- HART Tools Angle Grinder BROKEN After ONE USE!? (Tested ON STEEL BEAM) In this video we put your comments too the test by testing HART tools new 4-1/2'' angle grinder on steel I-beam! You said in a previous video that the right way to cut through steel I-beam is not to use a reciprocating saw like we did, but to use an angle grinder with a cutting wheel. Today we find out what the HART tools angle grinder is really made of and if it breaks down after one use! Let us know your thoughts on HART tools down in the comments section below and all about how we did it wrong as well.

Yeah I dont have an I beam laying around for me to cut. But as previously said in another vid, Hart tools are for those last minute midnight run where all big box stores are close. Gd demo as always gang!
Notification squad in full effect! Congratulations, being the “FIRST” on this video has nominated you to be Notification squad leader for today! Do your duty and share the video out with 10 friends RIGHT AWAY! Thanks, we appreciate you Juan!
I realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?
@Garrett Lachlan Meh I watch on flixportal. just google for it :D -lyric
@Lyric Ishaan thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!!
"We headed to the place where we can find the grinder that the person that would leave that comment probably shops for tools.... Wal-Mart!" 😅🤣
Who else suffers from a broken Hart? It’s a pain that only DeWalt and Milwaukee can mend.
Dont forget makita! Any three do the job
Makita mends the pain after the first 3 let you down
Got an 8amp Bauer grinder from HF. Has handled everything I've thrown at it. Admittedly, I've never tried cutting through an ibeam before. . . Don't think that is the right tool for the job.
Have both
@@iratevagabond204 you want a band saw for that, definitely not a job for an angle grinder. Even 1/4 inch for a 6-7 amp is slow going.
Now I wanna see the Hart recip make that cut with those Diablo blades!
Cool video idea.
It will
They kick into like a protection mode when the get real hot , I have one they just need to cool down a few minutes, they make a brushless one now that u probably wouldn't have to worry about overheating , they also have upgraded their chargers , they have several to choose from now , just letting u know , love the channel have a good one
If I’m ever trapped in a steel room, I don’t want this tool as my means of escape. 🤣
🤣🤣
Your not only a "Very Cool Guy, your a Very Correct Guy"! Recip saw all the way! Great vid Vince!
Thanks Nick! 👍🏻
Na cordless bandsaw
Just cus you look cool when you have the bigger one for the job...lol
I got the heart power supply the one like the Milwaukee top up, and also have their 20 volt fan got them all on clearance for like 10 bucks a piece and I got a 4 amp hour battery for 30 bucks with charger so that's my fishing tools I take them with me when I go fishing
i like using their flashlight got the big Hart lights and they are great for camping got the on sale for like 15 usd and i have their big batteries last me several days
@@niq872 exactly I got them on clearance and picked them. I love the power supply, my phone charging port died and could only wireless charge it so used the inverter to run house charger with wireless pad.
I mean I’m sure even Walmart would tell you no you can’t cut an I beam with a Hart grinder lol. This tool was made for home owners who might need to cut some ducting or tiles or something every once in a while, and I’m sure it’s perfectly viable for those purposes. This would be like taking a Kia Soul and criticizing it for not being able to pull a 4 ton trailer or something haha
I use the hart grinder for filing my long toe nails
😂😂😜😵
@@VCGConstruction
VCG construction: Hart grinder only used for light work such as cutting bolts.
Me: Light work consist of cutting birthday cakes and circumcisions
Excellent tip!
I bought a Hart drill, impact, sawzall, and flashlight combo with two batteries for 60 bucks, just to see. The very first screw i drove with it, was the last. Gave it to my neighbors kid for his birthday. He loves it. Cheap present for a teenager👍
Vince just didn't put his heart into that one. Get it, heart. 🤣🤣🤣
I use a Milwaukee m18 fuel 9in grinder and a cut off saw , but for tight spaces a recip is the way to go.
I would say that Hart sells light duty tools. An I beam is not light duty.
Pretty sure the Flacéd line of tools would have done better. Sadly though the batteries have been charging for months.
Drove 3 screws on April 2nd and my battery has been on trickle charge ever since! 🤣🤣
I would like to see the Hart brushless with that diablo blade trying to cut trough that I beam to compare with the other 2? I might do it myself later on but I like your videos!! 😁
Not a bad choice for tools that you know you're gonna treat REALLY bad.
