2. Bort BWS-905-R (from 2,2 thousand rubles)

Despite the fairly affordable price of this angle grinder for the home, it has a speed adjustment lever. In 2022, manufacturers of more expensive models often save on this feature, but the German company has not stinted on an additional mechanism. The angle grinder differs from its competitors in its thin body – only 19 centimeters. In reviews, buyers praise the device for this characteristic. It weighs a little less than two kilograms and, compared to others, it seems like a feather. Like other grinders in this class, it will take wood, ceramics and metal. The main thing is to choose a disk. Of the pluses, we highlight the spindle lock for quick tool changes, a comfortable grip and a casing to protect the operator. However, glasses are still better to wear. By the way, unlike the previous participant in our ranking of the best, here the casing is adjusted without a key. There are several ventilation holes on the case, heat is removed through them. Judging by the reviews, the thing is necessary, but not quite finalized, because there are many complaints about overheating during prolonged work. The declared power of 900 W is a worthy indicator.
