Tenner is no money at all for a 5" grinder. Hurry whilst stocks last!

When this got posted on hotukdeals last night a very few seemed to have actually got them - stock was gone in an hour or something after it was posted on there Sad.

a 5" grinder? That's an unusual size.

I presume you can use 4.5" disks on it.

5" is pretty common and yes, you can use the slightly smaller discs on it too.

If the safety guard is removed then bigger discs can also be used*

Why on earth did I click that after I'd seen the word 'silverline' in the url???


Why?

Why??

WHY???


I'm still of the opinion that (give or take) you get what you pay for. My (65 quid) 115mm dewalt grinder is going strong after 8 years or so, whereas a wickes one (about £20 I think) I got given lasted about 3 hours before it started going about half speed with no load...

Still, if you view tools as single use (if they work) and disposable then silverline will be right up your alley.

If it moves and it shouldn't - duct tape
If it doesn't move and it should - wd40
If all else fails - hit it


That's like the complete set of land rover special tools.

It's known as a 'Farmer's toolkit' round here.

Proper job....

I'd have thought what with needing a fairly complex degree to be a vet you'd have understood the basics of Venn Diagrams!
Seems that's not the case; luckily, I've been able to correct it for you!

Past experience has shown me that £10 angle grinders are disposable, you keep the disc and change the grinder rather than the other way around........
