HITACHI G12SR3-E4 MEULEUSE ANGULAIRE 115mm 730W 220V
How much does a Hitachi grinder weigh?
For as powerful a tool as this is, it felt light in the hands compared to some of the competition. Though Hitachi claims the grinder weighs only 3.1 pounds, we actually found it to come in at 4 pounds 3 ounces – and that was without the handle and wheel guard. It still felt light to us.

We then started by cutting out patterns in hardiboard, which made for incredibly fast results that would have taken much longer (and been more difficult) with a jigsaw and masonry blade. We had done some comparisons with the angle grinder, a circular saw, and a miter
Conclusion
The angle grinder really seemed to be a one-stop shop for many applications throughout many of our in-house test projects – which is why it’s one of our “mandatory” handyman tool suggestions for those looking to equip themselves for multiple projects around the house. We found the Hitachi G12SR3 4-1/2 inch 6 amp angle grinder to be an easy to use t
