Five Star Reviews: | 77% Solid Performance November 25, 2015 Was looking for a moderate priced grinder for sporadic use after having poor luck with cheaper units. Put this one to the test this year cutting steel rod with abrasion blades and marking concrete cuts with a diamond blade. The unit feels solid and has performed well throughout all applications. Hitachi appears to offer good value. Also very happy with a Hitachi cordless drill purchase and considering purchasing another one. Simple and tough March 23, 2015 The good: Fairly inexpensive for a good quality tool. It had held up to a little under a year of use and abuse without a problem.The odd: Not really sure why the handle is angled the way it is. Sometimes it gets in the way a little bit, but I've always been able to angle it one way or another to do what I need to do.I've used this to strip linings out of 55 gallon drums, cut 1/8" steel and sheet metal roofing, and grind rust and paint off cars and truck beds. Hasn't shown any signs of wear yet, works just as well as the first day I used it. Excellent value January 22, 2015 I thought this angle grinder is outstanding for the price, it's a great tool and comes with a case and 5 grinding disks. Check out my video review at.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ7n1gZ5NnA Perfect Shade Tree Grinder June 2, 2014 I have reddish-brown trim on my 11 year-old Subaru which, in every respect, is a 1) paid for and 2) virtuously maintenance free. This grinder makes short work of cutting away rotten metal and bringing the surrounding sheet metal to a blemish-free finish. Applying NAPA's Fiber Strand Plus body filler on an appropriately sized sheet of wax paper and wrapping that over the leading and trailing rear wheel body openings renders a plausible, if utilitarian, look. Several sandings ( don't use grinder ! ) and recoats will be required. Flat sheet metal won't require wax paper application - just apply directly.At any rate, this is a wonderful grinder - the one blade I've used has many more years of life. Vibration - negligible. Very tolerable loudness. Very Well Made March 6, 2014 I bought this to replace a similar but different brand name grinder that failed. The Hitachi is about the same size, but appears to be much better made. Fit and finish is much better than my old one. This is a very handy tool for grinding rust, welds, and rough-finishing metal parts and brackets. Larger grinders are too big and heavy to use for any length of time, and corded tools never need to swap batteries in the middle of a project. I am very pleased with this purchase. Great Price February 4, 2014 Harbor Freight No-Name-O or Hitachi? That's what it gets down to here. Grinders take a terrible beating and there's nothing pretty about them. At 6 amps, this one is at the lower end of the power cut to be good enough. | 83% Great for stripping rust September 30, 2017 Great for stripping rust, paint, and body filler from cars. Doesn't throw nearly as many threads as other wheels and maintains its shape. Tough wire April 28, 2017 I believe in name brand when it comes to wire wheels. I do not like the bits of wire that break off of cheap brand wheels. Dewalt wire wheels do hold up and last longer than others. Works great, removes material fast, hard to control so watch speed and wear goggles!! October 28, 2016 Worked fine with my Dewalt right angle grinder motor, removes a lot of material in a short time but the brush wires are very stiff and crap fliesall over so wear your best fully protective goggles with this baby. Save yourself a trip to ER to have something removed, if you don't wear thegoggles! Bought based on reviews and was not disappointed. Used on a hitachi Grindr to remove rust ... April 13, 2016 Bought based on reviews and was not disappointed. Used on a hitachi Grindr to remove rust from oil pipe. No shedding of wires noted. Probably did about 100' worth of pipe and it looks like it has a lot of life left in it. Will repurchase when I need a new one for sure. Powerhouse rust remover March 15, 2016 I bought this to use on my angle grinder and WOW, it demolishes rust and old paint on steel surfaces. I used it to restore a rusty trailer hitch and it made short work of 15 years worth of rust, grit, and flaking powdercoat. I will be using it on many other projects. Please note that the coarse steel bristles are much too aggressive for brass, plastic, fiberglass, aluminum, etc...Wear your SAFETY GLASSES when using this tool! Makes quick work of rust November 28, 2015 Scary motherf***ker. Produces more sparks than any other attachment. 