Reliable and Affordable

Not every affordable grinder is bad, and not every reliable angle grinder is expensive. The creators of the Hitachi G18ST managed to create a good tool that remains accessible (this model costs just a little more than ordinary "Chinese" equipment from unknown brands, which you can buy at a district market). Despite the low price, the Hitachi boasts decent features and respectable quality.

Simple and Proven Solutions

Inside the casing is a fairly compact electric motor with a power of 2000 W, which develops up to 8500 rpm in idle mode. Therefore, the angle grinder, equipped with the appropriate discs, wheels, and brushes, copes well with most cutting, cleaning, and grinding tasks. Thanks to a good cooling system, the motor can work for long periods without breaks, and quality seals on the shafts and bearings protect the friction units from dust and dirt.

In terms of weight (4.9 kg) and size (469 mm in length), the tool is not considered small, but it fits well in the hand and is comfortable to use. The trigger switch is larger in size, so it is easy to press in any hand position. The good ergonomics of this model are noted not only by regular users but also by specialists in the field of industrial design (in 2015, the design of the Hitachi G18ST was awarded the prestigious iF design awards).

A Good Choice for Thrifty Buyers

The Hitachi G18ST grinder, like other angle grinders of this brand, can be confidently recommended for purchase to anyone looking for an affordable and reliable tool. Hitachi equipment has a good reputation and a wide service network nationwide, so it usually does not cause problems during operation.
