A Makita 4 inch A/C powered Grinder. These are much more powerful,
easier to control, don't have to wait for pressure to build up,
etc. I picked mine up for about $60, the same price as a good
air tool. I use it for grinding and wire-brushing. I've
got both disc and cup versions of wire brushs, and found both
to be extremely good. Removes rust, even in pitted spots,
paint, etc, etc, etc.
