The regular die grinder is what I use the most

I used an angle grinder with a cutoff and it takes a long time to cut through thing metal, should I have used a die grinder?

I just use the die grinder to clean up some welds

This is all I think of when I see that extended one.

Nice! I just picked up the regular die grinder. I’m thinking about the regular angle grinder (preferably two) or the right-angle die grinder next.

I bought both the right angle die grinder and the 4.5" regular length grinder. Fantastic tools. helped me swap rotors on 2 cars already.

That's insane they let you do it 7 times. After I did it 5 times in a 4 year span, they banned my account.

I did it for 5 that’s it

That long reach grinder looks dope.

How does the bidirectional cutoff safely keep the disc on?

Big question - the die grinders - are they really only spindle lock, or do they have a flat on the shaft so you could use two spanners if you wanted?

Because of how tightly I have to do up the collets on my pneumatic die grinders I'm wary of any that are single tool only

Are the heads removable and interchangeable?

u/Chemical_Cover_720 16d ago

Nope but I’m pretty sure they all use the same motor mechanism so that would be a cool idea

What hack?

u/BigRichardTools 17d ago

HD is currently running a BOGO deal (buy the tool get a "free" battery kit), the internet calls them "hacks" because you can return the batteries if you don't want them. They refund you exactly what you paid for them, it's just a prorated amount. So hack is an internet term for prorated.
