[QUOTE="tinman, post: 5629896, member: 11821"] in a nutshell, well said. Grinders imo are the work of the devil but a nessicary evil all the same. id never consider buying a 115 grinder, indeed i have a 115 slitting disc here by mistake and id say the only day it ill ever get used is the day i have nothing else. i like the Metabo grinders, have 4 of them here, 1x 9" , 2 125mm's and a low boy version for the tight places. However, inside the last 10 odd mths Hitachi bought Metabo (or at least their power tool side of things), a few months ago the pair were sold to an outfit called KKR. now nobody can say for sure but kkr dont have the best rep when it comes to investing money, indeed the complete opposite is more the norm so its hard to know now if metabo will still be around in years to come, id sincerely hope they will but its a bit up in the air. problem with all that is if its run into the ground will spare parts still be able.
