302B Angle Air Die Grinder, 20,000 rpm, 0.33 hp, 1/4" Collet, Rear Exhaust

I like the size and feel, very comfortable to work with and performs flawlessly. Just make sure you have a quality compressor with good psi. Ingersoll Rand is a quality brand and this represents good value.

Short version: I bought two of these in Feb 2018 for use at my business. They're still going strong and work great. Long version: The HF cheapie die grinders are fine for the guy at home using them once in a blue moon, but they don't hold up at all for regular use. I wanted to get something better than the HF junk but was not willing to spend hundreds for a true "industrial" model. These have fit the bill perfectly. Both units are primarily used with roloc pads doing general metalwork. One has a 3" roloc and is primarily rough sanding. The other has a 2" roloc with some sanding but is primarily used for deburring and polishing with scotchbrite pads. For how we use them power is never an issue but speed modulation is very important. These have been great for that. Interestingly, the more expensive IR models I considered have multiple reviews complaining about a lack of speed control, but I've had no complaints with this model. The front exhaust has been a plus for our use. But, I do not have auto-oilers on our shop lines. We just manually add a few drops once in a while (probably far less frequently than we should). They are not used all day every day like a production fab shop, but they definitely see daily use. Honestly though, if you're using a tool for multiple hours every day you should be buying WAY more expensive industrial level air tools. As others have mentioned, the collets do have a tendency to stick. This hasn't really been an issue for us. We're not changing things that often and when we do they break loose with a tap after loosening the nut sufficiently. In summary, at this price point I can't imagine a better bang for the buck. They're good quality yet still very affordable. Speed modulation is great. They are compact and light weight. They have a study, solid feel to them, not loose and sloppy like the HF tools. I will definitely buy these again if we need more.

Works well. Nice little grinder.

Great grinder small and lightweight good for tight spots

Good quality. Not as much power as I would have liked, but good value for the money. The adjustment wrenches were not the right size so I had to sand them down to size. The box did have metal dust inside it, and on the grinder. Not sure if it was used or not, but still works fine reguardless.

Very good die grinder, good power and has a decent weight to it. I’ve put decent amount of pressure on it and doesn’t slow down. Great tool for fabricators and welders.

Best grinder for the money , no issues and I’m a dealer technician. Don’t forget to grease it and use oil

Has been working hard for me as a full-time tech for over a year, still going strong. I have gone through many, many wire wheels/cups in the meantime. The trigger lockout can be a touch annoying at times though, and don't expect this to be a powerhouse.

Fonctionne très bien et d'une bonne grosseur .

Car fix

Works amazing and powerful

Good tools as always from Ingersoll Rand
