I really like the grinder and x-lock. I agree they're probably pushing these out because x-lock...promoting their standard and hopefully not dumping it! I'm not going through a ton of discs so the trade-off for cost on those vs convenience is worth it to me. It would be nice if it was variable speed. And to those wondering about the switch, it is spring loaded and doesn't lock on by default but it can happen unintentionally.
.
but for home owners that don't use it much, then disc price should not be an issue. tradesman like this up on a ladder using just one tool and changing disks. i like mine, but finding one for 24 bucks prolly not gonna happen too soon.
.
Makita is playing a marketing game, get their X-lock tool out there and sell disks. works for me if you need a cordless grinder.
