Okay, so I've been using this CRAFTSMAN V20 grinder for about a year now, and here's the real tea ☕
First off - battery life is MEH with small batteries. Like, 5 seconds and it's done? Come on! But slap on that big 4.0Ah battery and suddenly it's a beast that runs for decent chunks of time.
The build quality? Surprisingly solid for the price. It's got that satisfying Craftsman heft without feeling like you're lugging around an anvil. Been cutting metal sheets like butter (well, maybe more like firm cheese).
Changing discs is stupid easy - no tools needed which is perfect when you're in the middle of a project and don't wanna fumble with wrenches.
Now the quirks: That thread lock button? Total diva. Gotta play with it just right or it won't cooperate. And while it's not winning any speed races at 8,500 RPM, it gets the job done without shaking your arms off.
Final verdict? For $40 and light-to-medium duty work? Absolute steal. Would I use it daily on heavy jobs? Nah. But for weekend warriors like me? *chef's kiss*
