RIDGID VS MAKITA | 7" Angle Grinder Comparison

On day 1, I used our 4.5" angle grinder, but it was not quite up to the task, so I bought a 7" angle grinder to make the task go by more quickly. I wasn't planning on making a comparison video, but I gave the other option a chance when the first purchase failed. Let us know which one you prefer between the RIDGID and the Makita in the comments below. The two 7" inch versions that we reviewed in the video: Makita 7"- https://homedepot.sjv.io/c/2016026/45...
