has any one used one or got one or 2 or more?

I went to the store yesterday but they had none in stock so I was checking online for other stores then noticed it was available with free delivery.

I just ordered one because it is cheap has 3 year warranty and has variable speed control

Bargain in my book.

I have got two, never any problems and do the job, although in fairness more of a hobby use than heavy use but the 3 year warranty takes some beating.

 

[123hotchef]

exactly if they break due to heavy use they will replace them no questions asked usually

nice vid mate

 

[123hotchef]

ha ha have u worn the original ones out already? I bet the gears would wear out first huh?

No way is that your workshop floor.
For 2 good reasons.

1: it is visible.
2: It is visible.

To a lot they are the same reason.

But it is so important it has to be mentioned twice.

I grabbed two also. Only used one so far and they work fine. They don't like dusty conditions though (like chasing out old mortar) the triggers stick very quickly - a quick blast with the airline sorts that but I think I'll keep them for metal work (which they were bought for) in future.

ill just complain and get a new one if it goes wrong!

You could digitally manipulate the dates on them, not worth the paper they're written on

 

[123hotchef]

Ha ha they use thermal paper for the receipts and the writing disappears before 3 years is up too!

Plus when claiming they ask for a email with a scan or pic of the said receipt too, I guess one could alter them in photo shop if they were so inclined to do so

We have one. Fiver in the sale a couple of years ago. The soft start is a great feature and even at full price I think they are well worth the money. If anyone sees them going cheap, buy one, they are much nicer than the other c £15-20 cheap grinders you get at Argos and Homebase in my opinion. Even if you already have a decent grinder it's worth getting one as a second machine. You save a lot of time not having to switch between cutting discs and grinding discs if you have two on the go at once.

I have a few grinders the bosch one is my favourite but this one should be with me today or tomorrow (I will need to extend my grinder tree/stand now too)

8:OO am this morning, they were £4:99.
Price to clear.
Brought one. That left 1 left, as I was about to grab it some one dived in.
As we waited in line, he told me that the store will clear out the last week deals at low prices so they don't have to return them.
