- I am in the market to finally purchase a right angle grinder for use in the restoration of my vehicles. It won't get the kind of usage a body shop would use, but I want a good one. The first decision

- I can't think of a single reason to use an air tool for home use. If you are planing on working in an explosive atmosphere, air might be a good deal. Then again, you will probably be making sparks wi

- I have and use both air and electric tools. On the hole I prefer the air tools. However, the biggest problem with an air tool is having a compressor. I have a oil type 5hp 30 gal compressor so that'

- I bought a HF 4" angle grinder for $19.95, and a knotted wire cup brush to use for paint and rust removal. The first real use I gave it was the other night, removing the asphalt sound deadener from m

- Good air tools are expensive and cheap ones don't last long. They also require lots of air to run properly, causing your compressor to run a lot. Think about what it costs to run that 5 hp compressor

- I bought a Habor Freight-type 4" grinder before the prices started dropping for about $35. (Now available for $20). It makes a lot more sense to me to run this little electric motor instead of churni

- I would also go with an electric one, I bought a HF for $19.99 and it was one of the most useful tools I have ever bought. Next time I'll get a better brand but stil I'll buy it from HF(free shipping
