Yah for sure eh?   ;)

I don't see any point in buying cheap tools either. And I wasn't
looking to cheap out. I'm sure I'll use the grinder more than once.
<grin>

Speaking of tools, buying a Hobart MIG sure made the job of learning
*basic* welding techniques for my engine conversion much easier. A big
plus. Some of those cheaper ones have poor wire feed mechanisms. And
as I'm learning, setting the wire speed is crucial. A variable pot in
that regard is worth the extra bucks. The cheaper ones may not have
that feature.
