Much better than the cheap Chinese ones. However, it still sheds wires and stretches a ton to an almost flat shape when using a standard 20,000rpm grinder. The node version is much better than this one. To update. I have this in an RT angle grinder and the knife version in straight. This one just blew up on me, thanks for having the fuses, but I still had to ask my wife to pull 9 wires out of my face. Stay away from it. If you had better luck with port freight,
