Reply:Haha, there is a huge thread right now on cheap tools.  I'm really sad to see all these "quality" names going to third-world countries to make their products.  Very sad sign of the times.  Have a Jeep Cherokee?  Click Here!
Reply:Most tradesmen are willing to pay more for a quality name brand US made power tool.   Milwaukee and DeWalt have always been jobsite favorites.   It's really dumb of these companies to take their manufacturing to China when the customer base is willing to pay for US made quality.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op

Reply:I repair grinders and other tools for a vo-tech and like Metabo SIX inch 150 series grinders above all. No point in getting a 4.5 inch grinder when a 6 has the same size, more power, and takes 6" cutting wheels which have more surface speed and last much longer than 4.5s. I use 4.5 rocks for grinding along with worn 9" rocks small enough to fit the guard.Much love for this specific grinder:[ame]http://www.amazon.com/Metabo-WE14-150-600160420-6-Inch-Grinder/dp/B001CBXF44[/ame]These wheels work very well and are pretty durable They come in 4.5 too.http://www.airgas.com/browse/product...9&WT.svl=54969
Reply:I have a "older" made in usa milwaukee grinder i use at home, and i use a new metabo grinder at work. BOTH very good grinders. My matebo has been pushed hard and still runs like a champ (well soo has my milwaukee. I think ''if'' my milwaukee at home finally goes ill replace it with a metabo.Ya gotta spend money to make money!
