Good and inexpensive

Not every inexpensive angle grinder is bad, and not every solid angle grinder is expensive. The creators of Hitachi G18ST managed to make a good tool, which at the same time remains affordable (this model costs only a little more than the usual "Chinese" equipment from unknown brands, which can be bought in the regional centre at the bazaar). Despite the low price, Hitachi has decent performance and decent quality.

Simple and proven solutions

A fairly compact 2000 W electric motor is hidden inside the case, which develops up to 8500 rpm at idle. Therefore, the angle grinder, equipped with the appropriate discs, wheels and brushes, does an excellent job with most cutting, grinding and grinding jobs. Thanks to a good cooling system, the motor can work for a long time without interruption, and high-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 does not belong to small devices, but it fits well in the hand and is comfortable to use. The start key has an enlarged size, so it is convenient to press it in any position of the palm. The good ergonomics of this model is noted not only by ordinary users, but also by specialists in the field of industrial design (in 2015, the Hitachi G18ST design was awarded the prestigious iF design awards).

Good choice for thrifty shoppers

The Angle grinder Hitachi G18ST, like other angle grinders of this brand, can be safely recommended for purchase to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive and reliable tool. Hitachi equipment has a good reputation and a wide service network throughout the country, so it usually does not cause problems during operation.
