Blades are normally interchangeable. The QR nuts are useful, so I'd buy one of those too.
I've never used a battery powered one, but even corded 4½" ones are fairly weighty. I haven't found a cord a hassle so far.
I got a makita one with a box on a deal which I'm happy with*. But if it's only occasional use (like mine) I'm not sure it's one of those items that you'd really feel loads of difference between cheap and expensive ones.
*bar the "always on" function of the power button requiring a knack to use
Edit this one now a bit more £s, but still a fair price:

Available cheaper elsewhere without the box

I'm pondering getting a cheapo angle grinder. Got a few paving slabs that need cutting and I need to add some channels to some window sills and a few other minor things.
What's the advantage of a mains powered one over something like a Ryobi (I already have ryobi batteries)? I'm not going to be spending loads of time cutting in one go.
Are blades interchangeable between models/brands or do you need to get specific ones? Anything else to look out for or should I just get a Titan one or whatever?
