Re: dewalt 5" grinder

I like the ez on and off of the disc guard on the dewalts and the switch.
They really are hefty.
I worked in a shop that almost exclusively used metabo's talk about being spoiled.
The shop I'm at now uses the Dewalt and a few ryorbi's.
I like the switch on the Dewalt way better than the ryorbi's.

But in the fatigue dept. I cant hold the Dewalt nearly as long as any of the others.

At home I have a porter cable and a black & decker+ few $10 jobbys.
The first two are identical, my hands are limited and beat and these two have real easy to hold grips on them.

None of them run as smooth and vibration free like a metabo if you dare to pay up.
