I've wanted a METABO grinder for several years. When this flathead design became available, I could justify the expense. Lehigh Valley had the best price I could find so I bought here.
I've never owned a tool this well made. Its very large for a grinder but well balanced and easy to control. The flathead aspect does make it more functional in tighter spaces and will save you time in real world situations. Only issue I have is the cheap metal handle on lock nut broke, now requiring a pin spanning wrench to change wheels. LVA could also do a better job explaining the differences between the models. I had to refer back to the METABO website for specific features on each model.
