The best angle grinders for welders
The best angle grinders (also known as "flex" grinders) for welders in the Czech Republic in 2026 depend on the type of work — grinding welds, cutting metal, removing rust, or surface cleaning. Welders most often choose models with a 125 mm disc (versatile and easy to handle) or 230 mm for heavier tasks.
Based on reviews, tests, and user ratings (from Czech and international sources like Heureka, Alza, arecenze.cz, testy-spotrebicu.cz, and forums like Reddit/Welding), the top brands are:
- Metabo → Very popular among professional welders for extreme durability, low vibrations, and long lifespan (often called "the best for welding").
- Makita → Excellent price/performance ratio, reliable, lightweight, and ergonomic.
- Bosch → High-quality professional line (Professional), good dust protection and safety features.
- DeWalt and Milwaukee → Great cordless models for mobility on job sites.
- Narex → Czech brand with an excellent price/quality ratio, popular locally.
Recommended models for welders (available in the Czech Republic on Alza, Heureka, Mall.cz, etc.):
Metabo WEV 15-125 Quick – Top choice for professional welders (variable speed control, low vibrations, durable motor).
Makita GA5040C or GA9050R – Lightweight, powerful, ideal for grinding welds.
Bosch GWS 18V-10 (cordless) or GWS 22-230 JH (corded) – Reliable, with good safety features.
DeWalt DCG405 (cordless) or DWE4257 – Powerful, popular for mobility.
Milwaukee M18 series (cordless) – Strong brushless motors, great for long sessions.
Narex EBU 15-16 or cordless models – Good Czech alternative, affordably priced.
Selection tips:
- For welders, choose models with variable speed control (for fine grinding) and anti-restart protection (safety).
- Cordless models for fieldwork, corded for maximum power.
- Prices range from 2,000 CZK (hobby level) to 10,000+ CZK (professional).
- Always use protective gear — safety glasses, gloves, hearing protection!
