I bought one of the $20 recip saws a few years back, was $20 then too!  That thing refuses to die, and I have abused it.  It surprises me greatly.  I did have to replace one of the allen screws that holds the saw guard and do a bit of a mod but that was nothing. --FT On 5/24/19 1:41 PM,

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. https://www.lowes.com/pd/PORTER-CABLE-4-1-2-in-7-Amp-Trigger-Switch-Corded-Angle-Grinder/1208961 I do not recall the exact price but I think it was on sale and I got it for less than the amount now listed. No problems with it. I think one is better

I have one on the shelf to replace the p/n 91223 grinder I'm using now when it dies - it's #2 - the first lasted five years of intermittent use. On Fri, May 24, 2019 at 1:00 PM Craig via Mercedes wrote: > On Fri, 24 May 2019 11:41:29 -0600 Craig wrote: > > > Having heard disparaging remarks
