I have GSB 10RE and it has been very useful for all DIY at home.
Yes, it needs longer time to drill concrete walls, but how often do you need to do that for own house? and it have all the time and no rush to do that at home...

Yes, for contractors, time is money. So they need powerful hammer drill to do the job quickly and move on to next project.

I have seen contract workers using angle grinder without protection and cut their fingers off and also blind after the blade chip off.
So don't play play with angle grinder...it's a disaster awaiting to happen if not handle properly.

Why not buy from MrDIY? It comes with a set of different sizes.

Anyone here has Bosch X-lock GWX 17-125ci angle grinder?

Worth to get it or not?

Thanks for the feedback. I think I will go for x-lock option as I am one lazy dude
And I don't have to worry about having a jam disc on it.

So far I heard they have stress test this x-lock mechanism which will not have issue with slippage.

Bosch X-lock angle grinder is backward compatible to use normal disc also.

Oops, correction. It's the other way round.
Okay, im going for Bosch GWS 17-125CI

Problem is I wanted to get Bosch GWS 17-125 CIE which has the speed control dial at the back of the handle.

Anyone here knows where I can get it? Shopee and Lazada tak lak...

Where got sell?

Oh, I just found a place buy it!

I need the variable speed so that I can use it to also scrub my bathroom floor tiles that has lots of stubborn ugly water stains.

I tried that method in my previous house toilet, i f*cked it up, that acid thing eat thru the cement grouts and cause severe water leaks.
And also using the wire brushed also killed my toilet tiles as it's too harsh for the tiles until it create lots of deep scratches that is no way to remove them. So end up I sold that house.

Ok, bought the Bosch GWX 18V. No turning back now...

washer.

I just received my Bosch GWX 18V angle grinder and firsts time using it and found out that angle grinder is actually the most dangerous power tools. The kickback can really hurt a person badly. So now I am a bit worry of using it...

So I am thinking to scrap this DIY and just take this as my expensive lesson of buying such power tool and not dare to use it.

I am going to plan to sell it off but not right now. I will keep it for some time first. (Maybe after some time, my guts are back and I dare to use it...LoL)

For now, I just get myself plenty of PPE to standby first.

I just found a buyer to buy my Bosch GWX 18v angle grinder.
Phew....what a relief.

Now I bought another angle grinder which has the variable speed, Bosch GWS 900-100s for much cheaper price.

Can I ask if anyone here bought this unit? Is it good?

I am going to use it to do alot of woodworking (DIY furnitures).
And also I need to cut some tiles.

Yes, you are right about the use of grinder is far lesser than those ppl who use it as their daily work. But I choose GWS900-100S for it's durability and it's form factor. The thickness of it is much thinner than GWS060, right? So it will have better grip and less fatigue for long usage. And the main thing is that it has the option to control the speed, which GWS060 doesn't have. I can use it to do sanding of rust on my gates and awning next time. I can also use it to do some basic wax and polishing of my cars. The next good thing about GWS900-100S is that it is also have a slow start, so it won't jolt when switching on and also the safe restart feature.

I think most of the ppl also agree that Bosch spare parts are cheap and easily available to buy online such as carbon brush, amature, flanges, guards, anti-vibration handle, bearings, gears etc. So this is also another reason I choose Bosch brand.

Guess the only option for me to polish the car is using my trusty WORX WU-130.

I have a dilemma here on choosing the right cutting disc for my grinder.
I saw this in Shopee, which can use for many applications, cutting plastic, cutting wood, cutting concrete, cutting plaster etc.
Carbide Multi Wheel

Is this disc reliable?
Or should I get a dedicated cutting disc for cutting specific material?
