I purchased a year ago. Die Grinder stored in my home, untouched until today. Had a very small diameter wire cone on it, just cleaning minor rust from a stainless steel propeller. Within 20 minutes grinder quit working. Waited >60 min, hoping a thermister caused cut-out, but grinder is "ice-cold" and still does not work. $50 is a LOT to pay for 20 minutes. I strongly advise against purchase.

Tool works fine for most small and detailed applications. Do not expect to use this to remove welding slag or grind welds.

DISCOUNT THE COMPLAINTS. This piece is a bargain, given its unique versatility. Some complain about vibration, but it vibrates less than a more expensive dremel while being more versatile due to the chuck and it won’t vibrate if you use short-shafted tools in the chuck. The farther your tool extends from the chuck, the greater the chance this will vibrate. Yes it gets warm. Big deal. Wear gloves if you need to. The bottom line here is that you get a LOT of useful versatility for a very modest price.

I needed an electric die grinder for small specific infrequent tasks in my shop, so it made little sense to spend a chunk of change on a big-name maker. I thought if I get a year of service out of this, it will be a great deal. I was expecting the sort of quality usually associated with Harbor Freight tools, and holy cow was I pleasantly surprised. Shocked, even. The Good: this is a well-made tool with heavy plastic and aluminum castings. Fit and finish are outstanding. It uses a brushed motor, and it's rebuildable (brushless motors are a scam...cheap to make and much lower in torque at low speeds). Two additional brushes are included. The chuck is a Jacobs type so you're not limited to only 1/4" arbors, and it's shrouded in a stationary sleeve, making the tool easy to grip at the front. Total indicated runout 2" from the chuck jaws is .004" which is shockingly good for a cheap tool like this (may be luck, or it may be good QC...I don't know). It has preset variable speed and plenty of power to drive a 2" sanding drum, grinding stone, or 3" Roloc disk. It has plenty of airflow to keep the tool cool, with a directional fan and the exhaust blowing out the front of the tool near the work. This is a great feature because it draws in cooler air from the rear of the tool, away from the business end where there's lots of abrasive particles that would otherwise enter the tool and cause an early death. The Bad: the shroud on the chuck can really slow you down when changing to a different sized arbor because you cannot spin the chuck by hand; the key must be used. The tool is not reversible like some pneumatic die grinders. The air vents can be blocked by your grip and cause the tool to overheat, so pay attention. The switch can be hard to reach; it's not a trigger type, it's a recessed flat toggle at the rear of the tool, and is operated with a fingertip. The Ugly: the power cord is comically short and not even rated at Service Junior specs. I'll be replacing it; the good news is the strain relief is not molded onto the cord, so it can be used with the new, longer cord I'll install. Despite the Bad and Ugly, this tool is a no-brainer. I'll be buying one or two more before the price goes up because having a few means not having to change a drum/disk. Plug in and go. NOTE: I am not a shill reviewer; I'm a shlub like most people with their own shop, and I have many good name-brand tools. I also like a good deal on a good tool, and this is definitely a good deal on a good tool. Recommended.

Purchase this tool for wood carving, it worked great for about 3 minutes the it started to get hot, very hot! I tried using it on several occasions and the different tips, same problem, tried running it at different speeds, Same problem, so I threw it in the trash can to save me from further disappointment.

I chose this grinder over a more expensive brand BECAUSE it had SPEED CONTROLS which the 3x expensive model did not.The first thing to FAIL was the speed control, causing it to run at FULL SPEED, which can be DANGEROUS to the user and/or his projects. In it's first hours of use and proper operation, it did exhibit sufficient power and NO wobbling at all.It does overheats routinely and I found it needed to rest infront of a fan. So the QUALITY of the speed control needs to be improved. Plus, the cooling needs improvement and this machine "could become" a champion. It really overheats to the point that you cannot hold it, even with gloves.

After my Dremel tool died for the final time I decided to replace it with something else and this die grinder was small enough to do what I wanted it to do. The reviews of this tool and other similar tools helped me choose to order this one.This tool has the chuck with key that I wanted, would accept various size shafts for my assorted collection, and is variable speed. So far I am very happy with it. Works great, isn't too loud, seems to have plenty of power for my use, and seems to be very good quality.I can recommend this to friends without reservation.
