Not sure if it's YMMV or not.
But was at the Richmond Hill location last night, these were on sale for $50 (down from $100 - the same ones in the HD flyers a wk or two ago). They only sell this in a package of 2 (they call the other one as "bonus"). They still have quite a few on hand as of yesterday.

Anyway, some stores are still selling this for $80-$90 for ONE (regular price).
They are the 4.5" ones.

For $25 each, you are probably only going to get a Jobmate one at CT. Great deal IMO.

Anyone wants to split one, PM me - I live in the area (haven't bought one yet) but I only need one.

The HD in Milton had 2 Bosch grinders including 8 grinding wheels for $50. There were still some left few days ago when I was there.

Didn't see these ones there, but that looks like an even better deal. I'm assuming Bosch and DeWalt are similar quality?!?

:arrowu: This Bosch deal have been going on for a while now...I am pretty sure it was mentioned in RFD before...

Saw a few at Markham East location last week...very tempted...but already have one...

I would say the DeWalts are higher quality than Bosch, especially when it comes to cordless power tools.

If I didn't already have a Mastercraft grinder I'd be all over this. It might be good to buy one for yourself and give the other to a family member for a present.

I wouldn't exactly call the Dewalt better than Bosch.

there's also the makita 2-grinder pack, with 2 bonus diamond wheels.
not sure of the value of those, but HD assoc said approx $30-40 each making it a better value.

still not sure...

dewalt vs makita (no bosch available)

i assume from the previous post,
bosch > dewalt > makita??

Why do they always seem to sell these things in pairs? What am I going to do with a second angle grinder? Maybe I can get a grinding party going. Hmmm, that doesn't sound so good.

I have a Bosch that's about 17 years old.

Although the grinder works well, due to the metric threads on the spindle, I have had more difficulty finding attachments and cheaper items on sale were often not compatible.

I have no idea if this is an issue with current models or if accessory availability has improved. I haven't looked in recent years.
It might be something to consider pre-purchase.

Like I said in the other post, if i didn't already have a grinder I'd be all over this DeWalt deal.

Fact is, I already have a Mastercraft grinder that only gets occasional use and spending money on a DeWalt one doesn't really make sense. I personally really like DeWalt tools, but I can't afford them usually so I end up with cheaper stuff like Mastercraft grinders. :)

That's so true...I have one DeWalt grinder...only used it once since the purchase...more than a year ago...can't justify buying 2 more! lol...
