Firestorm grinder died today

[kevin]

ive had em all, but the best is from a yard sale

i picked up a ryobi, dont know much about it cuz it was used but it really works great, seems to have higher rpm (seems to,) and it also feels to have more power, i was dissapointed with a milwakee i bought a few yrs. back, cord broke inside housing, warranty repair, nightmare,

Tri GAs (matheson) had a deal going where you bout 25 disks you got the grinder for free. Another part was you bought 100 you got the bigger grinder for free. But you had to buy steel grinding disks and I use more of the aluminum grinding type and they woulndn't make the change.

Sounds like a deal, butnot one in my area that I know of. Looked at a 10 amp today, maybe for Christmas.

3 1/2 months out of back surgery. Just starting to get back. The drill press at the shop still has rust on the table. The up side is I can work in it now.

Buy a Dewalt 4 1/2" 11 Amp grinder with a paddle switch if you want quality. Mine ahs been heavily abused and it still works perfect. I paid $85 for mine from Northern States Supply.
I dont know about everybody else, but I like having a paddle switch on mine grinders

Ditto! I used to have a B&D, then I really liked my Milwaukee. The new DeWalt's have a rubber like pad on the spindle which makes even the hardest jammed up disc easy to remove. I'll stick with it.
