Snap On Mini Die Grinder

[ohblondi]

Alright folks I need some help.

I can get this set for approximately 130 dollars.

PT110ADGK

Is it worth buying? I realize it's a good deal but are there other grinders out there that are just as good at a better price?

at 130 for the kit you wont find a better deal on a quality grinder, you can find cheaper grinders but not of the same quality. For 130 id buy 2. I have the snap on pt400 1hp grinder its a beast well balanced doesnt get cold while using and not terribly loud

Just do it!

Do you need 20 000rpms and 1/4" collet? If you don't, I'd recommend a small grinder with an inline motor. On 90* die grinders it's usually the gear set that gives out first.

Something like this:

Just a note: The higher end snap-on die grinders (Like PT400) are basically reskinned older Sioux models. The lower end models are not, though I don't know where the pt110 would fall. What's COO on that one?

Gotta love SEP pricing, there are several good deals on the current flyer.

Kinda what I figured. Sioux makes real good air tools. For the money new that is going to be very hard to beat. Are there better ones? Sure, especially in the industrial sector (Dotco and the like) but you aren't going to be getting a new one for anywhere close to that price.

You got that flyer handy?

I know nothing about Grinders this would be my first. What are some pros and cons versus the IR model shown by garfunkle.

Thanks for the help guys and sorry for the late response.

I plan on using this grinder for a couple small rust spots I have developing on the inside of my doors of my Dodge Ram.

I want to take off the rust and paint down to bare metal in these areas and just protect them with some gloss black spray paint (they are in an inconspicuous area).

I figured I would need a grinder down the road and thought this could be a good start.
