It comes with:
(1) 9557PB angle grinder
(1) Side Handle Grip
(1) Type-27 guard
(1) Type-1 guard
(5) Makita Grinding Discs for steel/stainless
(1) Makita Diamond Blade
plus owner's manual and the case of course.
The case is aluminum with zinc coated hardware and latches. They should rust in no time. I spray nuts and bolts on floor jack and other zinc hardware to not rust, but I don't want to lube up these latches - I'd never be able to open the case. Oh well - better than a cardboard box.
The case has eggcrate foam on the lid and tougher rubberized foam with cut outs for the tools and individual cutouts for each disc. Great protection for fragile wheels. Another thing I like is that the lid does not fully open. It goes a little past vertical and stops preventing damage to lid after a thousand times of throwing the lid open and it hitting the floor.
This is my first Makita (M*lwaukee and R*dgid fan-boy here). It's a great value and works great. It ate through a Br*nks R70 disc-lock without blinking. Its small size allowed me to maneuver behind the weirdly shaped lock (enclosed hasp) butted up against a corner and melt through the lock one-handed. I have a 7-inch R*dg*d angle grinder that has waaay more power and lethality, but simply would not have been able to complete this job due to it's size. Another testament to having the right tool for the job. In this case, smaller is better. I'll admit it doesn't have the power of the big boys, but i'm not cutting through foundation or 2" plate. I'm also not melting extension cords or flipping breakers every few minutes.
The included grinding wheels can handle mild steel as well as stainless and hold up way better than the Horrible Freight discs. Included discs must be precision balanced because the tool runs so smooth with these. The brand-new grinder and small diameter probably has something to do with that.
It has paddle-switch operation (dead-man's) with lock-off and it can lock-on with a push button near base of paddle. Nice feature. Overall this grinder is definitely another great addition to my toolbox and wish I had it sooner. I might buy another one. It's a great tool and I would expect nothing less than the best from an industry leader in tool manufacturing.
I haven't switched teams from M*lwaukee yet, but this little gem has definitely grabbed my attention.
P.S. Wear a face shield if you like your vision. Safety glasses alone won't cut it. Wear both. With gloves and long sleeves.

What was in the aluminum case-
The grinder with the easy to operate rear switch, It came with 6 grinding disks and a metal diamond disk and gard for grinding cement.
The price difference between the Makita and the entry-level angle grinders is not very large. Given the potential for injury from a malfunctioning or underpowered tool, I would not experiment with a low-end model from a low-end brand. And I suggest you follow Makita's safety instructions. You can trust the grinder, but you can't be sure about the integrity of the materials that you are sanding or cutting. Chips or splinters can be thrown in any direction, at any time, and at a significant velocity.
This little grinder resolves all of those issues. It is very easy to maneuver in fairly tight spaces. It is also light weight so it won't fatigue the user. It is truly a joy to use!
The included accessories store nicely in the included well-built case. I love knowing that all my accessories for it, like the spindle wrench, the removable guard, and the variety of discs, are all kept in the handy case so I don't have to go looking for them every time I need to use the grinder.
The quality of the tool body, power cord, spindle and spindle wrench, and grinding discs are very high and it shows that the Makita brand is proud of their product. The grinding wheel guard is a bit flimsy, made from stamped metal, but it is certainly sufficient and light weight.
PRO: quality materials and craftsmanship, small, maneuverable, light weight, accessories, storage case.
CON: might be too small for large concrete or tile work
