I also strongly advise against buying 4" grinding disks from them, I did and had the first one exsplode and bust my knuckle,(yes I was wearing gloves too). Sucked to have a power tool fail when your facing a dead line, derby was two weeks away, so I ran to the pawnshop and got a makita for $15 and still use it today. Still falls back on you get what you pay for.

I think I paid $10?
I bought my first one a couple years back, and its been beat on, dropped, wet, Ive used it with a diamond blade to cut brick, wire wheel for various projects, grinding wheel etc.
I finally bought another one because the switch quit on me. But I still use it... its stuck in the on position so I just plug it in to use it. The new one is going strong.
