Need mini die grinder

[Dave in Mpls]

Hey, guys

 

I'm on the search for an angled mini die grinder. Seems I'm constantly borrowing my buddy's, so it's time for me to purchase one. The one I have been using is the following:

I'm not opposed to spending money for quality tools, but am curious if anybody has suggestions to alternatives I could also check out.

 

I would mainly be using it to clean up parts, etc, so I would need a collet and pads, either included or as a seperate purchase.

 

Thanks!

It's not angled, but Harbor Freight has a mini die grinder for $15.

If you're only going to be using it occasionally, I wouldn't think it would be too much worse than the $200 one from Mac.

ditto on the Harbor freight for occasional use.

 

If you have a retail store near you, all the better. Most of Harbor Freight tools have lifetime or a lifetime could be bought replacement warranty.

 

There's a retail store here in Tucson. A lot of new home construction trades buy the nailers with lifetime warranty. While they would prefer using the Dewalt's and Bosch and the like, they don't have the warranties and in a year they need to be replaced from wear and tear. Whereas the Harbor Freight ones may only last 3-4 months, but they can get them replaced no charge and the replacements get a lifetime warranty on them as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys-

 

I'll make a decision in the next few days and go for it!
