Previously, angle grinders had to be used at a specific angle, otherwise, the clamping nuts would scratch the surface hindering the quality of work. Now users can enjoy flat & smooth grinding, with reduced downtime and improved productivity with just one click, eliminating the need for re-work. The ergonomic compact and simple design makes it possible to work in tight spaces. X-LOCK is a secure and robust system that has been successfully tried under tough conditions passing all types of tests including practical, endurance, climatic and drop-test, among others.

In India, we have launched a corded GWX 17-125 with a 5" Wheel capacity and 1700W Motor Angle Grinder along with X-lock accessories which mainly covers 5" Grinding & Cutting Wheels, Flap disc, Diamond wheel and even wire brush. By 2022, we are planning to launch a cordless tool, GWX 18V-125, a 5" Angle grinder and tool which can be used with all X-lock accessories that are already available in the Indian market.
