The Makita 9557PB is a corded 4-1/2 inch angle grinder with a 7.5 amp motor that spins at 11,000 rpm. It weighs 4.5 lb and has a slim 2-1/2 inch barrel, a large paddle switch with lock-on, and a tool-less wheel guard. Labyrinth seals and zig-zag armature varnish protect the motor from dust, and an all-ball-bearing design with a metal gear housing adds durability. It suits metalworkers, welders and fabricators who want a light, tough grinder for cutting and grinding; against variable-speed and higher-amp grinders it trades speed control and raw torque for low weight and simple handling.
