Solid grider, but Hitachi cheaped out:
I've owned this grinder for a few years and haven't had a problem with it grinding through concrete and steel. It's a workhorse, though maybe a little bulky compared to Hitachi's newer grinders. One thing that has come to bug me to no end, though, is its lack of a carrying case. It would have cost Hitachi a measly dollar to blow- or injection-mold a case to hold the grinder and a few different abrasive grinding discs, but NOOOOOO.

Great Grinder:
Price is little steep @ $90 but is well worth it! Paddle switch is very well designed it locks on easily one-handed ( I tried dewalt's and it did not work nearly as well) Seems a little heavy @ first but is really easy to handle Wish they included a case though Works well with sanding kit
