Craigh9916 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Nice Kruton, I love me some Alice and Chains man.... I have this and it's great a bit heavy but it's quality Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Plus better metal lolSent from my iPad using TapatalkThat remains to be seen. I got rid of my Klein Linesman and Sidecutters due to quality issues. I have always liked their stuff but sometimes the bottom line gets in the way of quality.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olletsocmit Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Not a power tool but definitely a tool for painting. Does anyone else use these they got a ton of great reviews. My issue is that I went through about 10 of them at Home Depot and every single one soon as you extend the pile, it starts to wobble and shake a decent amount. I'm just worried that it's brand-new what's it going to do a year from now....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaljunkie Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Looks more sturdy than the fiberglass pole I bought a few years ago from Lowes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 That flexvolt is definitely more powerful, but sounds like it's much heavier and bulky than the fuel. I would say they both have their advantages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbfitter Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I have the Fuel angle grinder. Its a nice grinder. Doesnt bog down when you put pressure on it. Does love to suck a battery dry though. It will empty a 4.0 battery in about 15 minutes. I mainly use it to cut cast iron pipe. It has more than enough power to cut that like butter.

Bremon Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Exactly; pros and cons. FlexVolt should be stronger but the battery life isn't great. This 2783 is to replace a 2780 I sold a while back; this upgrade is the price of the 5.0s which I wanted anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbfitter Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I should clarify. The Grinder I have is the 2780. I really like it so far. I only bought it 3-4 weeks ago and have only used it a handful of times. Why did you sell it? Just wanted the braking one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Found a good price for the 2783 and someone who was willing to buy the 2780 for enough that the cost of upgrading was only the price of batteries, which I want 4 more of (2 more now).
