Additionally, the machines are designed with portability in mind. Despite their solid build, they come with mobility features such as built-in wheels and handles, making it convenient to move them around the workshop or transport them to different job sites. The compact design fits well into smaller spaces without compromising on function.

Another notable characteristic is the availability of aftermarket accessories, which can enhance functionality further. Users can customize their G1018 models with additional attachments that increase their versatility, allowing them to tackle more complex tasks.
