    Not sure who delivered my item, but the box was not taped shut, or its contents hidden by a cover. I love the product, but NOT HAPPY with the way it was delivered.

    This is one of the best angle grinders i have ever bought!!! I have been in the fiberglass industry for 30 some years now and this is very good so far. Hit me up in a year or so on if it lasts.

    The environment this tool operates is very harsh. With daily oiling and care, we have had very good longevity. Will continue to order.

    Works great with 3″ soft disc. The spindle lock is a good idea.

    The tool feels very comfortable. I use it for sanding, and it works great. I would like to have a 5/16 chuck option.

    I used it several times in past week, it has great power for its size. It has a quality feel and a quality sound when full throttle. My only complaint is where the locking switch is located.

    I have not had to use it yet, but I have had no problem with a Ingersoll Rand product.

    Good robust design. I have a small fiberglass shop and we really are hard on it and have had zero problems. I tried one and bought two more because it has held up so well. Also it has a lot of grinding power.

    Only thing I don’t care for is shaft lock button is right where you naturally put your thumb when using it. It’s not a show stopper.

    Works good. I like the locking mechanism for the spindle. Only need one wrench to change attachments.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThere are plenty of other die grinders that are significantly cheaper than the Ingersoll Rand but their quality is obviously cheaper and their performance leaves you disappointed. Do yourself a favor and stick with a brand that makes their living producing quality air compressors and tools. It’s worth the little higher cost and considerably less frustrating.

    I have been using a cheap harbor freight die grinder for a while and another brand that came with my compressor and they were loud and under powered. This die grinder is amazing, very quiet, and very powerful, push the push button lock makes it very easy and fast to remove and replace ends on the unit.

    Very good little tool. I have always bought the cheaper ones but this time spent a little more money and I’m slapping myself for not buying this sooner.

    Works perfectly, for a mid grade grinder it’s impressive. Been running her for a couple of weeks now and haven’t had any issues. You can stop it with enough pressure but you should never push on it that hard anyway. Industrial welding.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersDon’t waste money on the cheaper ones, this one is nice! My old Partsmaster blew a seal and spring after 8 years of abuse. This one is similar in construction. I’ve been a mechanic for 40 yrs, trust me. plus parts are available.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWorks well.

    Pros:
    – Pretty quiet
    – Feels like it has plenty of power. Haven’t had any issues there.
    – Light weight!
    – The grip is comfortable

    Cons:
    – It’s not free
    – Only bought one

    I have purchased this after “misplacing” my matco .5 hp 90 degree grinder. This tool has the same amount of control and surprisingly has had enough power to grind materials using the green roloc pad with full pressure. It’s just as quiet as my old matco one. I wish IR made a larger grinder however since my only complaint is it’s compact size. My matco grinder was about double the size making it easier to control. But at almost half the cost, this is a no brainier purchase. Also the hose sound insulator it comes with is useless. It only reduces the noise slightly and falls off with almost every use.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI was reluctant to spend $130 for this, but I was wildlysuprised at its usefulness. I bought it to do some fiberglass work on my boat. Before starting that I bought a few abrasive pads and thus far I have given new life (an Easter Metaphor) to about dozen hand tools I was about to toss due to rust. One was vice grips that I used to do fiberglass work that were drenshed in epoxy. A wire wheel (use safety glasses!) a they are like new. Great little tool. Amazing in its many uses. Easy to change attachments with press button lock. Love it. Killer tool.

  32. DewittSmorgon says:

    Easy to chuck up new bits, but it does take a wrench. Plenty of power to run a 5″ sanding disk…in fact, it will blow the rubber backing plate apart if you don’t watch out. The instructional material is completely useless, so if you don’t know what you’re doing…get online and find out. They give you a 50 page safety manual in at least 100 languages (maybe I exaggerate), and all that is CYA for them. Useless to you.
    BUT — it seems to be a great, compact, powerful little tool and I’m happy.

    Works as expected for the price. We ordered and use a roll disk pad holder with this unit works for our needs. Delivered promptly. I would purchase from this seller again.

    Very smooth trigger control that actually controls speed. Easy to lube and grease, very sturdy axle lock button for bit exchange. Tools provided for disassembly accurate. Paired with some carbide burs for race bodywork trimming extremely precise cutting and fast work or flap discs for brqke caliper cleaning. No kick back during grinding if applying some pressure. Very easy one handed operation but easier to steady support hand on head of grinder. Overall very pleased as usual with Ingersoll Rand, as are all of my air impact tools since tool truck air tools are just rebranded IR usually.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our Usersa little bit of background i am a welder for caterpillar and i’ve been in the welding fabrication business for 10 years. this little guy packs a punch! my favorite feature is that it has a lock button, so you don’t have to try and fumble around two wrenches just to switch out tool tips. just one wrench and you got it. it has a lot of power to run .030 cutting discs, wire knot brushes, sanding pads, bur bits you name it. i would definitely recommend this to everyone. enough that i actually am writing a review for this.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis grinder is bad a– it flat gets with it. The balance and feel in your hand is great. The trigger is very easy and smooth. Ive had other grinders before and none come close to this one. The chuck key button makes it so easy to change out different type of pads,polish ,and buffing pads. I recommend this to any one looking for a good angle die grinder. I will never use another off brand again. Ingersoll Rand is my choice for air power tools.

    I bought one of these die grinders and it great for about a week, then the gears went bad, and it started growling really bad I liked the balance and the power so much I bought another one, and will send the first one in for repair. I love the power it is great for deburring.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersI needed both a straight grinder and an angle grinder, so I first ordered IR’s Edge series, which are a fraction of the price of the Max series. Big mistake. The straight model had a trigger that was unusable. The safety latch was hard to manipulate, and the plunger was very sticky. The collet on the angle model was very difficult to get loose after only moderate tightening. In fact after the second try the smaller of the included wrenches bent. I returned both and ordered a 5102 angle grinder and a 5108 straight-shaft model. They are wonderful. The triggers are smooth and the safety latches easy to use. The shaft brake on the 5102 makes tool changes easy. I wish they could figure out a way to put that feature on the straight-shaft model. I used both of them all day yesterday blending machined aircraft parts at work, and these fine tools almost made the job fun.

    This is the best die grinder I have ever used. First off the tool has excellent balance it’s very maneuverable and easy on the hand. Other pluses quite (sounds more like a dental drill at 90psi), rear exhaust so your hand won’t freeze up. Very well built, it’s a solid piece of equipment. The only con I can think of is that it can be difficult to grease the unit, it’s using one of those very small grease fittings so you’ll have to pick up an adapter of a small grease gun such as one used on mountain bikes.

    You cannot go wrong hear though I love it. hundreds of uses.

    I try to get the best quality as much as I can so I usually end up with tools that will last for a long period of time and actually have nice “features” that are usually good compare to cheap version of the same kind of tool. The quick change which only require one wrench is very nice. This grinder run a lot quieter than cheap model I had used before and on top of that it will not freeze your hands like a lot of metal bodied air tools usually do…

    Golden Review Award: 20 From Our UsersI purchased this to use at work. We use our die grinders often, and the quick change of only needing one wrench is very nice. The tool is much quieter than my older die grinders and not as high pitched. Excellent power and balance makes it easy on the hands. It also doesn’t freeze your hands like most metal bodied air tools do.
    A great choice for someone who wants quality and dependability in an air tool.