As far as TTI making both HART and Milwaukee... Chevy makes both the Corvette, and the Aveo. There's a pretty broad spectrum of quality they'll put out.
You’re right, Vince. I tried cutting a steel lintel with my Milwaukee grinder. I quickly switched the tool.
I agree with you Vince in shop and controlled environment the sawzall is nice but in the field my metabo does the work in tight places or difficult places. like you said right tool for job
I have cut I beams all the time with a grinder, I don’t use cordless. I use a craftsman corded rear handle trigger grinder, and it works like a beast. I would love to see a review on that, as well as the DW718 miter saw from Dewalt.
Thats the point, it could probably be better but how about if you ain't got power close by, unless you got yourself a generator of power station supply, it would work....but this channel is about Futuristic innovation and better technology to make our job easier on the daily basis! Corded tools isn't for 2021 anymore.
@@vladimirreyes3565 that’s true! Then I would use a sawzall, or a metal cutting circular saw.
@@jacksmith2315 I haven’t timed myself cutting through I beams, it has been a while since I have done that. But I agree, a sawzall is much safer. I use the thick diamond metal cutting wheel, rather than the abrasive ones
@@jacksmith2315 plasma cutter is definitely the best way to do it. I have also seen people use cutting torches, but those are a little more dangerous.
Im a traffic signal technician and I use Milwaukee’s 2780-20 & 2785-20 every day and I wouldn’t waste my time using them on an I-beam. The grinders are great tools but the biggest thing I’ve cut with them is a 5 inch diameter bolt head. Now could I cut down a metal pole yes but normally I’m going for the K770 from Husqvarna.
I’ll take that feedback Jac, thanks! 👍🏻
Ironworker Doug here V. C. G. I think it is great what you guys do!!! I have my Ironworking tools I need for my work , and have a lot of my d. I . y . Tools for for my hobbies and projects ! Now Hears the deal !!! We use the portable band saw, DeWalt to cut a lot of rebar all day! I would love to see, Milwaukee ban saw & DeWalt ban saw go head to head cutting Rebar “!!! Not no 1/2 “ - # 4 ether make it go big # 10 or # 18 Rebar!!!! Thanks
Thanks for the awesome feedback Doug!
Idk who thought a grinder was a better tool for that job lol especially like you said about speed and the hot work permits...I've been on some sites that consider grinding hot work because of the sparks. Recip saw for the win
An M18 fuel angle grinder with a Diablo cutoff wheel and a high out output battery will definitely do the trick
Those Diablo blades are no joke! Used a Amped the other day on 12" Cast iron. Like butter, lasted every cut, worth every penny.
Hart is obviously just built different 😂
🤣🤣
Single use😂🤣
I just had to help with a huge demo job with an air handler on a hospital. All of the frame was insulated with foam around the I beams which kept the torches from working properly, no 220 so couldn't plasma cut the beams either. We tried grinders and the discs burned up very fast and there was many areas where a grinder would not clear the tight corners. The sawzalls were the quickest and most efficient way to demo the beams. It sucked but they most assuredly have their place.
I have a gas powered ... Cutting tool that would do it sub 2 minutes but the 1600 price point is a bit of a barrier .. I would grab one of my re-cip saws to cut that first before the Stihl
I thought the Milwaukee video with the I beam was really cool.
The balloon head that thought the hart grinder was the way to go is just inexperienced and needs to sit down be quite.
If I was going to try that with a grinder, I would go with a high end 15amp corded 9" German Metabo or German Fein 15amp corded equivalent.
Thanks for the video Vince !!!!!
Thanks Stephen we appreciate it! To be fair, the person didn’t necessarily say “Hart Grinder” ! 🤣🤣
Definitely used a sawzall a few times when I worked Demo to cut I beams. Worked fine
Vince, you should have used a Flex grinder.
I cut a 6” i-beam into 6 sections to build a narrow gauge locomotive. Didn’t want to burn up my Milwaukee grinder, which is also lithium powered, so bought a cheap $14 Menards Tool Shop brand.
