| I have a couple of the orange grinders, next step up that I use for light to moderate work and they are still going strong after ten or so years. Have seen reviews that drillmaster products were definitely cheaper quality. |

IF you blow the crud out of the brushes area, most grinders will last a very,very long time..... OK, everyone raise their hands IF you've done it.... hmm................. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

4.3 amps is a little grinder... light duty only...... as long as you USE it that way, $12. is a good buy. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Just got a new DeWalt. I had several HF grinders and used them hard to the point they burst into flames in my hand. That is a super deal!

I've done it a few times, but usually when I using it a lot and I need to cool it down so it doesn't "burst into flames" NOW THATS FUNNY !!------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| I have two harbor freight 4 1/2' angle grinders . been using them for 20 years. they are weaker than the 9' dewalt at the farm but have always worked well., I keep a cutting disk on one and grinding disk on the other. I liked the paddle switch on my mikita better but it wore out years ago. |

| I used one of the new grinders yesterday. It doesn’t sound real smooth. I took the gear cover off to check the grease. There was no grease on the gears and it had a screw just like what holds the gear cover on laying in the gear box.😂😂😂 I doubt this one will last very long. |

Thad YOU got lucky !! I've been trying to repair s Made in USA Kohler engine,that due to NO locktite, the case cover lifts off and ,well, the lower case cracks..... Your repair is a simple 50c dab of grease and 1/2hr of your time... mine is either a $800 shortblock and 2 days of my time or find a viable(cheaper) replacement ! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Yes , at worst case I’m out $19.00 for a grinder with a short life. It still doesn’t sound smooth but I’ll get all the miles out of it that I can. Had I not already removed the paddle switch safety, I’d return it for a new one. |

I got a flyer in my email, and it has a coupon for $9.99 for this grinder. It also has a 4 star rating (people prefer spontaneous combustion). At this price you can buy 2-3 for parts! Hurry while supply lasts! ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

OH,,OK,,Chask,,I thought you said you got the 7 amp model for the $10,,,whew.!!,, The 4.3 amp model is till a good grinder. Like ole Steve I think said it is a light duty grinder and if you use it that way,,it'll last you a long time,,I've got one I've had for bout 5 years and still works good,,!! I am a grinder freak as I have 4 HF ones from the 4.3 to their 7 amp I recently bought and I'll tell you for sure thet 7 amp is a HORSE,,!! I also have a Sears 7 amp, a 6 amp Maketa and another 7 amp grinder (green)I can't remember the brand. (It's a 6.9 amp Hitachi) It runs at way lower RPM but is hell for stout in the power torque dept. I use it with a grinding wheel cause it will flat eat up some bad wellding sl*g,,,,,

My concern is theft. I like low quality names so some will let them be thinking they can't sell'em. Didn't happen at the last break in though. They got over $2500 worth of stuff. And at 71 I don't need tools that last 30 years. |
