SHALL 3 Inch High-Speed Cut Off Tool, 3.5 Amp Metal Cutter Tool with 3Pcs Multifunctional Cut Off Wheels, 24000RPM Electricl Metal Cutting Tools for Steel, Inox

First off, these cutting wheels are really sharp enough to cut metal and then I can cut through PVC piping without any issues. I had to add metal posts for my fence to reinforce it and while the poles I had were a bit long, this cutter cut through those poles like nothing, I was able to get clean cuts too! Once done, I noticed that with the 1 wheel installed, I was still able to cut through metal and then PVC pipes all with that same wheel. Extremely durable and a lot more durable than I thought it was going to be. The speed of cutting through depends on the type of material. I found that when cutting through PVC and sheet metal, it didn't take no time whereas the metal pipe too a big longer. However, the size and weight of this cutter made it so much easier to hold steady. I do like that this already came with cutting wheels and an allen wrench so that I can change them when needed too. I especially like the guard on this as it not only prevents metal from popping back at my face but will definitely protect me if any of these cutting wheels break. Functions and cuts just as it should and works way better than I thought. For what I paid and everything that I've used this cutter for, this was not only a great value but the fact that its still working after using almost daily for a month, definitely surprised me!

For the price it costs those little unit turned out to be tough as nails, it is a bit loud, but it just kept chewing through the steel with very little effort, (440 J2 carbon stainless, a real challenge for any cutting blade) I was surprised at how well it was put together, especially from a machining perspective, usually lower line tools are very rough in their construction, it's kind of like purchasing a pistol, the more money you spend the prettier they get, but at the bottom end they don't get the fine detail polishing, but you know what? When you pull the trigger you really can't tell the difference as to whether it's pretty or not, it works. Same deal here, except, it is fairly well finished for a bottom of the line grinder, lots of power and torque come as I said the only distraction is the fact that it is a bit noisy, now if you're cutting on a car in your garage or whatever it really doesn't matter how it is as long as it's getting the job done, but I wouldn't recommend using it at 3:00 a.m. in your upstairs apartment, I really don't think the neighbors would appreciate that.

Great tool. Easy to use; not too heavy; not very expensive. BUT... the safety guard will not tighten down and stay in one place. EDIT: I was able to replace the nut that holds the safety guard in place. Didn't think it would work because it looked like the problem was the threads on the shaft of safety guard. They looked worn down to me. But the replacement nut worked, and it tightens down properly. I'm upgrading my review from 2 stars to 4. I gave it two because I think the guard should be used. I upgraded to four because I figure anybody who needs this tool probably has access to a variety of nuts in their shop or at their local hardware store. I would have given it five stars if I didn't have this problem.

This is a nice little tool for getting into tight places. Just take your time with it so you don't break a cut off wheel

Cut just like I wanted it to. Great tool

Fresh out of the package and used ONCE, for a piece of plastic, which took only 2 minutes to cut, and the blade is ALREADY BROKEN!! When I attached the blade it felt wobbly, and no matter which way I flipped it, flipped the washer, and tightened down screw as far as it would go, it stayed wobbly. I thought maybe it's supposed to be like that? Anyway, I cut my small piece of plastic, and when I went to cut the other piece, it was sparking like crazy. Not the plastic, but the tool itself, without even touching anything! It was the blade hitting the protective covering, because the interior metal ring of the blade had completely disappeared! Poof! Into oblivion! No idea what happened to it! Now the blade is just hanging on the tool like a bangle. Luckily I only need 2 pieces cut and I have 3 blades total, but it's safe to say these blades are single-use. Not worth the money. You'll get better value for your dollar with a higher grade (more expensive) tool. ...or BETTER YET... just go to an actual hardware store and talk to an actual expert about which tool is best for your needs! He can't scam you any worse than you can scam yourself by buying cheap with no professional input.

Lots of power,it works great

I'm giving this tool a 3 star rating...not for the tool itself...but because of the cutting discs that came with it. The discs are too thin at the area (hole) where they slide over the shaft coming out of the tool...and then secured with the supplied set screw and washer assembly. When I 1st tried the tool after securing the disc onto the tool...cutting some excess plastic trellis (very short section). The disc began to wobble and I then tried tightening it down...only to see that it was as tight as I could get it. This situation made the tool dangerous to use without that disc being very tight on the shaft. I had to fit 2 different size (thickness) washers on either side of the cutting disc to allow me to tighten that disc so it would not wobble. I need to check if there are thicker discs available in this 3" size that will secure tightly. Otherwise I will have to return this item. Will potentially report my search findings of those thicker discs...and my further satisfaction with use. Good or bad.