I used Harbor freights cheapest disks, i think 10 for $5. Took about a hour continuous to make all the cuts. Grinder is still working, I fully expected to burn it up. i use it as my spare or when i need to do long continuous cuts.only went through 3 disks
Thanks for the feedback Kman!

The thing about hart for me is Walmart is everywhere. If I was outside of a major city without any tools and needed something I think I would try hart
Nothing I do is heavy duty
Home improvement stores show up just as often if not more often than Walmart.
In the US, there are:
4743 Walmarts
2296 Home Depots
2197 Lowes
That isn’t including all of the specialized power tool stores all over the place. If i have to drive 15 extra mins to find a home depot for a quality tool, I will.
@@timothydu9415 Plus Ace and True Value. I lived way out in the sticks for quite some time, we had an Ace, a True Value, and one of those specialist power tool stores that carries literally everything from DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, Festool and probably some others. They were even factory authorized repair for all of those and hosted Makita shows. All between us and the closest Wally World.
I replace old ladders and such all the time. The recip is the absolute go-to as I can avoid the usual hot works BS. While they may not be the same thickness some of these old installations are chunky as hell and I can assure you that you could go through a beam like that. Especially when you're using a decent saw and blades and not the shit I deal with.
I use Ryobi for my at home projects even though I have DeWalt tools available but I'm still learning my tools correctly. I'm definitely going to use the saw for making motorized bicycles
Good luck! 👍🏻
I use Ryobi, I just fix things around the house. Minor construction work. My BIL does it for a living. Milwaukee etc. Right tools for the right job.
I picked up the hart grinder on sale. Without 4 amp hour batteries it is pretty bad. The small batteries over heat after about 2 minutes of run time and you have to let them cool. However, for the price it is pretty good at cutting light metal with the 4 ah batteries. You still cant push it, nor expect it to be a corded grinder. It saves me a ton of time because I keep the grinding wheel on the corded angle grinder and the cut off wheels on the cordless so I am not changing them out every 5 minutes. They do sell a lot better charger now to, with the combo of 2 4ah batteries and a tool for 100 bucks. I picked up the hand vac to clean up mouse turds at camp :)
Thanks for the feedback Roger!
@@VCGConstruction I am still trying to figure out why anyone would say a recip saw is the wrong tool for any job, its usually my first pick.
Roger, there are most likely multiple reasons why they’d say it, but don’t waste your time try to rationalize it! 🤣🤣

@@EVnewbie I would but it was the only one they had
The brushless is way better. Got both
Framing a house beam came too big. Cut it with the tool I had. Recip saw. I don’t carry a torch in my back pocket. Good video.
I had the Hart angle grinder and I only used it for polishing and it broke in the use !!! But I have also have the hart impact and it’s holding up just as good as my Milwaukee it’s a hit or miss with hart
You asked and I'm replying. Grinder is a corded Metabo 6" diameter "flat nose" with a Weiler Ceramic wheel 0.045".
I have found the Weiler line of products to be the best value.
The cut I made was on a 1" thick plate 48" wide, I made the cut in about 36 minutes, I used about one and half wheels. Same reason that you pointed out . I have Victor Bulldog torches that will easily cut 8 inches of steel, ( have to use liquid oxygen tanks and things get frosty, from the amount used) but couldn't have the sparks going all over. So the grinder had to be used. I couldn't move the plate by myself. Weight about 800 lbs, all that I had to do was to cut a strip of plate. I haven't seen, and can't afford any cordless grinder that is "real". I can only imagine what is the cost to run a 9" cordless Metabo). I have some old monsters from the B&D industrial times. They are just too heavy to handle all the time. My choice is 6' diameter, I think they are the best in terms of bang for the buck. I have them from Metabo, DeWalt and Flex, everything is corded. The best way to cut an "I" beam is to start with a new wheel cut the "T" junction ( where the flange meets the web) from the flange plane, finish the sides of the flange, then do the web until the wheel contacts the other flange. Start on the other "T"point finish the flange sides. Try to only cut one plane at the time, otherwise is like to trying to cut a sliced pipe from the inside, too much material binding the wheel at once,. On the other hand cutting the pipe from the outside there will be much less material contacting the wheel at once. The cut has to be thought out before one begins and needless to say one must have a quality wheel to do a job fast. For homeowners anything is acceptable, so having quality grinders and wheels may not be necessary.
