The Metabo HPT WEP 17-150 Quick RT 6 in. 14.6 Amp Rat-Tail Angle Grinder is engineered for heavy-duty metal fabrication, weld preparation, and demanding industrial grinding and cutting applications. Featuring an ergonomic rat-tail design with a slim rear grip, this 6 in. grinder provides exceptional control, leverage, and maneuverability, particularly during overhead work or long operational shifts.

Powered by a high-output 14.6 Amp motor with patented dust protection and advanced cooling, the tool stands up to harsh jobsite environments while extending motor and carbon brush service life. Integrated Tacho-Constamatic (TC) full-wave electronics maintain constant rotational speed under heavy load to deliver consistent material removal and high productivity. Comprehensive safety features include a non-locking paddle switch with quick-stop control, an S-Automatic torque-limiting clutch to minimize mechanical kickback if the disc binds, an electronic soft start for smooth power ramp-ups, and restart protection to prevent accidental activation following power interruptions.

Designed to streamline workflow and maximize jobsite convenience, the tool features the M-Quick keyless system for fast, tool-free disc changes at the press of a button. The twist-proof protective guard adjusts quickly without additional tools, while a rotatable gear housing can be re-positioned in 90-degree increments for left-handed use or optimal cutting angles. An included Metabo VibraTech (MVT) side handle dampens operational vibration to reduce operator fatigue during extended use.
