Great Angle Grinder For The Price!
Would RecommendI have used many angle grinders before, expensive Milwaukee ones, battery ones. This one does lack some of the features of an angle grinder in the $100 price range, But gets the job done just as well.
Wasnt worth it
Would Not RecommendI purchased this for the occasional home use and I was impressed after the first few times but it suddenly just quit working. It wasnt being worked hard and maybe I got a lemon but expected more then a half a dozen uses out of it.
works great
Would RecommendBought this grinder today to strip paint off an old door and it worked great. Ive been needing a new grinder for awhile but havent really had to use one untill today. Ive have a couple craftmans power tools and have always like them so i decided to go with this one. Ran it for over an hour 2 different times and it done a great job. Lots of power and light weight. The handle did seem like it would start to come loose a little but i figured it might just be the vibration of running it for over an ...
Craftsman Angle Grinder
Would RecommendI needed a solid performer to do my woodwork. This angle grinder can take it. I really like the 3rd mounting location for the handle and the wrench has actual pins that grip the locknut when changing grinding/sanding wheels out.

Not sure about Craftsman
I purchased this 4.5-inch $35.00 Craftsman grinder after in-store comparison. I brought it home, plugged it in and it spun OK. Encouraged, I followed instructions and attached the enclosed grinding disk and plugged it in. Within two seconds, smoke began to pour from the motor compartment. I immediately pulled the cord and the smoke continued with heat in the handle. After a cool down, I removed the disk and re-boxed and returned grinder to store and explained the problem as above. I still had...
Grinder
Would RecommendI had to cut some metal part from my 1969 GMC truck and I needed a grinder because the bolts were so rusted and old that it was easier to cut them! This grinder did the job, I only had to buy some metal pads!

Great grinder
Would RecommendPurchased this grinder after my old one gave out. Feels comfortable in the hand, solid and of good quality. Made short work of the rivets on my Chevy’s upper A arms. Powerful and smooth. Glad I purchased it.

It’s so light
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a welded metal sculptor. The angle grinder is one of the primary tools I use. It is like an extension of my arm. I’ve used de Walt for years but they have become heavier and more costly. I recently bought two metabo’s because everyone said they are the best. But they are about three times heavier than the craftsman I just bought and love.it was priced right has great cutting power and is so light I can wield it like a lightsaber. I’ve used...
