Good morning, it’s Amazon Expedition Squad time.
Every time I think about it,
“Does Amazon get away with selling anything?”
There’s this suspicion, right? Actually, what’s the deal in Japan?
Consumers too, to some degree—quite a bit, really—“shop carefully and it’s fine,” that kind of vibe.
“As long as you can return it anytime, it’s okay,”
Well, there are a lot of things to be grateful for, though (；∀；)
I’m “Team Makita,” so I don’t really buy knockoff tools.
But
this knockoff (affectionately called “patchi-ta”) “for low-frequency use” might actually be “surprisingly worth it,” I think.
For work or projects where “you’re not going to use it hard,” but you want to get the job done conveniently.
Tools like drills and grinders, with “simple construction,” seem to handle it better, I think.
Included accessories
- Angle grinder body
- Lock nut wrench
- Handle
- Wheel guard
- Battery
- Charger
- Storage case
With the battery, charger, and body all included… oh, shocking?
Just 8,599 yen (tax included) (*´Д｀)
What’s really helpful about this thing is
“you can use it without owning Makita,” that’s the thing.
Yes, “battery and charger included,” so “you can start using it the same day.” *You’ll need a grinder blade, though.
If you try to buy a genuine Makita 18V,
the battery alone is “more expensive than this whole product.”
Yes, balance is what matters, I think.
After getting this kind of cheap product, you get the “more, more” feeling and end up buying genuine Makita batteries and chargers…
“Wouldn’t it have been better to just buy Makita in the first place?” That kind of thing tends to happen.
It’s a matter of balancing price and performance. Think it through carefully.
“Maximum RPM of 10,000” is clear from the product page, but “everything else is unclear.”
Most regular grinders “don’t have speed adjustment,” usually.
“Cordless, cheap, and adjustable” just that alone might be “amazing.”
Above all, “the benefits of cordless” are really huge.
• You can use it where there’s no power outlet
• No hassle with cords
• Tools stand upright = easier to organize
“Work efficiency definitely goes up,” I think.
So let’s keep reading everyone’s “beloved reviews” (or so I hope).
“Only people who really love tools and machines” should be reading these,
right? So long reviews are pretty helpful, I think.
The included battery doesn’t last long, so “think of it as a trial” kind of thing.
Performance seems solid.
Performance seems solid compared to 100V models.
There were quite a few comments about switch stiffness.
Sure enough, there are reviews mentioning the switch has some quirks.
Since it’s not a complex tool, there don’t seem to be any real issues.
The battery is compatible, but the charger is proprietary, apparently. Pretty niche, huh? That’s a bit of a bummer.
If you already own Makita batteries,
this set isn’t the way to go—“just the body” is the better choice.
As a grinder, it handles the basics just fine. Looks like a fun item to enjoy based on your current situation.
Overall, I’d say it’s “usable.” For casual
“DIY” where you’re not going to beat it up, it should deliver solid performance.
Or as a first grinder, it could be a good option too.

We use this “paddle-switch type” regularly.
