[TheForge] 1/2" electric hand drill

[Michael]

The Dewalt industrial grade 4-1/2" angle grinder is probably the best tool
they make. I have had one for over twenty years, and it never has let me
down. On the other hand, when I want to misuse an angle grinder (mounting
cup brushes, or grinding inside confined spaces where the airborne grit is
going to be heavy), I reach for a Harbor Freight Chicago brand ($18 on sale)
in order to spare the "good" grinder.

Despite the negative sentiments about DeWalt, I have three DW 4-1/2"
grinders that keep grinding away with no problems at all.  I usually keep a
cup brush on one, a flat disc on another, and a cut-off wheel on the third.

My recent Milwaulkee grinders ( i bought a couple) have been in
the shop 3 times each ( worked the guarantee) and only one still
runs. Ain't gonna make that mistake again...Pete F
