B&Q Do their own Brand one with variable speed for £25ish.. I have the older version and it's the best grinder I have had ( Bosch, B&D, Clarke not as good)
TT

I might invest in another one soon.
My problem at the moment is I have £1.58 in my build account. I need to sell a scooter I have to inject some cash. Cheers Ginge

Yes the B&Q Power Pro range is a lot better quality than their old Power Devil stuff
The flap disk does put quite a load on the poor angle grinder .... Poor buggers don't stand a chance ------------------------------------------------------------- Know how it feels Ginge .... Very, very soon my build pot will be empty once more ( Paying for my last major purchace ) Been spending quite a bit this year .... Just keen to give the build a boost this year. Besides the IVA, I have no more major spending to do, it's all here

For anyone contemplating getting a new 4.5" grinder check out Aldi tomorrow. They have one in at £14.99 and don't forget that all Aldi electrical equipment has a 3 year guarantee on it . i was going to my local B&Q today for one but now I'll hang fire till tomorrow and get the Aldi unit.

I have given up buying Aldi stuff. It just does not last.
Hand Files.. Droped one and it shatterd! DVD Player. #1 did not work , #2 lasted 40 days. Compressor. Worked for 30 seconds then burnt out! Jumper Pack. Lasted 18 months and would never start a car properly. Think there have been a couple of other failures or underperformance issues.. TT

I bet I hold the record for the most grinders burnt out during the build......
8 so far and still counting....... Admittedly they were cheap as chips..7.50€ each I know I know, I could have bought a good one instead of loads of cheapies. But I also burned out my best Bosch one.

The only good tool i've had from Aldi to date is a pillar drill even though i did bend the shaft on my first one, my fault not clamping the steel properly, and they changed it straight away.
Must have gone through 6 grinders over the last 4 years, including Aldi ones, since bought a Makita grinder for £45 and its been great. Always worth buying good gear. Just bought a nice big lathe for Saturn, coming on Wednesday, was going to buy one that Ash had for sale but needed to pay by credit card. Gonna be like xmas again....... AndyH
