Best grinder to buy?

I bought a really good grinder when I went to Amsterdam some years back but definitely not suitable for work lol
For work I use with a Bosch or dewalt both work well and the brushes are easy and cheap to replace

Best grinder to buy?

I downloaded an app for my phone as thought it would be fast way to get started.

WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

Well I suspect which type are you looking for,
10" 4 1/4" right angle, or movable angle, left or right handed?

Then are we talking steel or Coffee?
I have a Cuisinart Coffee Grinder that works well, as my GE is selectable grind, and duration.

I have a Milwaukee, and a DeWalt that are good, but I find my Cheapie HarborFrieght one that is 9Amp good.
I think it lasted about 9 years for the first one.

I also have a Hyundai Sawzall, and Grinder that are Battery Operated, that I take to the Wrecking yards, as well as 4 batteries… I don't use them often, but they do come in handy.

I have a Black&Decker 1958 model 1/4 speed drill, and 3/8 speed drill that have been used by my Uncle and Father that were passed on to me, as well as a 1/2" Hammer Drill, all are Aluminum Cased, non-gfi'ed and would kill you if hit with water, but you know they have proven that they used to build tools that would last a lifetime….with little or no maintenance, and all I have done was to swap out the Cords, and Chuck Keys.

While some newer ones are Pricey, it doesn't mean that they are Durable over the course of a lifetime.

   

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

I think my little 4 1/4" grinder came from the range homestore.

Its a draper one and they messed up the price, 5yrs on its still going, not bad for a tenner

My 10" is a lidl Parkside, for the price and the guarantee they offer I dont think you can beat them

Like 1985 I recommend Lidle own brand:thumbs:.

Have used all their power tools (and spanners sockets and more) on this working farm for years! and never had to replace one yet-despite abuse…
All with 3 year warrenty and a ridiculously low price.
Only downside is they alternate so you need to check what's available as they launch new items on Thursdays and Saturdays and they sell out pretty fast.
A friend who is a builder buys them too to use on site and he cant break them either.
What's not to like?

I've got a Milwaukee now, love my Milwaukee fuel stuff.
