Engineered to the exact specifications of the original equipment, this handle ensures that your angle grinder maintains its structural integrity, ergonomic balance, and operational safety standards.

Whether performing routine maintenance or repairing a tool after a drop, this replacement handle restores the tactile feedback and control that professionals rely on for precision grinding and cutting tasks. Investing in OEM parts like the 48L049 is an investment in the reliability and performance consistency of your industrial equipment.
