NEW MAKITA CORDED ANGLE GRINDERS WITH 15-AMP POWER

New Grinders Give Users More Power, Longer Gear Life, and Increased Comfort

February 23, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools and accessories, has released five corded angle grinders featuring 15 AMP motors, tool-less guard adjustments, and spiral gears for more efficient transfer of power. All the grinders released feature rear handle power switches that require two-actions to start the grinder.

“Makita offers over 60 different grinders that are either cordless or corded that are all engineered for performance and long life,” Said Rufus Richardson, senior product manager, commercial power tools, Makita U.S.A. Inc., “This deep system gives users unmatched choices for almost any applications.”

Corded Angle Grinders

Makita has been a leader in the metalworking industry and offers solutions to both site managers and sub-contractors to ensure proper tool operation, as well as keeping OSHA compliant. One way that can be achieved is to ensure the use of angle grinders that include power switches that require the user to engage a lock before start up, a feature that prevents the tool from continuous operation once the switch is disengaged.
