Home improvement strength recommendation, does the family need an angle grinder?

In daily home life, you will always encounter some places that need to be installed or repaired by yourself. Often the most troublesome thing at this time is the lack of tools. For a smart door lock that I bought myself some time ago, because it does not include installation, you need to do it yourself. During the installation process, the plug equipped is larger than the width of the door, and it needs to be cut to an appropriate length. But ordinary tools at home can't cut such high-strength metallic materials. Fortunately, a WORKSITE angle grinder was prepared before that, which can be regarded as a big use this time.

WORKSITE angle grinder is suitable for polishing the surface of objects, including wood or metal materials. Secondly, it can also cut metal surfaces such as high hardware. It has multiple functions and rich functions.

Below, we will bring you specific evaluations from the aspects of product unpacking, usage, and actual use of the scene.

Out of the box

For angle grinders, there are few people equipped in most homes, mainly considering the safety of operation, so when it comes to the need to use angle grinders and other equipment, most people will still find professionals. So this time, let's open the box first and take a look at the product details to see if the WORKSITE angle grinder with industry-level standards can be fully qualified for home use.

As for the packaging box, the WORKSITE angle grinder uses a green background, with a little yellow as an embellishment, which can highlight part of the main data information and activate the color of the entire packaging. In terms of information, the brand of the product, as well as the model and some parameters of the 51311 product can be seen on the packaging box. For example, the motor power is 800W and the size of the grinding wheel is 100mm.

Open the box, the accessories included are: an angle grinder, a protective cover, a pressure plate, instructions and a certificate.

WORKSITE angle grinder adopts the same color as the main color of the brand. The handle is green, and the protective shell at the upper rotation is gray. In addition, on the side of the fuselage, the prominent "SATA" three-dimensional logo is eye-catching.

Located on the symmetrical side of the fuselage, the basic information of the WORKSITE angle grinder is affixed, including the support of 220V-/50Hz AC voltage, the power of the whole machine is 800W, the rated speed is 12500r/min and other parameters.

In order to reduce the high heat caused during the operation of the equipment, wind guide channels are arranged at the front and end of the fuselage to increase the overall service life of the equipment during long-term operation.

As the core component of the whole equipment, the WORKSITE angle grinder adopts high-quality steel cast gears and is equipped with an alloy box cover, which is not only strong but also wear-resistant and heat-resistant, which can effectively protect the service life of the inner core.

For the design of the whole body, the WORKSITE angle grinder follows the ergonomic design. The whole machine weighs 1.8Kg. At the same time, the upper end of the body is slightly wider and the lower end is slightly narrower, which is more conducive to one-handed holding during use.

From the overall appearance design, the WORKSITE angle grinder has solved some of the problems existing in the grinder from the aspects of mechanics and heat. And through the selection of as many as 49 kinds of high-quality components, it is not only easy to use but also safe during use.

Install using

In daily use, I believe that most people, like me, may still be in contact with a sander for the first time. When using it, we need to follow certain steps to use it.

Step 1: Install the protective cover; when installing the protective cover, you need to match the protruding part of the protective cover hoop with the groove on the gear box cover, then rotate the protective cover counterclockwise to the working position, and finally tighten it firmly Screw.

Step 2: Install the grinding wheel or cutting disc; during installation, check whether the upper flange is in good contact with the contact surface of the grinding disc, and tighten it with a wrench.

The above is the installation of the grinding disc, with the frosted side facing outwards. During operation, the grinding disc and the surface of the object need to maintain an angle of about 15 degrees, and move it back and forth gently to achieve the best polishing state. And for the switching between the two use states, whether it is a cutting blade or a frosting blade, the entire replacement process is very simple, which also speeds up the convenience of operation.

The third step: After completing the above installation, the next step is to power on and turn on the power. The power switch of the WORKSITE grinder is located at the bottom of the device. Unlike the push button, this time the WORKSITE angle grinder uses a push rod switch key, which makes it easier to pinpoint the position when the machine is turned on and off. This is also a deeper feeling in use. A little bit.

Scene use

Through the appearance and use steps, the next step is the actual product use. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the WORKSITE angle grinder can be used for multiple purposes, cutting or grinding. For example, in the following home life, the cutting and polishing scenes involved.

This is when the smart lock was installed in the home a few days ago, it was necessary to cut the too long plug. Using the WORKSITE angle grinder can be done in one step, cutting first and then grinding.

After cutting, there will be some burrs and fine protrusions on the edge of the plug. The above is to further polish after the cutting is completed. At this time, the WORKSITE angle grinder can be in place in one step.

In order to further prove its industrial-grade standards, I deliberately took it to the construction site to cut some heavy metal materials. You can see that the cutting is sharp and smooth during use.

In addition to removing burrs and dealing with some rust polishing, the WORKSITE angle grinder can also easily deal with it. From the actual dynamic picture above, you can see that on the rusty iron block, the place treated with the WORKSITE angle grinder is completely new, there is no trace of rust before, and the polishing effect is very ideal.

to sum up

After a period of use, WORKSITE is indeed very popular in the manufacture of hand tools. Not only is it resistant to roughness, it is also just right in the control of mechanics. For this WORKSITE angle grinder, it solves the two major pain points of traditional angle grinders, one is heavy and the other is heat. Regarding the inconvenience caused by heavy operation, the whole body of the WORKSITE angle grinder is only 1.8Kg, and the bottom slender body improves the grip. In addition, wind guide channels are added at the upper and lower ends of the fuselage to prevent the fuselage from overheating. The overall industrial-grade workmanship standard, cut and throw two modes, can be used in multiple scenarios.