There are many circumstances that the easiest and fastest equipment may not be choice for many reasons.
One has to consider all the implications before choosing how to proceed. Knowing all the available options is a necessity.
I appreciate your perspective of looking at equipment because you understand what it takes to deliver in the "real" world on a day to day basis. Keep up the good work.
18 years ago I cut an I beam twice like the 1 in this video with a an old bosch 9 inch corded grinder using 2x1.9 mm thick 230 mm (9 "inch) discs it took some doing to get it done cos that damn old grinder was a bit heavy. It's about time I got rid of that old grinder I had it for nearly 35 years when I see a reciprocating saw doing something like this I wish I had those back in the day
We were actually looking at that HART 20V tool less than 5 hours ago. $44 I think we will look at the Ryobi or Dewalt brush-less versions instead. The sale on the 18V Ryobi ONE+ HP brushless grinder is $99 down from $119 and the Dewalt brushless is $199
I mean if you are looking at Ryobi or Dewalt then you obviously aren’t the target market for the hart brand. Hart is a good ENTRY brand especially if you only use the tool here and there.
We used Milwaukee sawzalls with Torch blades to cut through everything. Especially when we were D&R'n stuff. That's said, if I was gonna cut a beam like that at home, I would use my torch.
I have a I beam at home I need to cut but have been honestly holding off as I only have a grinder albiet a commercial / contracters grade one .
Steel a masony is pretty much what I use it for but the I beam is going to be a challenge.
If you’re going to buy home owner grade tools then ryobi can do anything you need done around the house, and I would even say they’re good for about 3 months of solid every day use if you’re an apprentice starting out and after those 3 months, you’ve got enough experience and money saved up before you decide between a Dewalt or makita set, then you can move up to Milwaukee or Metabo. Flex would be mentioned in the top of the line too but they haven’t been around long enough yet to know if they’re going to last. Anyways, love y’all’s videos, keep up the good work. 👍🏻
I agree with you, that's not the right tool but could be done. Personally i did it with my Dewalt DCG418X but took me more than ten (10) minutes to cut it along the H-shape, but with my Milwaukee Circular saw 27882 took me less than five minutes, my dewalt grinder battery run out of charge, but my Milwaukee didn't.
I agree that the sawzall is a good way to cut an I Beam I am interested how the metabo hpt 36v Sawzall would stand up to this challenge
That was a very dangerous way to use an angle grinder. Luckily it was a very weak cordless grinder.
Next time watch a safety video on grinders before using one. Angle grinders are VERY dangerous.
If a reciprocating saw is able to do the job, then its good for that job
A metal cutting circular saw is superior for most cuts...an I beam might be difficult to get blade access to the center area though try a milwaukee m18 model....you won't use a sawzall again..
I very rarely use an angle grinder for anything and I don't think it would be the right tool for that task. however out of curiosity I would be interested in seeing how a professional angle grinder (like the flex or milwaukee) would do against that I beam.
That onboard wrench storage is a cool idea, maybe I wouldn't be grabbing and twisting to change the disc if I had that...
I use a Sawzall. I keep my torches at home in my metal fabricating shop. You must have viewers from the Flintstone age, we call those Barney Know-it-all Rubbles, lol.
I ain’t got no I beams that need cut but there’s a couple pieces of u channel sticking out of my yard. You think it’ll handle that or should I just get the Dewalt
If I’m not mistaken this is the exact same grinder as the ryobi 4 1/2 angle grinder same price too. They’re great for removing light scale and cutting rebar but that’s about it
The fastest way is hands down a quickie saw/chop saw/gas powered concrete saw but like you said about fire, it does have emissions and a lot of noise.
I do structural welding and cut ibeams. NO A GRINDER DOES NOT CUT THEM FASTER! but they come in handy depending if the I-beam is already installed.
I'm an ironworker and I gotta say, watch me be the first dude to bust out a sawzall for an I beam. You always have to clean up torch cuts man it takes like 7 to 8 minutes to make a torch cut and clean it up. 2 and half mins with no clean up sounds like a dream.
Where is the previous video that shows cutting the I beam with a sawzall? What's the link I can't find it.

