Good deal on cutoff wheels, as well as other abrasive things.

These compare favorably to the pricey DeWalt ones I've used before, at much better cost.

ive had a milwaukee 4.5" for about 8 years and run it weekly for hours at a time. either using a wirewheel to remove rust/undercoating, cutting metal, grinding welds ect works amazing. ive droped it several times and even spilled brake fuild into the housing, still works great.

I've had the DeWalt's, Milwaukee's, Metabo's, and Craftsman...You will get what you pay for in a grinder. Metabo would be my first choice, then Milwaukee. I wouldn't look past that. I'm a tool and die maker by trade and bout a DeWalt and Metabo at the same time...I've been through 3 DeWalts and still cutting with the Metabo. Good thing the DeWalts were replaced with the Milwaukee's
