Oh, I use my Angle Grinder to remove paint and rust under doors on a car using various wheels to prep surface without sanding before using primer base coat of paint and matching color for top coats. Very efficient use of the tool.
Thought the paddle switch was the best until I did exactly what you described…it ate up a good portion of my project before I could get it under control…good video!
I picked up the Warrior 5 amp model grinder recently, it was on sale for $14.99. And ever since I saw your video about adding grease to the gear box, I always try and do that, it helps them last a little longer and quieter.
well worth it for the noise level by its self, but it does extend the life, odd what gave me the idea, I bought two chinese bicycles and both bottom bracket bearings failed, when I checked, there was very little grease in both, this would have lasted for casual use(outside warranty), but gave out from 100 miles a week, that made me think of tools like the grinder, I checked and it has 1/10 the amount of grease it should, HF scroll saw had zero grease, so I go over all HF power tools now Thanks for subscribing! - btw, you want to buy an american made bicycle? get ready to pay 20x as much as a chinese bike, the only bikes made in america are very high end bikes, american can't compete in the lower end of the bike market
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Yes, labor costs are much higher here than in China. I wish more items were made here, but sadly it's impossible to compete.

replace/add grease and they get a lot quieter, check my videos for a howto on the original drill master grinder (the warrior is a rebrand, same grinder) - they ship without enough grease, you can get this for $5 on a holiday sale and I have put 100s of hours on the original model and no issues - thanks for subscribing!
I laid some concrete for the first time. I need to grind cement off divider bricks, as well as high spots and rough areas in the concrete. Please recommend a blade. Charleston, SC
I used a high temperature grease when I replaced the grease in my grinders, just about any grease used for greasing your call will work, but with the grease I used, I don't plan to check the gear box again for a long time - video of replacing the grease - czcams.com/video/a33SyYLfhMA/video.html - thanks for subscribing!
not a surprise to me, none of HF's grinders come with that, it is not an essential tool required to run the grinder, part of the reason HF keeps their prices low -thanks for subscribing!
I have 2 that I only use with wood carving disc ( I don't want to take the chance of getting any metal on the wood), 1 with a cutoff disk, 1 with a grinding disk and 1 cordless, and 1 25 year old 4 inch grinder from harbor freight, its easier to keep 1 size disk on hand, so I don't use this one very much - so many tool options, and they are relatively cheap, so keeping several on hand is convenient, but they do take space - thanks for subscribing
@@segraves138 the original drill master is tough, I've used up several dozen grinding wheels and it is still great, the newer model drill master looks to the same design with some case changes, and is the same as the 'new' warrior - I got both drill masters for $5 each, and the warrior was free, the bauer was $30, and while its a better tool overall, the drill master is just as tough, and a much better price, for a grinder the difference in 5 amps(DM) and 8 amps(bauer) really does not matter very much in how well they work
@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews I used it pretty hard when I was putting in pavers outside of my dining room and had to cut down and different angles and it really worked great.

I have the bauer paddle switch but this model slightly better, thanks for the comment and thanks for subscribing!
Hey, so for some reason the part at 0:55 I'm having trouble on, I can't seem to get it loose

Is there a simple screw to remove to add oil, and what kind of oil, is pennzoil 5w 30 what you mean or do I need special oil
@@matt7iron No. First you have to remove the blade & the guard, then rhere are 4 screws that you need to remove.
Thanks for review/tips. Might need one of these. No reason to pay $$$ for Makita/Dewalt/Bosch-they’re loud too-hearing protection always.

a general use 35-70 grit grinding wheel should work fine - thanks for subscribing!
What grease do you recommend?

@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews Thank you.
Unbelievable that they did not include an allen wrench to change the position of the guard. SMH 😖 !

So the manual was stupid and never said to use the wrench to remove the outer flange I was wondering why it had that wrench tool
that is one of the reasons I do these videos, their manuals do leave our a lot of good info - thanks for subscribing!
how did you install or remove the wheel if not using the wrench ? Or did you bother using a wheel ?
So how many grinders does that make now? I guess you can never have to many.

@@snapwholeharborfreightreviews I only have the drill master and I love it. It’s never let me down. I don’t use it a ton.
