Our take on the Avid Power 7.5 Amp 4-1/2 Inch Angle Grinder

The Avid Power 7.5 Amp 4-1/2 Inch Angle Grinder is a corded 120V grinder with a 900 W max-output motor and 12,000 RPM no-load speed, aimed at cutting and grinding metal, tile and masonry. It ships with an unusually full kit: two tool-free wheel guards, three cutting wheels, three 60-grit flap discs, a side handle and spare carbon brushes. The 7/8 in arbor and 5/8-11 threaded spindle fit common 4-1/2 in accessories. It is a budget-class tool; its latest best price is $49.99 at Lowe's as of November 3, near the low end of what this class of grinder sells for.

Best forHomeowners and DIYers doing occasional metal, tile or masonry cuttingBuyers who want wheels and flap discs included rather than bought separatelyLight fabrication, rust removal and weld cleanupA second grinder kept set up with a cutting wheel
Pros
  • 7.5 Amp, 900 W motor and 12,000 RPM are strong for a sub-$60 grinder
  • Two tool-free guards cover both cutting and grinding setups
  • Comes with three cutting wheels, three 60-grit flap discs and spare brushes
  • Raised spindle lock and slide switch with lock-on are easy to use
  • 5/8-11 spindle and 7/8 in arbor take standard 4-1/2 in accessories
  • Two-position rubber-wrapped side handle helps control
Cons
  • Corded 120V only, so no battery freedom
  • No variable speed, which limits work on plastics and fine finishing
  • 7.5 Amp class is below the 10-13 Amp grinders pros use for heavy continuous work
  • No case included
  • Avid Power is a smaller brand, so service and parts support are thinner than major tool brands

Questions and answers

Is the Avid Power 7.5 Amp angle grinder worth it?
For occasional cutting and grinding at home, yes. At $49.99 at Lowe's as of November 3, it costs little more than a bare grinder and includes wheels, flap discs and spare brushes. Pros doing daily heavy work should look at a 10-13 Amp grinder from a major brand.
Does it take standard 4-1/2 inch wheels?
Yes. It uses 4-1/2 in wheels with a 7/8 in arbor, and the 5/8-11 threaded spindle fits common grinding and cutting accessories. The two included guards are tool-free to swap.
Does it have variable speed?
No. It runs at a fixed 12,000 RPM no-load speed with a slide switch that has lock-on. For low-speed polishing or work in plastics, a variable-speed grinder is the better fit.
What comes in the box?
The grinder, two wheel guards, three cutting wheels, three 60-grit flap discs, one side handle and two carbon brushes. No carrying case is included.
Is it corded or cordless?
Corded, running on 120V household power. That means no battery to charge or replace, but you need an outlet and an extension cord rated for the load.
When is it cheapest?
Grinders in this class usually dip during fall and holiday tool sales and around Father's Day. Check the price history before buying; $49.99 at Lowe's as of November 3 is already near the low end for the class.
