As long as it doesn't have a motor, it works well-enough to get the job done

I'm sure that $25 angle grinder works just fine...

That's what, two cents per RPM? What could possibly go wrong?

¢/RPM is an incredible unit of measure. We should sort all tools like this.

For the adrenaline junkies out there.

Pick up some 50 cent safety glasses and you're golden.

I've had my 19.99 orange angle grinder for over 10yrs, it's not an everyday use tool, but it works. I picked up one of their 14.99 grinders and the flange that the washer behind the disc mates to was damaged, causing the disc to wobble. Used it as a wire wheel only grinder after that.
