I've always thought of it as a sin to let a tool get that bad.

Like it a lot she is quite a power horse lol around 2.5 HP gives ya a work out if your using it for long I also have two other makitas too . one 4 inch that I have had for 2 1/2 years and love very lightweight and versatile and a 5 inch that I have owned for about a year it has sjs and a eletric brake sjs is super joint system aka it has a spring behind the gear that is directly attached with a motor and moves if you put more pressure. My grandpa , uncle , father still have their 4 inch makitas I have cleaned and decreased and I really liked how they held up so I am on the teal train lol ps their grinders are about 25 years old maybe 30 still going strong
