I always use corded hand sanders although I've had cordless drills and saws for years. As soon as I arrived, I bought a diamond cutting disc and immediately got to work. The first thing to do when replacing the toilet was to cut off the damaged steel toilet flange. Did. Next, several steel rods that were used to hold the windswept trees upright had to be cut. Otherwise you would have to use sawsall or a cutter. Diamond cutting discs are a cat's meow. Expensive yes at $13 - But without changing worn grinding wheels 5 times to cut a post. For the seller's price, this grinder was a steal. I recommend. Let's see how long this tool lasts. The cost of portable battery powered devices is still high. But good aftermarket batteries (available here) can save you a few valuable bucks. Dewalt, Rigid, Milwaukee get megabucks for their batteries even though lithium-ion cell costs have dropped significantly. As a homeowner, my cordless tools go unused most of the time. I stopped buying Chinese Harbor Freight cordless tools a long time ago, although I could buy a couple of their tools for one of theirs. They worked, but had a short life - mostly unnecessary batteries. I've been buying Milwaukee and Dewalt since I came into the market. Never looked back. I was the Craftsman Tool guy for decades until I found out Sears was going bust. Now I'm curious how long the parts will be in stock. Until recently I was able to get parts for a 65 year old Sears Southbend lathe. OK. It's about the mill. I hope he survives me and my wife should give him to an heir.
