Cheap grinders

[Jim_gsxr1000]

Was in home base this morning, bought a couple of their budget angle grinders for £8.97 each ! Just in case anyone is passing, seemed cheap to me !

One of my B&Q ones died, think I will give up buying such tat.

Just reserved one, thanks. At that price it's a no-brainer and although I've already got 2 grinders, it'll be handy to have a cutting disc in one, a grinding wheel in one and a flap disc in the other.

Note to self: no more grinders.....

Yeh very same cheap as chips budget ones I already have 11 grinders but can't walk past a bargain

11 grinders and i thought i was bad with 9 only 2 are angle grinders though

To be fair I got given on of the crappy grey b&q grinders and the thing lasted ages, and I gave it some abuse

11,why?

Buy cheap, but twice in my experience. Been through loads of those cheap grinders and they are a false economy in my experience.

i second that been through so meany makes trying to find the one that ticks all the boxes i found that most lack in power im useing a 4.5" and a 5" hilti at the mo its a bit of a trade of between power and weight but i do like the 5" plenty of power and some trick power management thing in it that dips the power if you over do it

most grinders fail because people force them rather then let the disc do its work

get that metal cut NOW
