Can't THANK YOU enough for the clear, easy to understand explanation and demonstration of how to unbox and prepare to use this tool SAFELY. You are great at this!!!!!!
Thank you for explaining in an understanding way what the instruction manual made confusing! I'm slowly replacing my tool collection after they were all stolen the day before my birthday. My home is a fixer upper built in 1908 and it's only me to do the work it needs (while trying to be a good Samaritan by providing supplies & labor for free to my neighbors on their home repair needs. I have & will always believe in treating others the way I'd like to be treated/even if it's never reciprocated) I'd love to know more about any free tool give aways and I look forward to watching more tutorials from you!
Thanks for putting this up! Helpful to see how the blade goes on. Your finger nails though...I legitimately made an audible noise when the came on the screen
I know you'll have good luck with it. I have both a 6-amp Black & Decker and Porter Cable and can tell that's it's essentially modeled after their common design. Grinding and cutting have not been an issue and the 6-amps have been plenty of power. What I like that they kept for the Craftsman is the top hole position, which I've noticed not all 4-1/2" grinders offer. I've used the top position plenty of times.
@@edgarmartinez-rk2ry I don't think the reliability will be any better, but Ryobi has an electric angle grinder that's just as powerful but features a rotating handle with trigger switch. Depending on which angle you're cutting tile, that rotating handle design may come in handy for that. The model number is AG4531G.
Why is it so hard to find the "type 1/41 guard" accessory that the manual says you need to safely use a cutting wheel? Even Craftsman/Dewalt could not give me a proper part number.
I've been using this grinder for a couple of days. The positive: low weight, easy to handle with one hand. The negative: quite loud, not terribly powerful. Did I mention that its very loud? BTW, the cord is 6'. It's a SJT, so it's kinda stiff and retains a memory. The handle is cheap ABS. Not sure if I'm going to keep it. The Herc grinder from HFT is a better tool in every way for $5 more with a coupon. Edit: After using it more, I've decided to keep it solely for its form factor and low weight. It's easily the lightest grinder I have. Replaced the handle with a much nicer one from a Flex buffer. If or when I need another grinder to add to the stable, it'll most likely be the Herc. Very impressed with its performance for the cost of a large pizza and a few Cokes. This tool does have a place if weight is a priority. As I'm typing the video is playing in the background. For the life of me I cannot understand how this guy is recommending the tool, and for specific applications no less, without ever having used it.
thank you so much
thank you!
I have a porter cable and metabo grinders I'm getting a Craftsman to go with my collection

Today, Craftsman is rebadged Black & Decker.
I see where the model number is on my grinder (same as yours) but where can I find the serial number?

I agree the instructions
manual was not very clear.
One thing about craftsman is the life time warranty no other company can beat them

Yeah they look gross as hell.
About to use mine for the first time and had to come check this out.
Dear god, use that grinder on those nails my man!
Actually tried that. Hurt like hell
Jeff Ashley: Exactly. Why would a man like long, dirty nails?
