3 Inch Cut Off Tool

This is a serious tool. I like that it has some heft. I also like the ingenious on/off mechanism.....it's hard to turn on so it can't be accidentally started by some kid, but turns off pretty easily, which is good. It's also very easy to change the cutting wheels. I used it for some light metal cutting and found it to be easy to manage. Highly recommended.

GREAT PRODUCT. WORK VERY WELL AND DOES WHAT I NEED FOR SMALL JOBS. GLAD I BOUUGHT IT.

For the price it costs those little unit turned out to be tough as nails, it is a bit loud, but it just kept chewing through the steel with very little effort, (440 J2 carbon stainless, a real challenge for any cutting blade) I was surprised at how well it was put together, especially from a machining perspective, usually lower line tools are very rough in their construction, it's kind of like purchasing a pistol, the more money you spend the prettier they get, but at the bottom end they don't get the fine detail polishing, but you know what? When you pull the trigger you really can't tell the difference as to whether it's pretty or not, it works. Same deal here, except, it is fairly well finished for a bottom of the line grinder, lots of power and torque come as I said the only distraction is the fact that it is a bit noisy, now if you're cutting on a car in your garage or whatever it really doesn't matter how it is as long as it's getting the job done, but I wouldn't recommend using it at 3:00 a.m. in your upstairs apartment, I really don't think the neighbors would appreciate that.

Great little cut off tool just wish the switch was easier to use and not get stuck in on or off position does get warm after short use so do have to let it cool down but good for what I needed

Cheap but does exactly what I needed it to. The included discs are pretty decent had no issues using them. Does get little hot after a while but using it you expect it to get warm.

The nut that holds the blade seemed tight, but actually left a gap that caused the blade to warble. I went to my local hardware guy and found some copper lock nuts that filled the gap, bought new blade and was able to finish the project I bought it for. The tool is good value.....the blades not so much so. It xmcame with 3 blades. I was cutting corrugated aluminum the first blade lasted less then a minute before the center core broke away from the blade....the second one lasted almost a minute and cut 6" line before disintegrating...good blades cost about $10 each and these 3 blades were included with a $35 tool. It would have been a better experience if the blades weren't included. PS after getting new blades discovered the problem was blade can't be secured due to too large of a gap ...I'm going to Lowes to see if I can get a lock washer to act as a spacer ...if that doesn't work, I'll need to return it. New blades coming tomorrow and excited about finishing my project

I'm giving this tool a 3 star rating...not for the tool itself...but because of the cutting discs that came with it. The discs are too thin at the area (hole) where they slide over the shaft coming out of the tool...and then secured with the supplied set screw and washer assembly. When I 1st tried the tool after securing the disc onto the tool...cutting some excess plastic trellis (very short section). The disc began to wobble and I then tried tightening it down...only to see that it was as tight as I could get it. This situation made the tool dangerous to use without that disc being very tight on the shaft. I had to fit 2 different size (thickness) washers on either side of the cutting disc to allow me to tighten that disc so it would not wobble. I need to check if there are thicker discs available in this 3" size that will secure tightly. Otherwise I will have to return this item. Will potentially report my search findings of those thicker discs...and my further satisfaction with use. Good or bad.

Used this to cut some of the bump stop frame mount on my off road rig to fit oversized struts on it. It cut through it great once I got the hang of it. This was my first time using a grinder and I'm very please with the results. The grinder worked through the whole job and I used all 3 included blades to finish the job, the metal I was cutting is very very thick. It made a nice clean cut it did take some time, but it was my first time ever doing something like this. I definitely would recommend and I'm very happy with this little machine. I ordered more blades, I did try cutting something not so thick and it went through it like butter with a hot knife. The blades fit secure and felt safe, blades are thin so make sure to cut in a straight line and don't bend it while grinding.

works great, powerful,

I was very surprised to get a product like this on sale and seems to be manufactured with great quality. Definitely a lot of value for me and I will use this tool for years.

Worked first time in used it. Second time it don't.

Cut off tool works well and the small size was very handy when I had I cut a sway bar link which has a very rusted bolt. Only downside, and the reason for not giving 5 stars is the internal electrical wiring. Sometimes the tool won't start straight away and takes a couple of seconds after you hit the switch. Must be a poor contact somewhere. Otherwise works well.
