Stercorarius Posted December 11, 2016 Report Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'll run a Metabo all day everyday, and sometimes do. Absolutely love the grinders and the prices I got mine at. That being said I want to pick up a Walter and a Fein, but they are hard to find locally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Walter cordless grinders are rebranded Metabo, so no difference there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
