Very hard to keep the switch on and keep the grinder running. I do think it's a flaw in design. I returned the first one because of the switch but the 2nd one has the same problem. Thinking it might be operator error, we kept it and used it. Since we don't use it often, the warranty ran out and we could not return the tool. I need to call the company to get some feedback. The size is great for my small hands. Also the batteries don't hold a long charge. I use for Horse Hoof Trimming. I have 2 genuine batteries so I can switch them out while I work, if they get slow. The tool works but the switch is a pain to use. If I could, I would return this. Price is too high for the hassle with the switch Review: Great for Small Projects - As the conflicting evaluations start, the machines are only excellent if you indeed use them for small projects. The benefit of this machine is its small size; the disadvantage is that its small size makes it a poor choice for large projects where a full fine angle grinder is needed -- at least IMHO. For small projects it was terrific. I cut 24-high quality metal screws in a row quickly and easily on one charge without problem. ## Features - COMPACT GRINDER DESIGN: designed to make quick, difficult cuts in tight spaces other tools can't - OPTIMIZED GEAR STRUCTURE: produces 19,500 no-load rpm to cut threaded rod, strut, conduit, tile and more - ERGONOMIC BUILD: engineered to fit the palm of a user’s hand, for outstanding comfort and control - EFFICIENT BRUSHLESS MOTOR: maximizes battery runtime in extended applications - RESTART PROTECTION: helps prevent accidental tool startup when switching batteries - OVERLOAD PROTECTION: reduces the risk of the motor overloading or overheating - INNOVATIVE SPINDLE-LOCK DESIGN: provides fast wheel change, with a spindle-clip release - FAST BRAKING TIME: wheel stops in less than a second after the grinder is turned off - Bosch 12V Max cordless power tools are covered by a three year limited warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09LX43LC4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #219,847 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #276 in Power Angle Grinders | | Brand | Bosch | | Brand Name | Bosch | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 371 Reviews | | Included Components | (1) GWS12V-30 12V Max 3 In.

It’s really handy because it fits in very tight places where my Dewalt 20 V max grinder won’t fit. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSCH GWS12V-30N 12V Max Brushless 3 In.
