I have several of these in my shop and they are good value for money. You'll immediately notice that they don't rotate in your hand and are actually quite comfortable to use, despite looking too boxy to be comfortable. What you won't notice right away is that they last much longer than many other straight grinders and maintain their performance, rather than losing power over time and increasing vibration due to worn parts. I have one that's probably about 6 years old and I've thrown away a few other brand new straight grinders as their internals are worn out, but my CP860 still runs and has enough power to get the job done.
