    I was really excited for the straight die grinder. Love the 90°. Was disappointed with the power and output I've seen from other review videos. Probably need to use it first hand to know, but might stay with my 90° and hope for a more powerful Gen II straight.

    • @HowtoAutomotive
      @HowtoAutomotive  4 года назад +2

      MrSubaru1387 So far the Straight one has been awesome. It bogs a lot less than the 90° die grinder. And I had a chance to put it to a serious test and it kicked butt.

      Enright Automotive your comments really don’t have much foundation to them as this tool doesn’t have a guard so using it with no guard isn’t smart doesn’t make sense!! Lo
      l.. the cut off wheel he is using is a very common tool used in the auto industry for doing exactly what he’s doing with bearing races. This tool also has a soft start/stall feature act very much like a air tool

      @Enrightauto 4 года назад

      MrJak427 ok whatever you say. I’ve seen what those cutting wheels do when they explode. Just offering some advice from someone who has experience with the negative effects when not using a guard with a cutting wheel.
