Metabo 5" Variable Speed Grinder – 13.5 amp - WEV15-125HT

The newest variable speed grinder from Metabo. This unit is extra powerful, featuring a 13.5 amp motor. Metabo grinders have an internal dust hub to extend the life of the armature. Metabo is the only brand that has a 3-year warranty on their grinders. The warranty is against defects in workmanship and materials, so it basically covers everything but maintenance items (like brushes), and abuse (like a cut cord). Any and all warranty claims are handled directly with Metabo through their authorized service centers.

These tools are built tough and we strongly recommend them to our stone fabricators who beat up on them the most. Not to be confused with other brands who have gone to Chinese manufacturing, this tool is made in Germany! It even displays that right on the box, they are that proud of it.
