We bought one of those for work thinking that it’ll speed up some of the work that we’re normally doing with a 4.5″ DeWalt grinder (the strongest one, I can’t recall the model #).
Boy, was this a bad purchase!
Even at the slim price of only $83 that it currently goes for on sale at Lowes, it is such a completely worthless POS that it’s just pointless.
It cuts slower and extremely hard to keep accurate, it weighs double, vibrates like the mother.
The guard requires an allen key to adjust which is silly, the DeWalt piece has a much more convenient latch that makes it far quicker and easier to adjust and doesn’t require any tools.
The spindle lock is located in a way that makes it hard to hold as you’re trying to loosen the nut and the design of the dish shaped washer as a backer doesn’t make any sense as it warps the cutting wheel without even applying any real pressure on it…
I have a bunch of other Hitachi tools, nailers, impact drill and more which I’m very happy with but this is a huge disappointment.
Save your cash, don’t buy this tool.
