[TheForge] 4 & 1/2" grinders

[dann at wctatel.net]

I like my little  machita 4 inch grinders, and also use two 4.5 dewalt
"good" side grinders, but for back up, I also run 3 of those blue "drill
master" brand Harbor Freight $10 grinders that I bought -on sale-, one
with a wire brush, one with a 4.5 inch cut off disk, and one with a 4.5
inch grinder disk. My HF blue - drill master- brand  grinders are coming
into their 2nd or 3rd year now, and I haven't burned one of them up yet. 
Sure saves time not having to change grinding disks to switch functions,
which doesn't tend to over work the individual grinder. Also for $30, I
have 3 sets of grinder - wrenches - to use and to place on a couple
locations around the shop.
