So I had some spare cash after the gift giving of the holidays was done and all, so I decided to buy myself a grinder instead of spending it all on hookers and blow. :awesomework:
Ended up getting a Milwaukee 4.5" 10 amp for a hundred bucks, model # 6148-30, for those that are more internet savvy than I.
Seems to be a REALLY nice unit, will lock in the on position, even with the paddle type trigger. Has a 3 position to screw the handle into, and, this is the part I'm really impressed with, the guard is set up with little notches and a spring loaded tab so you can rotate the guard around to a different angle without having to find a screw driver or remove it once you have whatever wheel you were last using off.
I don't know how knew any of these features are, seeing as how the only other grinder I've ever used is a 15+ year old 4.5" Makita that's also a 10 amp, but a trigger lock model.
So, what say you, NWW tool junkies? Did I goof? I was planning on getting a Makita like my dad's got but the only ones HD had were piddly little 5 amps. :looser:
