Size comparison...

They are 3" when new. They get smaller in diameter with use. I save the worn down ones to use in tight spots. Overall, an air angle die grinder is much more compact than a 4 1/2" electric grinder.

Air body saw or air die grinder with a cutoff disk.

The Snap On warranty is to the original purchaser. If you are a regular customer of a dealer, you can expect good warranty service. If you are someone like me, who bought a lot of Snap On tools off the truck years ago, but not a regular customer anymore, you are out of luck.

Speedglas. I’ve used a lot of different hoods, Harbor Freight, Hobart, Miller Elite. I like my Speedglas the best.

Cable clamp.

I've been running the Bosch blades from Lowes with good results. I've had my saw for about 16 years and have cut miles of steel with it. A few months ago, I lost a lot of teeth off the Bosch blade and went to Lowes to buy another. They were sold out. I went to Harbor Freight and found they had 4...

Low odor mineral spirits works great and has reasonable flash point, 108 degrees.

A wire wheel is a perfect example of why you should buy a grinder with variable speed.

I like Ingersoll Rand air tools. Even though they are now made in China, they are most definitely NOT the same as Harbor Freight air tools. They are a quality tool. Just like Milwaukee tools are now made in China, but still high quality professional tools.

1/2 Dewalt for drilling larger holes. I also use it for mixing thinset mortar, grout, drywall joint compound, etc. 3/8 Dewalt gets used when drilling a lot of holes, especially in thicker steel. Sometimes use it for mixing paint. Best to have options.

Metabo 5" with variable speed... https://amzn.to/3cMbAtl Variable speed is a "must have" in my opinion.

This question is from 7/31/2008.

I was at a store in a small strip mall yesterday. The end shop had an overhead door and the sign said it was some sort of equipment company. There was a bobcat and a track hoe parked on the side. I noticed one of their guys welding on a trailer in the parking lot with a 120 V Harbor Freight MIG...
