Thinking its a bit of a gamble at a Tenner

Its either that or a Makita one for a bit more, £40 + p&p

Haha, its worth the risk for a tenner.

I'm pretty sure it will have been safety tested before sale.

i'd not be at all concerned about a wired grinder quality. Cheaper the better imo.
It's cordless stuff where you want to be spending better money i reckon.

the machine mart ones are very good. I have the mid range one from there and it is used for hours every day, has lasted 8 months so far!

I use an oldish makita 110v at work everyday to cut concrete fence posts and gravelboards and it gets some proper abuse, like when we are done with it it gets chucked into a box on the back of our van and it gets dropped.


But you can't go wrong for a tenner.
