KLUTCH brand tools

[NJ Diver]

Hey Guys..

Does anyone have any experience with this brand? I am in the market for a die grinder and an angle die grinder and I saw this from Northern tool

I think it looks pretty good and I really like some of the features on it, but I've never heard of the brand before. I see it has a 5* rating, but that's only from two reviews.

I just wanted to get some other feedback before pulling the trigger. Too bad they don't seem to make this in an angle die grinder too.

Thanks!

Do a search, I know I have answered on this topic before and their where a few others.

I have a few Klutch air tools and they all have been great. They are good cheap tools. A lot of bang for the buck. The only negative thing I have to say about them is I believe the specs are overrated. My 1/2" air gun is rated at 400-600 ft lbs (900 max), yet I would rate it more like 400 max and 200 working ft lbs. But its still a nice impact for $99.

Thanks. I had seen them, but nothing really specific to the die grinder. Overall, there was some good feedback on other tools.

I have their die grinder. I use it all the time for everything from pin stripe removal to carbide burrs. It's my favorite of the Klutch tools I own.

I like it because it's one of the few die grinders Ive seen that has a speed control knob on the grinder, & because it is composite. Light weight, and no more cold hands.

I just used my Klutch compact 1/2" impact wrench for the first time tonight. I bought it for suspension work. Tonight I used it for knocking off lugs to change out from snow tires on the kid's car. It worked really well. Longevity will be the next issue. I guess we will see what happens. For 69.99, I didn't think I could go wrong.