@VCG Vince, your patience with the window lickers that would use a grinder instead of a Sawzall is amazing. I've owned a fuel grinder since 2015. Love it and always try to work it into the job. My fuel Sawzall and a Diablo or Milwaukee blade for cast iron or steel with the carbides is the tool for the job. Hands down. A torch really? & then the grinder to clean it up, a napkin for the drool, then some powder on the bum, fresh changiepooh, and so on. We get it done, look good doing, and our customers tell their friends when they see how perfect it looks. BAMN !!!! Patriot Custom Homes...."Deep in the ❤ of 🇨🇱"
LoL@ you bought the grinder that the commenter would have used.
🤣🤣👍🏻
I regularly cut i-beams ALL the time and usually just reach for my handy dandy Dremel 4.8v works like a charm!
I've used a Dewalt grinder with a metal cut-off thin curf blade to do small jobs like rebar... but an I-beam? Maybe a gas cut-off tool with a 15"+ diamond blade, but not a grinder.
👍 they appear to be tools for Small jobs around the house 🏡
if i was going to cut a rsj steel beam yesi useing a angle grinder is one way but if you was going to use one i would use a coreded one but a bigger more powerful gringder like a 230mm or a 9in it do the job not a problem i used many in my past but the one i love the most and its a old one is my dads hilti gringder one of the best
great video always fun to watch keep p the great work guys
i think i might have to do a swap with you guys i send you a budget gringder to test one that you dont get over your side
I love it! How often do you use your GRINDER.. to CUT... an I beam? I believe it's all in the name my good sir, but I think you already knew that!
Love your accent. I'm Australian and I feel our accent and yours which sounds like a close Boston accent are the best.
I would have gone with a sawzall as well for cutting that I beam. Vince the only thing that went wrong here was that you use the standard grinding wheel instead of the cutting wheel. I have two right angle brushed grinder from ryobi. And kind of knew that the wheel you used in the demo was not the right one. I do highly respect your feed back on the tools you out and rate them. And it's not to put anyone down either. And even with the cutting wheel it may be longer to get cut through that type of material because of the thickness.
Cool. Just used a 1950's original sawzall (414) and 9" diablo clean wood carbide blade to take down a 16ft evergreen...like butta.
7 inch milwaukee grinder with a pipeliner cut off disc. The kerf is a little big at 1/8 but that would be the most efficient way to cut those i beams if you're not gonna use a torch.
Isn't Hart Ryobi with a different color? Also, I think Dewalt or a Skillsaw Recip saw could do the job.
tools have more mppff when you use a dual range battery like a 4/5/6 amp one, a 2amp on a grinder was really like trying with the smallest possible toy. then you have tools optimized for 2 ranges of 21700 batteries, which are really getting powerful. i never had to work with an ibeam, but i have seen youtube vids cuttings techniques using a 18v grinder
It depends and what you need done the fastest would be an oxy set with an 6mm cutting head but you will have sparks
A plasma cutter will do it as well but it'll be slower than the sawsall
A grinder will do this cut but you'd want at least an 5" and up grinder, preferably power cord tool cordless is pretty useless at this cut.
You'll want an 1mm cutting disc and that's for it's cutting speed and longer life, you are using an 2mm disc which is super slow and you'll go through it fast too fast.
so a grinder that's 5" to 7" 1mm disc will fly through this as it's 3 cuts top bottom then through the center.
An 9" will probably do this as 1 cut straight through but some people get scared with 9" grinders
However the above will throw off a lot of sparks, which if you don't want or can't have sparks then you can't use the above methods.
The other problem with grinders is space you need to have access to everything and a sawsall depending on blade length might cut through this I-Beam in 1 go.
SPace is usually the bigger problem rather than sparks etc, if you can't get a grinder in anyway then you won't be using a grinder in the first place
I could use my 7 inch gigantic 20 year old Milwaukee 15 amp rear handle grinder with a slicing blade but those sawsall blades look much safer especially if you were making a cut midway on a long beam where the blade might try and get pinched. I hate exploding abrasive wheels.
I've used grinders for thicker material but not any I beams ill grab a recip saw if I don't have my torch. But I also prefer not to go past 1/2 inch material with a grinder
Same test with a Milwaukee grinder!!!! With the hart blade!
What about a bandsaw? Would a bandsaw even work and if so, would it work better?
