I purchase these for plant work. I have had great durability out of these Just don’t use miller for a power source and they are great

We’ve have two of them in service for over 6 months in a steel fab shop and they work great. Better weight for working out of position and they have been dependable. Its important to use a quality abrasive with it so that you can let the tool do the work. If you use the cheaper grade abrasives it forces you to bear down on the tool too much. 3M Silver and CB2 products run great on this tool. The one issue we have is that the guard is about 1-1/4 deep and it really limits the tools usability.
