I got a new die grinder today (bottom one). My brother had given me
the top one (a Harbor Freight special) as a gift. Although the sentiment
was nice, it may be the worst tool I've ever encountered. It uses a ton
of air, but has almost no torque. The metal casing gets really cold after
using it for a few minutes. On top of that, the collet is supposed to
hold .250 inch shank tools, but the hole in the collet is only about .230
inch diameter. I had to file down the shank of my home made ScotchBrite
mandrel for it to fit. Since I've got a replacement, I think I'll
send this one to my brother so he can really appreciate what a fine
tool it is. (NOT! :-) I fully intend to harass my brother about this
for a long time to come. :-)
I also received a new ScotchBrite mandrel and some coarser ScotchBrite wheels
in the mail.
