Dammn Good Die Grinder

Post by Roostius_Maximus »

I bought one a few months ago, and another today.
I had the same one for 10+ years i guess, and just needed another. the old one needs a bearing thats 1/2 the money of new.
I run a flow controll on it and keep it slow, carbides last longer, more controll, and the tool lasts.
CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP...

I got 2 snap-ons like that cost bank!!!! The one I use the most just had the front bearing go out on the extension??? It was $24. For sweetish or $5. For china bearings went sweed!!!!!

What I do like about the snap-on is the exhaust port at the rear has a adjustable plastic piece that turn 360' and comes out at. 90' so you can turn the exh away from your ear and shoulder makes it kinda nice
