Does anyone have that grinder, any good??

Quite often a grinder is the easiest way to cut out old pipework but it's always a bit nerve wracking with the 240v ones when there's water in the pipe :shock:

i have the dewalt 18v so havent gone for the ryobi cut off tool
i use an ultra thin discs if the ryobi is 80% off the dewalt it will be a marvelouse tool
it has cut out pointing easily cut 1" flat bar easily 8mm bolts a breeze
copper pipe would be a doddle as would steel be

I have a Ryobi grinder it a handy tool but eats batteries even the big lithium iron ones but saying that for the convience it provides its great. If you have a lot to do go mains as the grinder is not as fast or strong.

Mine burnt out when a few weeks old and was repaired quickly by Ryobi been no trouble since, shame the price has gone up I paid £34 for mine from Ryobi Direct.

Mine did a great job of cutting a caravan chassis in half we dug up while putting some power points in a marina last week.

It's only for the odd copper pipe and cutting flues to length so it might be worth a punt, cheers guys :thumbright:

I used a 1mm thick cutting disk and it surprised me, just how long one battery lasted.
