Guys:
After doing my first welding project at home I decided a 4 آ½ in grinder would be a good Idea. Having a welder and no grinder is like a pencil with no eraser. It works if you are real careful but it is difficult to fix mistakes. I did not want not spend a heap of money since this is not a tool I am earning a living with. On the other hand I did not want to waste my money on junk. I have had nothing but bad experiences with Ryobi and did not want to try Sum Slung Dung brand from Cheapo Depot, Harbor Freight or the like. When I worked in the steel fabrication shop DeWalt seemed to be the grinder of choice. Not the best but a good value and held up pretty well to extreme environment and daily wear and tear. So after a little midnight internet shopping in my underwear I discovered that DeWalt has some new and interesting offerings. These improved models have smaller heads for tight spaces and a rear discharge of cooling air. Also it is designed so wheels can be changed and the guard adjusted without tools. They have a three year warranty. I ended up buying the D28402K from Lowe’s. This grinder lists for $114 and sells for $89 –95 most places. Lowe’s price $59 also we got a 10 % discount for applying for a Lowe’s card so all said and done after paying the governor got it for $ 55. This seems like a good value for what I need. If I was looking for a truly professional tool I would have looked closer at the Metabo and Bosch. FYI
