Heck yes. Best way to remove padlocks and corroded toilet bolts, and a million other things. --107.141.xx.xxx

I got mine at Harbor Freight. Great tool and less than $15.00 plus grinding wheels. If you use every week I would probably buy a name brand tool. --99.23.xxx.x

"You need the right tool for the job". Always an excuse to buy a new tool. --108.4.xxx.xx

Left handed or right handed model ? --184.53.x.xxx

My biggest regret in buying my personal residence is that I didn't get one with a 2 car garage. I have so many tools in there now it's filling up. --72.188.xxx.xxx

Harbor Freight for the win. I had to cut off a badly rusted cast iron toilet flange. I bought 3 Harbor Freight angle grinders and burned out one doing the job. So cheap they are disposable :-) --96.234.xxx.xxx

Harbor Freight tools are cheap and cheaply made. What I usually do is buy tools there that I’m not sure how much I will use them. If I wind up using them quite a bit then when that one quits I will buy a name brand. --70.178.x.xx

There's a harbor freight here (never been there before). Went there and got one today...watching safety videos on using one now. Thanks. --72.188.xxx.xxx

For once a year use, get a cheap HF store grinder, it can do almost what a Makita would do, for much less money. Another advantage: nobody would steal it. --99.59.x.xxx

Most of the power tools they sell at H F store do not have UL or CSA safety rating which means those power tools are lowest standard regarding electrical safety. Name brand power tools will always have a safety rating regarding wire, switch assemblies and so on. Countries like China have no electrical safety rating. Many internet sites it is always possible to buy used power tools for a reasonable price. Even if the power tool is only used once a year it saves the day. Sometimes they have power tools at different Habitat for Humanity restores for sale where some are display models. --147.194.xxx.xx

I love tools. Angle grinders are very useful. If you do go with air, make sure you check how many cfm's it uses and that your air compressor can keep up. Air grinders and DA sanders require a lot of air and a lot of small compressors can not keep up. Electric ones are quieter too but air tools are great to if you provide enough air cfm(cubic feet per minute). --73.120.xx.xxx

Don't get confused. There are angle grinders for grinding and cutting metal and cement. And there's the painters angle sander to remove coats of paint. Which ones do you need? And they also sell vacuum shields to capture lead paint chips and dust -- using a HEPA vacuum with filers. --47.156.xx.xx

I bought an electric one but I may have to buy a compressor as well in the near future because I need to get a brad nailer or finish nailer as well to use on trim and I'll need a compressor for that tool. --72.188.xxx.xxx

Just always remember when buying air tools to look at the cfms and make sure your compressor can keep up. Nailers should not usually be a problem but tools that use a large volume of air are if the compressor is not "big enough". --73.120.xx.xxx

RB [MI]: Many are ambidextrous where you can screw in the handle either side, and adjust the angle of the grinder wheel shield to either side. Even my Skil brand cheapie can be set up for either left or right handed use. --174.21.xxx.xxx

A harbor fright one in 4.5" is fine for corded but if you have any cordless tools consider the cordless version. They way you don't drag a cord to some obscure spot to cut a lock n such. Air is not required and Prolly not run well on a pancake --24.194.xx.xx

Tools to be used for a single job is what Harbor Freight was invented for. --68.156.xx.xx

You will not use it often, but when you need it - it is money well spent. --72.23.xxx.xx
