Good price wheels made soundly enough. Suitable for light/medium weight/duty. Good.
Simply a good wheel mounted on a good castor - not overly strong, certainly not too flimsy. Just the last bowl of porridge - perfect! For any medium duty medium weight use-cases I'd give them a try. I think I have three sets of these in use and all 150kg and all still work as advertised. Keen price, good service - would buy again!

Light & Powerful, a Total Pleasure to use!
My too-new MacAllister 125mm grinder needed the third repair after only light use. So I spent hours reading reviews and trawling the web looking for a reliable 125mm grinder. Photos of many current angle-grinders seem to show the same defects in the design as my problematic outgoing el-cheapo. My old 300mm grinder is great - but it is too big for most work.
Despite having a Makita drill-driver which I don't really like or rate (it can jump out of gear under heavy load) - this grinder sounded like it would be on par with the "bosch pro" wihch looked like a winner on paper. But there are loads of broken Bosch's for sale - which made me ponder about the mighty German's current production standards - and so I plumped for the Maktia paddle grinder... It came by Next Day! Oh yeah!
I love it. It is powerful enough (steel cutting and grinding) has a nice softish start - not too noisy, nice and light - with a super convenient power-switch-paddle-flap-handle. It has a ~2 meter power chord made out of a lovely soft very plyable silicone power lead. It is really nice to work with free hand. Push-button brake to change the disc plus a 13mm recess just incase. Amazing! After a few hours of light wrought iron work, it is still a dream to use.
My only concern is that it is so nice to use and the flap handle is so convenient that you can easily get a bit blasé when handling it. Leaps and bounds ahead of the typical dead-mans-handle these devices usually have. A bit like Homer Simpson driving the bed down the Motorway though... If you snatch it up you can strike the paddle and pick it up off the floor "on" when you just meant to pick it up.
I think if you stood/stumbled onto it too - you'd stand a chance of it powering up. So in a working environment with many hands, or hectic messy workplaces - I would be weary of it. Truthfully this is my only issue - I think they need to make the paddle-flap from a Hi-ViZ yellow/red plastic or something like that - so you can't forget/ignore/miss it. I think the paddle is a revolution - such an innovative thing - I have never encountered on any other tool - makes it sooooo usable.
In summary : It is a very dangerous tool made in a great way - I never used to like grinding before, But I can't put this thing down! If you have a nice grinding helmet and a pile of innox discs and you are away - maybe pick up a few paper masks too. With the all the safety gear Perfection. Great tool. Get some old welding gloves if you can be careless - mind your pinkies! Comes with a free Red INNOX grinding disc. Hope it lasts - I think it will! Brilliant. Well pleased.

Good but too long Two scribes in one is a bad idea.
1 of 1 found this helpful When I saw people complaining that the tool was too long I scoffed. PAH! When it arrived it looked great two scibes in one - for a bargain price. Used the plain edge to line-mark metals great.
A few days later I used it in the garden to mark the paint on the gate for drilling - and that was when I realised - the old boys were right... Humble pie. Holding it by the body and using the right-angled scribe all fine and dandy, next minute the straight edge was 1cm inside my palm.
So two-in-one for a scribe is a bad idea. It is too long. The unused end will probably bite into you at some point. Maybe I'm a butterfingers.. But I will be chopping it in half and fitting a new handle to one piece. I like it and do not regret buying it, but the others were right - integration was a bad idea it is too long.
