What do you all recommend? Main uses will be knocking off rust to get to metal, cutting metal, smoothing welds. Small enough to fit in tight spots. Electric power source. Thanks,

I have a nice DeWalt 4.5" grinder. Its the second DeWalt I've owned. The first lasted for 6 years of complete abuse, and I hope this one will last as long. At one time I had a HF grinder. It was one of the $12 cheapies, and lasted only a few weeks. I completely agree with Gint; its not worth it to me to have tools fail in the middle of a project so if you have only 1 grinder go buy a relatively nice one. They aren't too expensive.
I used a friends Riobi (sp?) and liked that too; though not as much as the new DeWalt with quickchange arbor. The quickchange feature is awesome! |
