    it really depends on much u will be using the grinder and how hard.. will u be taking a lot of metal off ??? if so step up to a 6 inch grinder ,bosch or metabo ,german made,,their 4.5 grinders are mostly chinese,, still good though, the german ones(metabo) have advanced features, like Safety clutch,RPM maintainer,Auto balance,and more,again if your doing a LOT of grinding,anti-vibe is a good thing,,if u have small hands, the paddle or sliding switch models may be too big around, u can get rat tail grinders with a smaller handle,,plenty of good angle grinders used on E-bay..for light use but long term dependability the Dewalt 4.5 inch 28402 is great,(this grinder helped put dewalt on the map, they have probally made a million of them).a little heavy, plenty of power (10 amps), will last f decades under lite or moderate use,,my hands are average size, and can use the paddle switch and hold grinder just fine,but i only use it f short periods..cordless ??? only if u REALLY need it, the circular saw, reciprocating saw, and angle grinders just suckup the battery power,,and thin out your wallet,,they work great but only if u really need one like working in a attic or on a roof,or under a house,,,
