Life is too short to use bad tools. I also had one of the HF grinders. Worked
fine. Sounded like a blender full of ball bearings. When I got a Makita
grinder
(at a police auction with a bunch of other tools) I was amazed at how much nicer
it was TO USE. Yes, they both worked, but oh the customer satisfaction.
Go for used, go for ebay, but don't get crappy electric tools. They just don't
feel as nice.
