I bought it on Beru. Delivered quickly within 2 days. The angle grinder worked for 3 days, then did not turn on again. The Makita service center said - bring the warranty card with the original seal, because... No one sent it to me, I sent the product back to them by their partner PickPoint. I received confirmation from PickPoint that the goods have been delivered to Beru. Provided all documents, return statements, order confirmation, receipt from PickPoint for shipping costs. The result is that no one returned the money! A month has passed since the date of purchase. Conclusion - easy to buy, impossible to return!

The Japanese brand Makita has been pleasing craftsmen with high-quality power tools for more than a decade. Angle grinder GA5030 is not too powerful, but performant and hardy machine with an affordable price (about $60).

Lightweight and compact

The thin body, rubberized handle and light weight (1.8 kg) allow you to hold the machine with one hand without much effort, and use the second handle for intensive or long-term work. For even greater ease of use, its angle of inclination has been increased by 10 degrees in relation to the gearbox housing compared to previous Makita models.

What is enough?

Engine power 720 W, at first glance, it seems a little, but for most short-term operations with a small load, it is more than enough. The maximum number of shaft revolutions reaches 11000 rpm, but there is no adjustment. But there is a varnished protection of the armature and stator from dust and damage.

The compactness of the device, engine power and labyrinth design affected the noise level during operation — it is relatively low — 96 dB. In comparison, models with a motor of 850 watts and above are 7 to 10 dB louder.

Equipment

Model GA5030 is designed to work with discs with a diameter of 115 – 125 mm. The tool comes without anything, just in a cardboard box, but those who wish to purchase it along with a case, cutting wheels and even Makitov's branded cap can pay attention to the configuration options under the article numbers GA5030K, GA5030KSP3.

The compact and convenient angle grinder Makita GA5030, as, indeed, all brand products, offers an excellent balance of price and quality, so it will be indispensable for the needs of the home master.
