why not to buy discount tools

[bigmack]

I have a Dewalt, it's about 4-5 years old and it has worked great.

My $17 HF 4.5" grinder has been doing fine for the last 2 years. I've basically built my truck with it. Been through approximately 35 1/4" grinding wheels (I'm on my 4th box of 10) and 17 cutting wheels (second pack almost gone). I guess this is a YMMV...

I swear by my Milwaukee. It has a 8 amp motor and it is difficult to bog it down. I know a guy who buys them, takes the guard off, and runs 9" wheels on them. They last him over a year of all day every day abuse in his fab shop.

I used a Porter Cable sawzall to cut the large lip off, and then my Milwaukee 4" grinder to smooth it all out. Took about an hour or so, I gave the tools frequent rests and kept oil on the sawzall blades. Looks good!
