    you got me. I've been casually using the SAE version I bought from HF for whats got to be 20 years now. Adding the metric one to the list is wroth it at that price recent learning: put some grease under the knob friction point or it will eventually start to gall and bind up when you try to back...

    Precision Instruments Dial Torque Wrenches

    You Can't Trust Internet Reviews

    I have 2 different model Ryobi cordless grinders. Neither has vibration that I notice any more than "yep there's a grinder spinning in my hand". I use mine with flap wheels, cut off wheels and grinding wheels and wire brushes too is it just with the roloc?

    Waste oil storage/tank

    1/4" socket drive metric hex set

    thanks for this. i may go this route (cheaper brand but same idea) with a $10 hex bit set. then I've got the multi-use potential if I need low clearance, I can use the little hex driver ratchet that sits in the drawer instead of the 1/4" setup
