i like the thumb trigger much better

Impulse buy?

had a grinder fail yesterday, and seems i missing another one or its in one of the trucks / trailers somewhere
picked up a replacement porter, and also the dewalt since it was "on sale and only 10$ more than the 2nd PC i was going to get.
probably throw you some numbers pretty soon. i need to replace 2 regular drills that also failed this month (dewalt 18v drill / Porter cable 18v drill). M4 is pretty tough on tools.

Not a fan of dewalt grinders, buddies use them to cut stone, for them they don't last too long
That $30 porter is 6amp 11000rpm compared to the usual 7amp 12k rpm
I like the squeeze trigger where there's a possibility I may drop it
-
i dont like that i need 2 hands to lock the trigger, always have the trigger locked.
the reg PCs are 7amp 10K FYI
-
I have all thumb triggers, and really prefer the PC front trigger like you've had. Drop safety. 97% of the time I hold a grinder in such a way that the dead man switch would be covered.
I'm liking my dewalt 5" units a lot, not that I've done a ton since I got them.
Next order I'm planning on a battery impact for the buggy. 15+ minute tire changes that kill me are useless, especially without a codriver.
-
i have dropped them and wrapped them in my welding jacket sleve, they still dont shut off till you pull the cord from the wall
-
I don't lock the trigger, I've wrapped them in a shirt or 2 as well. I like the longer body cause I usually use 2 hands on, I've noticed Smike holds it 1 handed like a palm sander. On smaller concrete jobs I've used a makita grinder to score concert, current one is on 2 years
-
one hand man, other hand on the work piece.
you girls using vices and clamps takes too long for me.
