Metabo HPT G12SR4 4-1/2 in. 6.2 A Slide Switch Corded Angle Grinder

PTR frames it as the range's most budget-friendly pick at $39, bundled with five abrasives and a carrying case, and lists the manufacturer specs (980W, 10,000 RPM, 4 lbs). No outlet published tester-measured performance data. (1 sourced review.)

Praised: Range's most budget-friendly pick at $39, bundled with five abrasives and a carrying case.
