ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to an angle grinder including an elongated handle body having front and rear portions. The handle body has a greater nominal width proximate the front portion than proximate the rear portion. A recessed hand grip portion is defined by the handle body between the front and rear handle portions. The recessed hand grip portion transitions inward to a nominal girth that is smaller than the girth of both the front and rear portions. The recessed hand grip portion also includes a leading front wall that transitions from the smaller nominal girth of the grip portion toward the larger nominal girth of the front portion. The leading front wall is aligned at an angle that slopes in a forward direction as the leading front wall extends from the top side toward the bottom side of the handle body. The disclosure also relates to an angle grinder having a switch paddle pivotally connected to a handle. The switch paddle is sized and shaped to fit within a recess defied by the handle so as to form an integral part of the handle. The disclosure further relates to an angle grinder having a switch paddle equipped with an intermediate finger stop protrusion sized for supporting a user's finger.
