In the world of battery grinders, these are still lighter and better if you are doing any lengthy or intensive work and a fraction of the price Watch Dean Doherty repair video on youtube, his observations which count for a lot given he sees hundreds of machines in for repair. In case it's useful to anyone, all my other grinders are Makita and the guard on this Bosch is not compatible which I had sort of assumed. Other random observations - no soft start but NVR, 2.5m cable, H05 rather than H07 grade but still feels very flexible

Good, robust, well made piece of kit. hold it tight and wear gloves: it spins at 12000 rpm and you dont know if your disk will stand the strain.

Small but powerful. Easy to assemble from box with illustrations and well written English -language instructions and safety guide. However, I did find the black screw- in handle on the short side when watching to follow my line to cut. Will investigate an extension, if available. Do note that the new style locking lever (silver coloured, supplied in box) has TWO sizes of small rods to fit into the central hub when tightening the disc or changing it. Earlier models had just one set, so there was no doubt how it slotted into the sockets. Initially, I thought I'd been sent the wrong sized lever, but soon found it was made for different machines. As expected of Bosch, a decently made (even down to the protective guard, which is "lipped" ) power tool - unlike another make [whose name begins further down the alphabet] and from whom I've been trying to prise answers out of for TWO WEEKS.

Right tool. Right price for the quality Perfect for the DIY guy

Have been cutting and shaping tube recently for a welding project so thought I’d invest in a new angle grinder. Actually have this one set up with a cutting wheel and my old one with sanding / grinding discs. The main improvements I see with this one is that the nut holding on the blade is easier to remove which makes blade changing a whole lot easier, although it is still via a small, two pronged, spanner. Also the cowling gives better clearance. So, no issues so far, does the job and runs well.
