Review on πŸ› οΈ HERZO Industrial Power and Hand Tools: Universal Surface Grinding Grinder by John Floyd

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not high enough, vacuum cleaner not attached properly

The product deserves 3 stars. The performance deficiencies were too great for me to leave. First the good: - it attaches securely to my old Milwaukee 6095 without an adapter - looks well built and solid enough, especially for the price. Haven't used it long enough to test durability. - I liked that you can slide the protective cover to the side to cling to the wall. Now for the bad: - All this is too small in height. My 7" sanding cups are large enough that the guard bristles don't come close to the ground when you lay the sanding head on the ground, meaning they won't snag on anything while sanding. I released the clamp and was able to lift it up a bit on the neck of the grinder, which worked for some, but I still couldn't get the bristles down to the ground when the grinding bowl hit the ground SOME of the dust, but most of it flew off right under the bristles . It's better than nothing, but it could be a lot better. The hole for connecting the vacuum hose seems to be an odd size. Maybe it's just my vacuum (1.25" hose), but the end of my vacuum hose was exactly the same inside and outside diameter as the fitting on the fairing. The only way to connect them was to use the adapter that came with them to connect the two hoses VERY STRONGLY and then I stapled everything together to keep the hose from coming loose. It worked well but was jittery and of course a pain to plug and unplug every time you start and finish a job.

Pros
  • Brush ring protects against dust: Dust protection is connected to the brush rings to prevent dust from entering.
Cons
  • disappears
