Great Tool Jun 04, 2011 By John Talbot
I'm used to working tools hard and often being disappointed with the lack of durability.No fear the Makita 9557PBX is a work hoarse it doesn't get much more demanding than grinding granite. The hand grip is well placed and the trigger helps reduce hand fatigue overall the angle grinder lives up to the Makita Name.

No instructions on rotating grinding head Jun 11, 2011 By G. F. Langer
This grinder is terrific. It replaces a grinder from HF that I paid $10 for. Needless to say it is much, much better. I do have two gripes, however; one is that it is advertised that the head of it rotates, but there are no instructions on how to do it in the manual or the Makita web site. Second, the wrench for putting on and taking off the wheels is awkward to position and doesn't pop into place very easily. On the good side, its easy to handle, fairly quiet, powerful enough, and the case is great. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the absense of instructions for an advertised feature.

Worth Every Penny Oct 18, 2011 By JIM
I ordered this Makita to replace my Milwaukee which I found was very heavy and awkward to use.
I was surprised at the power and ease of handling the first time I used it. The fact that it comes
with 4- grinder discs, a diamond blade, the excellent case and a different shroud for using the
diamond blade plus a handle for a price that is unreal amazes me. Im a believer in Makita tools
and this should last for many years. Im disappointed in the fact that its made in China but have
to trust that Makita keeps a sharp eye on the QC end of it.

great value Oct 16, 2010 By Young 4 Ever
I was starting a block wall building project and needed something to cut the blocks with. Saw this and thought it could work. The price was great for what was provided grinder, disks and case for about what you would pay for the grinder alone. The smaller size made it easy to handle but did make some of the cuts more difficult. I used the cut-off blade primarily but the grinding wheels work fine as well. Bottom line it ended up being cheaper than rental equipment would have cost and I have a new tool for the work chest.
