Metabo GE710L Variable Speed Straight Die Grinder

Metabo GE710L Variable Speed Straight Die Grinder

We loved the old Metabo that was discontinued a while ago. Graham never finishes a project without using his, the variable speed means this machine has unparalleled versatility. The ultimate VARIABLE SPEED power unit for carving. BIG - POWERFUL AND PRACTICALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE. IF YOU EVER WEAR THIS ONE OUT WE'LL SEND YOU A MEDAL! Designed for professional industrial use where it's required for a machine to have a full duty cycle (will run eight hours a day every day).

Whilst the Makita GD0600 seems to be most popular for this type of machine we think that's just because it's cheap. This is however the S Class or Rolls Royce and makes the Makita look and feel like an old tired Ford. As RR' said, "the quality is still appreciated long after the price is forgotten". If you are a lover of quality tools you WILL love this smooth running super quiet machine.