Yes thats the correct tool like you said ya don't need a guy on fire watch if you would use a torch
Vince held nothing back and I love that. Grinders would cause sparks and at a small chance start a fire.
So Vince I don't necessarily disagree on your preferred tools for this but if you are going to make a case here you should use a good grinder, and a good wheel. also bring your work up to a good height like you did with the sawzall. Give the grinder a fair chance.
12inch concrete saw 🤣 can do the job with a metal cutting disc 👍
How about using a handheld bandsaw for cutting I beams
Yeah I like my sawzall better than my angle grinder. I had a milwaukee m18 non fuel grinder and burnt the thing up in a year. Then I bought a corded dewalt grinder and I abuse the crap out of that thing still works like new. Also for corded grinders to make myself unplug it when I change the wheel I zip tied the wrench to the end of the cord so I have to unplug it and so I don't loose it.
My blade of choice would’ve been a Lennix laser 8012 because of the height of the blade. That extra height helps keep it stiff, and when it stays rigid, it keeps the teeth in contact with the material you’re cutting. I cut a lot of cast-iron as a plumber, and I wasn’t always able to use chain snaps, so Lennox blades were the gold standard, or Milwaukee/Diablo if I couldn’t get Lennox
Well I work shut down on power plants, and I use Milwaukee all day. And we do the exact same thing plus way more with ours. We rarely use grinders because you need a fire watch and what not.. We way rather use a sawzall especially cordless. Because believe it or not, the hardest thing to find in a power plant is power/ 110 plug. So that's a good trick for sure. But honestly a far comparison would be to use a 6 inch grinder, cordless. Not a 4 inch. Because a four inch grinder isn't really great for cutting its more for grinding or cutting small things. On top of that when you do cut a I-beam with a grinder its aggravating af to cut beams with. And if those spammers had actually cut one before they would know that.
I would say either a recip or parter saw are the 2 best options in my opinion
I am a Millwright I use my grinder to damn near cut anything and everything I also use a Milwaukee fuel grinder with regular cut-off Wheels I've got a very very big Milwakee vanish
WHAT'S UP "VCG" FROM EAST LA....THANKS FOR THE INFO....GOOD JOB VINCE.....BLACK & YELLOW BIG DOG.
Wuz hatnin big dog
What do you mean by the tools timed out
I have used Milwaukee torch bi-metal blades with a RIDGID Octane Reciprocating saw to cut steel beams .. it worked just fine 😳
Hey Vince, I'm not sure that angle grinder would have fit in there to cut that I beam anyway. Do you know what I'm trying to say Vince?
I do agree with you vice and craftsman has a 40 volt platform and I use craftsman power tool
How are you today Tammy?
@@VCGConstruction I’m doing good today
I would be interested to see the I-Beam cut with the Milwaukee 9" M18 cut-off saw, or the 14" MX Fuel cut-off saw....
Try the new Hart Brushless Grinder it most likely would do better than the brushed.
I cut beam all the time. Small and large. And i use all type of cordless power tool. Mostly Milwaukee and Dewalt. There 4-1/2 inch will but it will take for ever with a few batteries. But there not really deep enough to cut through the flange to the web . but a 6 inch Metabo will eat right through it with enough blade to flip that beam and go inside that 90 degree to the other side and finish the cut.
I weld for a living. I use my angle grinders every day. Most are around the same size as the Hart. 5.5 amps.
I wouldn't even attempt cutting that beam with those grinders.
I also have a Makita 15 amp 7" grinder. With a 7" or 8" cutoff wheel it would probably take me at least 15 minutes. Maybe even longer. The motor housing on the tool is going to feel like it's on fire.
I switched from an abrasive chop saw to a Evolution carbide blade chop saw it's so much faster than my old 14" abrasive chop saw.
I hate those recip saws because they shake you to death but they cut fast.
Lenox made a video where a guy cut an old car in half with their bi-Metal blades. Pretty quick too.
How hot were the Flex and Milwaukee recip saws after you cut the I Beam?
What is an I-Beam? A real heavy piece of metal. It takes an awesome tool to cut it, period.
Yep
Matabo 6 inch slicer would walk through that I beam as a welder I would know but I could definitely see how the recip saw would come in handy and just saying been welding all my life and have never seen anyone cut I beam with a recip lol 😆
