Actually, it's better to go to Carlisle and buy the $6 angle grinders.
(Available at most of the tool vendor booths.) Buy 3 or 4 of them. You can
keep different types of disks in each one so you don't have to keep changing
them for different jobs. Since they're all made in the same factory in China
or Taiwan, including Chicago Electric, they are all about the same quality.
(Or lack thereof.) You can also check www.homier.com for cheep angle
grinders, but you have to pay shipping.
