Not the Usual Daily Grind
At $21.99, you wouldn't expect much performance out of an angle grinder. Nowadays, 22 bucks barely covers two people at McDonald's... but a heavy-duty angle grinder? Next you're going to say I can make hundreds of thousands of dollars at home in my pajamas, or that there can never be too many PC "inspirational" quotes on Facebook.
But the truth is, the Chicago Electric Heavy-Duty 4-1/2" Angle Grinder DOES perform-- with a vengeance-- and can tackle tough metal cutting, shaping and slag removal-jobs with the efficiency of a grinder five times the cost. A valuable tool for the professional metal worker or hobbyist. That's not just me talking-- or the Harbor Freight marketing mucky mucks-- that's coming from the customers who bought it:
" Well worth the money, and a fraction of the cost of something similar from a box store... and CONSIDER getting an extra grinder. It's a hassle switching back and forth between wheels, and these are cheap enough you can have two on hand with different wheels. (And you'll *still* come in cheaper than getting one from a box store!)" goodeknight - Chesapeake, VA
"LET ME TELL YOU.... I have now owed this cheap-O thing for 2 months shy of 5 yrs, and besides fading from leaving out in the sun and some paint splatter, it's been going strong. Pretty much the same as day one. I still do the same things I did before as when I was using the Makita, however I have added using it for cutting bricks, and sanding custom formed concrete boulders adding sharp angles that I make for water features." Scott - Queen Creek, AZ
"This angle grinder is a great deal for the price, it works fine, put some quality grease in it and allow to cool properly, it will serve you well, its already paid for itself many times over." buffington - Redondo Beach, CA
"I started a car project that required paint stripping, approximately 3 coats of old paint required removal. I slapped a GatorGrit paint removal wheel on this cheap little grinder, and to my surprise, this thing kicks b***. I removed all the paint from my car in no time! If you get name brand grinder discs and paint removal wheels, the grinder rarely bogs down... it has handled everything I have thrown at it; tiles, metal, paint removal, blade sharpening, etc... Love it for the price, and will buy another when this one dies. So far it's still kicking!" Tony - Undisclosed
Check out the powerful, smooth-running Chicago Electric 4-1/2" angle grinder for yourself. At just $21.99 (or $17.59 with your Harbor Freight 20% Off Coupon!), it may turn out to be the best deal you ever made on a power tool.
