Harbor Freight - Gems and Junk

the air angle die grinders. i keep a cutoff wheel on one, and a scotchbright roloc mandrel on the other. at $15 each i use em every day at work, and have a set at home in the shop. get the ones that have the bronse bushing pressed in the main housing as a guide for the throttle pin. i have seen em with just a hole bored in the aluminum housing those are no good.

i get about 3 to 5 years out of em, and when the bevel gears give up the ghost, i unthread my fittings, and my mandrels, and pitch em into the scrap bucket.

also love my HF chop saw. yes it doesnt have the oomph that the makita at my work has, but for home use its plenty fine. just gotta go easy with it. but its better than using a hacksaw.
