Glad you enjoyed it. It all depends on what you want. If you want long sustained use, you want to purchase a large capacity machine. More air means longer run time. And air tools usually list their minimal air requirements, I would go at least slightly over that. I have a separate video featuring my air compressor. You can watch that to gauge the limits of my setup.
@steelforestweldingandforge while it is true that large tanks will offer a long run time, I had an old 20 gal Sears dual stage fast recovery compressor that would run pneumatic tools for extended periods of time. I was able to use a media blaster on a utility trailer frame seemingly indefinitely. Sadly, I do not have that compressor anymore and went with a 60 gal. single stage upright that does not have close to the recovery rate but still does what I need it to.
Just bought that same angle die grinder today at HF for $8 and some change (except it had the safety lock)on clearance + 40% ITC membership coupon. First thing I did was remove the safety lock, to each his own preference I guess. LOL
00:52 -- So, I was cruising YT to stoke my confirmation bias, as I'm the proud (okay..."proud" is a bit much) new owner of the cheapest ($14) die grinder available in Stateside retail. The word "disposable" repeatedly crosses my mind as the very most fitting adjective for this...tool. ANYWAY--I noticed the exact issue from those horrid stamped steel wrenches (mine has 2): They're egregiously sharp. You know there's a future issue inbound when edge-breaking is too much for the manufacturer's budget.
The angle grinder from harbor freight is a must have..it's a good air tool!
Good to know I made a good purchase! How well has yours been holding up?
Where did you get the little grease pump for the lithium tubes? Thanks

Nice video...ty! What kind of compressor should I use for these tools?

Was the face shield from harbor freight too?
No that was from northern tool and equipment
If you have part numbers for the arbor and disc you used in this video, that would be appreciated.
Sorry I do not, but all of these parts were bought at Harbor freight.

you're not wrong
Both of these tools are die grinders
Angle die grinders are not meant for cut off wheels
if you say so
John, I agree with you! If and when that disc explodes, there is no guard whatsoever. I would prefer to use a sanding arbor with that tool.
I bought an angle one, it worked for about 2 minutes and it took a crap, they’re garbage.
I'm sad to hear that I didn't work out for you. But thank you for your feedback.
Why wouldn't u just use a $15 electric cut off wheel from HF that will break in 1/2 a year?
Sorry I don't quite understand your questions context. Elaborate please.