5/5This will knock the life out of rust.Used to clean some rust off the underside of my car, though I did end up giving up and decided it was too much hassle, cars rust, it happens.Probably too much grinding action for polishing anything other than steel. I have actually tried using to clean the cement-gravel mixture ground on our patio. It took me a while to realize that the coarse dust coming flying off the grinder was actually separated dry cement powder and that this f*cker was grinding off the cement from the gravel! | 81% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 16% Comes with a case and grinding wheels February 14, 2016 The grinder itself is nice. I like the fact that it comes with its own case and some grinding wheels but not perfect, my other cheap grinder comes with much easier ... November 3, 2015 only 40 bucks. it is cheap yet well made. but not perfect, my other cheap grinder comes with much easier adjustable dust guide. this hitach you have to use screw driver to do it. And it is bit heavy for a 6amp grinder. Works great. I wanted something to replace the real cheap ... June 27, 2015 Works great. I wanted something to replace the real cheap angle grinder that I used with a wire brush wheel. It is not the best nor the most powerful but it works great. I am considering buying another one. This one comes with a case, spanner and five metal grinding wheels. Decent grinder January 9, 2015 This is not as light and easy to use as some of the pricier grinders, but for me it makes a great spare. Power is adequate. It's just a little clunky. Power cord is stiff and the rough cut gears are a little noisy, but it't a good solid tool. If you kill it cutting abrasive stone or concrete, it's not a big loss This tool is a little thicker than I'd like. I wish it had tool-free blade and guard ... December 6, 2014 This tool is a little thicker than I'd like. I wish it had tool-free blade and guard changing mechanisms. But for the price it feels very solid and powerful. I suspect it will last me a long time. quality tool September 13, 2013 out of the box it is obvious that it is a quality product. I have suckered myself into buying cheap tools more times than I care to admit. this is not one of those times. easy to change wheels ,good power & balance. the reason for the four? I don't like the fat handle but I don't see this as a major issue. | 12% Good muli- use clean-up for stone or welding April 9, 2017 Work well for cleaning for welds. Wears well. I used it for cleaning stone to rebuild wall. Also used to clean rust off to repaint wrought iron fence. Really good. March 8, 2017 Works great, I've used these before they last a long time and makes working easier. Made in China December 10, 2016 Made in ChinaGo through plenty of these at work removing paint, or rust from metal equipment. They last, wear eye protection the wires will penetrate pretty deep when they hit you. Best price I can find, the Millwaukee ones from the big box store are double the price. | 13% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 4% Hitachi was rated as one the best grinders. June 8, 2016 Thought I would use this product from time to time, but so far I have not used it. Hitachi was rated as one the best grinders. Worth the money February 3, 2016 I have been a contractor, pressman and industrail mechanic so tools are important to me. I normally buy high quality tools only as I can justify the costs based on the lifetime use. I bought this grinder to cut stone on my fireplace for a modification I was doing. To my surprise for the amperage and price this unit is really worth more than it costs. A real value. The tool is AWESOME!. June 22, 2015 The case had the wrong slide pieces to lock it. so i only have one side that closes the case. The tool is AWESOME!... mess up at the packing plant i guess.. It is not lightweight, still too heavy for extended time use. August 6, 2014 It is not lightweight, still too heavy for extended time use. Even without the protective metal case and handle bar, I don't think it is just 3.1 lbs as stated. Pretty good March 19, 2014 Good grinder but does not work with flat disks. Nice carry case and 5 grinding disks included with the grinder. | 3% ... down fairly quickly for the price and wasnt any better than a traditional wire wheel IMO October 16, 2017 Burned down fairly quickly for the price and wasnt any better than a traditional wire wheel IMO. Three Stars December 3, 2016 Wore out after only a bit of use cleaning up a mid size pick up truck frame. the ones bought at big orange work better. I thought a Dewalt would be superior August 28, 2015 Frankly, the ones bought at big orange work better. I thought a Dewalt would be superior. The bristles tend to get misshapen easily and they sort of flare out too easily. It's "ok" but I've used better. