REQUIREMENT: needs to confine to NA electrical standards
So I'm looking for a multipurpose grinder. I used a shop that had air and 99% of my regular work revolved around the grinders, torches and welders. Mainly I am missing 4.5" angle grinders and die grinders. Very easy to wield and utilize anywhere. Currently I have space and a budget for smaller things. It is hard to justify a mini air compressor I would really want a larger one (space does not permit the desired size).
Thus I was poking around for a die grinder and liked the idea of an electric model. Issue seems that a right angle die grinder is rather impossible to produce? I see the inline models which are fine but seem rather cumbersome to use.
Is there a reliable company that makes a 2 in 1 angle grinder that can work small with a 1/4" chuck and also support the sanding and cutting functions of 4.5" discs? I'm basically asking for a lightweight angle grinder that isnt really on market or do I really need 4 tools (1 air tank, 2 die grinders and 1 angle grinder)?
Tool Steel? S2 vs Chromium Vanadium Steel

Hello, I'm trying to pick up some bit drivers for security/tamper resistant bolts. There are super cheap sets and fancier sets. Naturally scale and branding adds complexity to the pricing.
Some of the nicer products call out materials just simply as "Chromium Vanadium Steel" or "S2". I believe S2 is highly specific yet all of these are subject to if and how they are tempered. Is there a clear leaning of what materials bit drivers should be made of? I understand S2 has great impact resistance. Yet S2 is a costly material than other alloys that could function similarly.
I'm just trying to assign utilitarian value to type of metal used without knowing exactly that they tempered this steel a certain way to gain this type of property.
Thank you for the input!
