Great reveiw! Its nice to see it from a fabricator who actually uses the shit out of grinders.

I've heard that you can grease the gears and get more life out of those grinders. Thanks for demonstrating the incorrect way to cut metal at the end. That'll leave a mark.

An interesting if not perhaps scientific test. I think these things are much of a muchness. I have one which cost £16 - about 20$ and have no complaints. On the other hand I notice in the blurb above that it's an angel grinder... the mind boggles.

great review. I love that you go right into the work. cuz you're right that still means shit. some of the really bargain ones have amazing stats but then they burn out in no time. real world testing is what a real review should be. and I just quoting stats without any work. great job. I'm buying one just based on this recommendation.

If you notice while in the store, say this particular grinder may have different item numbers on box but it is exact same product is bcoz HF will use different suppliers/companies that decide what accessories they want to put in the box. That's why you might get a spanner and might not. If you want a spanner take grinder back and take note of your item# on your box and look for one with a different item # and open it up, you'll probably find a spanner wrench inside bcoz it came from a different supplier that adds that in as an accessory. Hope this helps 👍👍

So an interesting thing I just noticed about Bauer is they don’t have that distinguishing item no on them. However look on the square sticker on the top and it will have two numbers and a letter (18i) or (21 something), for this grinder specifically. They’re getting crafty trying to hide it. It’s also listed on the front page of manual.

I might have to give one of those a try. I've gone through three grinders in the last year of building my 51 Ford. The last one I bought was a Porter-Cable because I thought maybe it would last a long time. It burn up quicker than the hyper tough from Walmart and the cheap Harbor Freight Chicago electric or whatever it was
