Who has either and why did you choose yours.

Bauer 8500 rpm $89

Hercules 6500 rpm $129

Both 15amp corded

Both 90 day limited warranty. Wouldn’t this negate Herc’s advantage since it’s not a 20V cordless system.

I’m leaning Bauer and extended counter warranty.

What am I missing and what benefit is there to spend $40 (or 50%) more on the blue housing?

Hey everyone!

I've moved a few walls in my basement which were nailed into the concrete ground. The nails were mostly cut through and flush with the concrete. A few have a bit of a jagged edge sticking out yet though. I've tried a few different techniques with tools I have on hand but no luck.

So I'm looking at a really cheap angle grinder from Harbor Freight. $10 cheap. Couldn't figure out hyperlink, sorry :(

I only need it for these like 2 nails (seriously 2) and then I have no idea when I would use it next. It just feels too cheap, too good to be true, even with great reviews... these nails are 1/4 diameter btw. So, what do y'all think?

I would like to repair my Mustang’s frame rail rot and shock tower rust. The standard procedure is to cut out the bad areas and weld in new patches from repair kits (it’s a rite of passage).

Should I get a cheap corded 4.5” angle grinder from Harbor Freight, spend more on a corded brand, or spend even more on a cordless brand? (I currently have the Milwaukee Fuel impacts and ratchets).

Anyone have experience with both of these? Thoughts on one vs the other?

I don't plan to use it a ton. I just have a couple of projects I need one for.

1. I need to level the concrete in my garage so I can put down an epoxy floor. This involves grinding down any little high spots and cleaning up any cracks before patching and putting down leveling cement.

2. I have a project off-roader I'm working on, and I need to cut out/grind down some rust.

I don't think either of these should be particularly hard on the tool, but I haven't really done either before. There are deals going for both brands over the next couple of weeks, so now seems like a good time to buy.

I have a 4-6 inch cordless DeWalt and it works great, but I need a 7 inch for a specific job (that I'll do once) and then it will serve as a plug in angle grinder for welding projects (cutting, grinding, polishing, deburring etc). I usually stick to DeWalt, but since battery compatibility isn't a Factor here, I'm willing to go to another brand if need be.
