    I figured out a long time ago if you buy them cheap tools like this, it has a tendency to stay around a little longer, because the thieves don't want to steal the cheap s#!t. Sad but true.

    For $17 it could save ur ass on a job if you only need it off an hour or so. It does serve a purpose. Lend that out instead of your good one.

    I don’t know why I expected this to be the type of grinder I use regularly for… recreational purposes… why would harbor freight sell one of those lmao😂

    I’ve owned one of these for 2 years. Mine burnt up so I grabbed one because it was cheap. Not expecting it to last long. She’s still going strong!! Now I did pull the head open and cleaned all that greese out then replaced it with some good stuff. And I have worked the shit out of this thing!! I Run 7in metal cut wheels meant for circular saws. And she’s yet let out the magic smoke.

    A guard actually saved my ass one time when a cutting disc decided to explode after I pushed a bit too hard and it snagged. That thing has embedded a chunk into the wooden bench and left an impressive scratch on the inside of the guard with the rest. It was a moment when you stop the tool, look at the leftovers then just sit for a few minutes and think about life.

    I have 4 of the cheapest $10 ones from freight. So I don't have to swap wheels for cutting, grinding, sanding. They don't die. I beat them beyond reason just punish em' I cut daily for years now, 1/2 plate steel, unbelievable they can't be killed (4.3amp ones) worth all 1000 pennies.💯👍😎

    Your final statement is something I have said "ALOT" or "how the eff did they do that?" I went cheaper than Kinky Tire. // I got mine at Princess Auto. 4.2A 18 gage wire and taking it apart – I will wait until "I have to". Used very little on light stuff. I got a bigger machine from Trade School that holds an 8 or 10" blade to cut off pipes as it is not an angle grinder but straight through. all metal beast. You mentioned about always having a "guard." It don't got one so I got to look for that or make one Was going to take it apart like you did but that is work and I am not that interested now that I know what is inside it. My SUPERIOR brand "does have a lock switch." More the artsy fartsy tool for the artistic homey.
