Good value grinder, October 22, 2009
By PeeWee8400 from Williamson, NY

"Overall I like this grinder. I use it around my home shop for small hobby welding projects and mostly for sharpening mower blades. The trigger switch is my favorite feature and the 3 position handle is nice too. I'm not sure how well it would hold up to everyday use but for the price it does every thing I need it to. Do yourself a favor and throw away the original disc. It clogged up with the first set of blades I sharpened like I was trying to grind aluminum. I alway feel you get what you pay for and this grinder is no exception. I think it is a very good grinder for the price."

Northern Tool 4-1/2 Angle Grinder- CT-3049, October 19, 2009
By rafatch from Princeton, MA

"I had a demolition project that was a "one of" type for me that required an angle grinder to cut off framing nail and some 1/4 inch bolt ends.. It was about 25 hours worth of work and I used up several 1/8 thick cut off wheels. I did not want or need to spend big bucks to rent or purchase a tool. I found the CT-3049 priced at the level which matched a daily rental cost. I was able to work at my pace not concerned about rental returns and add the tool to my collection which I know will come in handy later on. As for performance the CT-3049 did all I asked of it. My operation required cycling the grinder on and off in short cycles, the control switch did seem to stick a few times in the off position after a couple of hours of use toward the end, but never became a big problem. Over all the grinder did what I required and saved me time and some labor."

Acceptable for Homeowner use, July 20, 2009
By bowtiefan from Knoxville, TN

"I have used this grinder for several years. I bought it to sharpen lawn mower blades and other light duty work. I did use it to remove a diving board stand at our community pool, which was a bit above its intended duty. I had to stop and let it cool a couple of times, but it still works fine. I have also used it to cut tile. Professionals and frequent welders should spend the extra money for a name brand."

Priced right, July 16, 2009
By Ekim from New hampshire

"This tool is certainly priced right. It is a little loud and seems to rattle more than more expensive brands but it gets the job done for a lot less money."

Works fine, November 17, 2008
By Chrisjm74

"I've had this for a couple months. I've used it for welding and masonry grinding. Works fine. Don't know how long it will last. I'd say it'll stand up to my infrequent usage."

good heavy grinder, August 11, 2008
By outinthecountry from middle of Kansas

"The price is what first caught my eye...but the grinder seems to be heavily built, and works very well on all my welding/steel projects. It is a good buy, and has not failed me yet."
