Craftsman 7 in. Right Angle Grinder, 13 amp 27704

Pros: PRICE, THATS IT!! A quality tool.
Cons: The lock-nut's special tool, replace it for 5$.

IM gonna keep this short and sweet...If you really want the best grinder in the world, and money is no problem for you... get a Metabo. If your broke, and having 13-15 amps of electric motor spinning wildly in your hands "thrills" you, buy some piece of ...

Pros: Sears return policy
Cons: definately not for commercial use - won't last

I worked in a metal fab shop and used grinders quite a lot. The Craftsman grinder was purchased at Sears during an out of town job.

After about six hours of hard use, the bearings went. Returned it to Sears who gladly exchanged it for another (two hours lost from job site).

The second grinder was used in a freezer grinding 1/2 inch anchor bolts and it only lasted a day and a half when the armature came apart.

A grinder its not, maybe light sanding or polishing.

Pros: I have nothing good to say about this tool
Cons: I'd take a beating before I ever bought another Sears power tool.

I am a Professional Pipefitter and Certified Welder I bought this grinder for $130.00 and took VERY GOOD care of it. After 3 years of reletively light work the motor is totally gone.
