I use the orange HBT 4 1/2" grinders every day and have one of their 7" auto buffers with a cup brush(thanks to a demo by Bill Epps). I wouldent trade any of them. A couple of years ago I blewup a DeWalt grinder 2 days after the warrentee expired. The HF ones are going strong and are a LOT less expensive. Just like everywhere else, some of their stuff is bad...some good.

Most harbor freight tools are cheap chinese junk. I'e had some things that broke quickly and have had some things that have done OK.

At the time of buying this equipment it was all I could afford and at the same cheap enough that if I get a few years out of it, it will have paid for it self. Also if it breaks, it is cheap enough to replace.
