Our take on the Skil 4-1/2in 7.5Amp Paddle Switch Angle Grinder

The Skil 4-1/2in angle grinder is a corded 120V tool with a 7.5A motor and a paddle switch. It runs standard 4-1/2 inch wheels and weighs about 6.1 lb, so it sits in the middle of the corded grinder class on weight. The paddle switch is the main draw: it lets you cut power by releasing your grip, which suits quick cut-off and grinding jobs. Against DeWalt, Makita and Bosch 4-1/2 inch grinders it gives up some power and refinement, but it covers the basics for occasional metalwork and home repair.

Questions and answers

Is this grinder good for cutting metal?
Yes, for light work like rebar, bolts and sheet metal with a 4-1/2 inch cut-off wheel. Thick steel and long continuous cuts will slow it down compared with a 10A or higher grinder.
Does it have a paddle switch or a slide switch?
This version has a paddle switch. You hold the paddle to run the tool and release it to stop, which many buyers prefer for safety.
Can I use standard 4-1/2 inch wheels?
Yes. It takes common 4-1/2 inch grinding and cut-off wheels with a 7/8 inch arbor, the same size most US grinders use.
Is it variable speed?
No. This model runs at a single speed, so it is not the best pick for polishing or work that needs slow RPM control.
Does it come with a guard and side handle?
Most versions ship with a wheel guard and a side handle. Check the box contents for the exact bundle before buying.
Is it too heavy for one-handed use?
At about 6.1 lb it is usable one-handed for short cuts, but two hands are safer for longer grinding and cutting.
Where is the Skil 4-1/2in 7.5Amp Paddle Switch Angle Grinder cheapest?
At JB Tools, for $50.61, as of our latest check.
