Overview
The Metabo G12VE2 is a corded angle grinder running on 120 volts at up to 8500 RPM, powered by a 1500 watt motor. It weighs 3.8 pounds, keeping it maneuverable for one-handed grinding and cutting tasks.
1500 watts is a substantial motor for an angle grinder in this weight class, and the VE in the model name typically signals variable electronic speed control in Metabo's lineup, letting the operator dial speed to the disc and material. Corded power means consistent output without battery limits.

- 1500 watt motor
- 3.8 pounds
Who it's for
Metal fabrication and grinding work near a power outlet suit this tool well, since sustained corded output matters more there than cordless convenience. It is not the pick for someone who needs to roam far from a plug.
Pros and cons
- 1500 watt motor for sustained power
- Corded operation avoids battery fade
- Light at 3.8 pounds for its power class
- Corded design ties it to an outlet and cord management
- No disc size specified in these details
Performance notes
The 1500 watt motor drives disc speed up to 8500 RPM, and corded 120 volt operation keeps that output constant regardless of runtime, unlike a battery pack that tapers as it drains. At 3.8 pounds the tool stays light enough for extended one-handed use.
