Right angle die grinder?
I've been thinking about buying one of these for a while, but it seems that there's a ton of brands out there. There all right around 50-70 bucks, so is one better than the other? I want to buy one that will last and don't know which one.

my dewalt has been to hell and back, still running strong.

I am personally digging the craftsmen air die grinder.. are you looking for air or electric by chance?

I'm thinking air. I like the smaller grinding wheel they have, I think it would be perfect.
|
Ingersoll-Rand for air tools. Great quality tools.
|
I'm going to pick one up at harbor freight this weekend. It's like 6 bucks on sale LOL
|
OOPS! I was thinking angle....I do have a IR air die grinder, probably the handiest thing I've ever bought. GREAT for touching up stuff, making holes a bit bigger, etc. Totally worth spending some good money on also.
|
MAC sells nice ones, we have a couple.
|
Blue Point
|
I cant bash my harbor freight one, like $7 and is going on its 3rd year of strong service. Estimated 4-5 hours constant use per week...

Snap-on sir....only way to go....:headbang:
|
I bought an electric Milwaukee from Lowes for around the price you're wanting to spend and it's been good the two times I've needed to use it. I grinded off a shock mount on the radius arm on my lowered 97 Ranger after snapping off the bolt attempting to change shocks. I've also used it a couple times around the house for various projects.
|
IR nothing compares. they make the mac and snapon and they are rebadged.
|
like i already said blue point or snap on same difference
you will never have a problem ever you get what you pay for that is all |
hey uh VIC.....I worked for snap-on previously and their air-tools are NOT made by IR bud....now I will say there are some tool companies out there that MAKE better tools than what snap-on has, and is cheaper. But IR does not contract sell their die-grinder's with a snap-on badge slapped on it. Get your facts straight bud.

I've only had one failure between the brands I have bought. There is a bolt with a rubber o-ring on all of them. Its a phillips bit head on it. One came with a plastic bolt and it immediately leaked. The others had a brass bolt and I have not had a problem.
I'm not sure what purpose the bolt serves, but all of them have it. |
matco. all i buy now is matco tools. expensive yes but the warrenties and quaility is what sells me.

I have a napa one right now... had it for YEARS... but its starting to go bad... so my next one is a snap on....
If your looking for cheap, the harbor freight one is nice... kid at work bought one, with the waranty |
I have the harbor freight one. I can get about 10 for the price of a snap-on one, works for me.
|
ok well I have a Snap-on and a Bluepoint. And there are guys at my work that have IR's and they aren't the same. Not only on internals and on spec's RPM's and freespeed, but HP rating's as well.
|
I got a Makita. My favorite tool of all time.
It hurts when it hits you though. Wear gloves. |
