And, of course, they've got the wonderful problem that there's not any
quality control. A few years ago, I bought three 4.5" angle grinders
at the same time. They were on sale for some really cheap price ($10
I think.). I was doing a big welding project, and it's handy to have
a cut off wheel in one, a grinding disk in another, and a flapwheel or
wire brush in another, so you don't have ever change them out. One
lasted about three days, the second a bit longer, but the third is
still going strong.
