Need a new corded angle grinder with all the safety features, jobsite requirement. What’s the cheapest decent thing that meets all these requirements? I have an old Hilti that’s great, but no brake on it.

I’m suspecting it’s going to be one of the less-high-end Metabos but there’s a ton of models and the filters on the site don’t work well, and it would be great to get something cheaper.

- Dead man paddle switch
- Restart protection
- Kickback protection
- Brake
- No more than 6”, going to be used in tight spaces

From what I can tell you have to get up into the >$200 range before they start getting brakes, at least the Dewalt, Milwaukee I made a more superficial look

>>2795830
Yeah def would buy whatever used if possible. The Hilti was $50 at a pawnshop

Your employer should be providing the power tools if they have such stringent requirements.

If you have to have all those safety features you're better off with one of these instead

I just got one from harbor freight for $14, works great and cut my chicken wire in about 5 seconds. Worth every penny.

Those safety features are meaningless in the context of the consumer safety board and will soon need to be replaced with discstop(tm) technology from TTI masquerading as “sawstop”
Possession of older grinders without discstop(tm) technology will result in confiscation and distruction of the tool, and a federal felony with mandatory prison time.
