  • We are using these angle grinders almost daily and just wanted to give you our impressions after using them for a while. You can't really go wrong with either and we are definitely still using both, but you should know the difference since the prices are different. Hopefully, we can give you an idea of which might fit your needs better after seeing how we are using them. YMMV. Have a great day and be safe!

    I bought three of the Bauer grinders on sale, two of the smaller 7 amp ones for like 13 bucks and the one you have for I think 24.99 or something.
    I like having one grinder with a paddle wheel, one with a cut off, and another with a regular grinding wheel.
    They have all done their job well, the smaller grinders you gotta take your time cutting through thick stuff but they ain’t bad.
    Great video you *almost* sold me on the herc.

      Thanks for watching and your comment! Yes having them set up so you don’t have to change wheels in the middle of a job is definitely the way to go! Appreciate you! Have a great day and be safe!

    Good to know these differences. The Bauer is almost half the price with current discount making it a great deal, but for the time being I'm happy with my $9 grinder as a hobbyist. :D

    I want one for power carving wood. Which would you recommend?

      @@TWC6724 thanks for watching and your comment. The main thing I would want for power carving is the paddle switch. After that for me the Hercules is just slightly more ergonomic, it fits my hand better. So that would be my recommendation but you couldn’t really go wrong with either one. We appreciate you, have a great day and be safe!

    I don’t think the rpm or amperage is as reported accurately on the box.

      It was late at night when I first posted. Sorry for the cryptic message. What I meant is that the actual RPM and amperage is far less than that which is reported. UA-camr, “Project Farm “ does a great job testing grinders.

      Did the same. Insane deal. Some guy tore it apart in a review, and the internals were as good as a milwaukee!