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 1% A sad little grinder. November 19, 2016 This grinder has seen light use for just over a year, and it's starting to intermittently lose power. It's been used about 25 times for under 5 minutes each use. It's really a pitiful little thing. Problems with unit. August 19, 2009 The unit was purchased new. It makes an odd sound starting up.Used it for 5 minutes making light cuts in stone.IT cut however, the diamond blade stopped often enough that I think I need a more powerful grinder. I wasn't trying to make deep cuts but lightly cutting over multiple passes.The top plate that holds the blade has a channel where it connects to the spinning arbor. The channel deformed a little. Since this channel is not snug, the angular momentum of the turning shaft does not get translated efficiently to the blade.The fit should be snug.Case was fine and nice enough for me.5 disks were included that were all the same, metal grinding disks.Will probably return for something with more power. | 1% Wish it lasted longer February 23, 2017 I will give credit where credit is due, the wire wheel did a great job removing the rust and paint on my f250 restoration project, however I am seriously disappointed in the longevity of the wheel. After maybe half an hour of use the fly aways were flying uncomfortably often and about an hour into the project the wheel had no wire left. Now I must confess that my only reference point is a wheel that my father has probably had for 30 years but I was disappointed none the less. Does not really last too long September 17, 2016 Does not really last that long. Not sure if any of these do. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 2% I bought 6 amper unit to remove sinset from by ... December 3, 2015 I bought 6 amper unit to remove sinset from by kitchen floor. It burned out 5 minutes after the job. U nfortunately, I used it past 1 month of return policy. Junk and stay away!. Instead I bought Dewalt that was more expansive but it worked for 8 hours without getting warm. Poor product Quality February 17, 2015 I got a tool with a damaged armature. This shows a lack of quality control. Good for 6weeks December 9, 2014 Didn't last for much more than a month. Sent back for warranty but have heard nothing from company. Not happy, but will update if they honor warranty. Very bad quality. January 12, 2014 Used just one time and the engine stopped working, started with a odd sound and one minute later broken, is not a good product at all. I will return it. Buy only for looks!!! January 19, 2012 I bought this angle grinder for work as a welder and fitter. We usually only use grinders to grind off welds or smooth out burn marks. I figured this Hitachi would be an awesome tool for the job. I unboxed the grinder the day I got it and went to work. About half way through the work day, the oppertunity arose for me to test it out. After only 3 minutes of light grinding, this product went from 5 stars to 1. It did not burn up, I am a proffessional and know how to use tools properly (Follow the duty cycle). It lost more than half it's power and has a "thud" in it's rotation. Do not buy this product if you plan on actually using it. But if you want to show off this great looking paper weight, this grinder is for you. | 1% *** THE TRUTH: POSSIBLY MADE FROM IRRADIATED METAL *** July 13, 2017 The item can't be shipped to California??? Is it made of irradiated material from China??? By the way, you can purchase this exact item at your local Lowe's home store, ...IN CALIFORNIA! ...WOW Amazon!!! As for the quality of this item, ...there is nothing special about it. Most people will purchase it for the Dewalt name, ...but the quality of it is no better than your Warrior 3" Twisted Wire Cap Brush (Warrior® - Item#47927) from your local Harbor Freight Tools store. The only difference, you'll pay for the tool buying the Warrior one from Harbor Freight, where you'll pay for the brand buying this nuclear irradiated one from China with Dewalt's name on it :p out of balance. April 18, 2015 Cups are not balanced. Make for a very difficult job.. Bought 5 and three had this problem. Save your money and buy the better quality, higher priced ones November 15, 2014 Save your money and buy the better quality, higher priced ones. Milwaukee brand comes to mind. You will be picking wire out of your legs and arms with these and they don't last very long. I use wire brushes allot and I have made the mistake twice buying these. All my other Dewalt stuff is great. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
