HF Tools are weird. I bought one of their $15 4 1/2" angle grinders last week to have at camp. Its first job was to sharpen the blades on the bush hog. Its nearly as good as my Makita, other than the switch is cheezy its a very good grinder.HF sells really good grinding/cutting wheels too, surprisingly good considering its HF... -Curt
