I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read kzbin.infoUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.

I just bought a "Parkside" grinder from Lidl (German supermarket chain). 125mm (5 inch) rat tail style, 1200W, quick adjust guard and speed control for 22.99€ after tax (that would be 21,13$ before tax). I don´t know if Lidl sells powertools in their US stores. I might take it apart and have a look, for the power it´s definitely very cheap, about half the price of nameless grinders with similar specs- I does come with a three year warranty wich is nice. Feels good, PA6-GF30 for the housing, the flex has a thermal plastic jacket though. These videos are very inspirational. EDIT: The Black&Decker seems to be a good offering for 20$. For some small stuff around the house or multiples for specialty attachments it´s good to have around. For everyday and professional use something a little better would be more like it.

The needle bearing is not a better solutiuon, beacuse it eats the shaft much faster then the brass busher. And the replacement of the the same it`s cheaper and easier then the whole shaft. But still, the best solution is a ball bearing. The bad quality grease and ball bearings, not protected field and armature - also telling us that this is not a tool for heavy use. It`s cheap chinese around home tool. In my opinion it`s better to double your dollars and bye some better quality small angle grinder like Makita`s for example, and have durable tool that will last you for a long time...

Normally, I'm a big champion for the value HF tools offer, but that guard is a dealbreaker. Paying the $10 extra for a guard that can be easily adjusted is worth it to save you time and more importantly, stop you from wanting to remove it completely. Just google for angle grinder accidents to see what happens when a cut off wheel spinning at tens of thousands of RPMs decides to come apart. That $10 guard could save you thousands in hospital bills.

I’ve got Vessel drivers as well. It’s interesting to note that they developed the JIS bit standard. The set I have is different. The tips are designed to properly fit both JIS and Phillips. They do work very well. I see that the B&D has the same wrench for the wheel lock as the HF model. I recently bought that HF model. Normally, I use both 7 and 11 amp DeWalt grinders. But last year, Jody from Welding Tips & Tricks showed an adapter for Roloc disks, which I bought. $15, and a great idea. So I can use them on an angle grinder in addition to my handpiece on my Fordoms. Problem is that they’re really too big, heavy and powerful for these 2” disks. The HF is perfect for that purpose. Small, light, and far more powerful for that use. The only complaint I have about the HF tool is the switch, you should talk about switches. The paddle switches are far better than any slide switch on an angle grinder. The paddles let one use at least two, and usually, three fingers to hold it closed. The grip is natural, as it’s the same you use to hold the tool. The little flip safety works very well so that you forget you’re using it after a short time. The push switch uses one finger, usually the thumb. It’s spring loaded for safety. But that spring is hard, and your thumb gets tired after a short while. Your hand also slips towards the rear of the tool, since you’re pushing the switch forwards. I don’t know how that BD switch feels. But the one from the HF is surprisingly tough to keep closed. I wouldn’t expect to see a paddle switch on a cheap tool, as they do cost more though. What does the BD weigh? One major reason I bought the HF for the Roloc was it weighs so little. But, this is the only grinder I took the guard off of. You don’t need it with Roloc disks, and the disk sticks out 4 inches anyway. That allows it to reach spots that you can only dream of with the 4.5” disks. You should try it.

I just acquired one of these, so found this very interesting and informative. I have a question... what type of cutting wheel were you using? was it a Type 1 or Type 27? (couldn't tell from the video). The reason I ask is that the manual says to NEVER use a Type 1 disc, and I have a bunch of them and no Type 7 cut off wheels.
@DFNUVS4 жыл бұрын
This grinder uses a type 27 disc. At 11,000 RPMs, the wrong disc could potentially become a very hazardous projectile. I’ve put a fabric cutter hexagonal blade on mine to add even greater risk. Ideally, the disc is sandwiched between the two flanges and has not moved yet. However, I have only used it once with that flat disc and I’m scared to use it again. 😅. Hope this helps...

The truth is that for someone at home, who might use the tool for 15 minutes a few times a year, any of these really cheap models will last for years. But don’t push any of them. Since they’re all underpowered, even though this BD is rated for 6.5 amps, having tried some cheap models like this one, I can say that they’re not nearly as powerful as my 7 amp DeWalts (or any high grade models from other manufacturers.). If you’re going to push them, they won’t last that long. I still have my first 7 amp DeWalt from over 20 years ago, and I do use it. The improved model today is only $60, and sometimes even less. I just bought two 11 amp models on sale from MSC Industrial for $69 each. So even top line grinders aren’t expensive, considering they’ll last a lot of people a lifetime, and work much better.

Just my 2 cents, this grinder compared to my 4.5" makita is terrible. The cheap cord alone is a reason to hate this thing. It's stiff, short and doesn't seem to want to lose the folded shape it came with out of the box. The switch is awful to use and seems to get stuck, or won't stay on when you want it. The gearbox much louder and sloppier sounding. It's not as comfortable to hold. If you're going to spend $20, just pony up a little extra and get a bosch or makita... or save your money and just get a $10 HF grinder which IMO is pretty much the same as this one.
