Chicago Pneumatic CP7269S 7-Inch Angle Sander - Heavy Duty Air Powered Grinder for Metal, Wood & Concrete - Perfect for Sanding, Grinding & Polishing in Auto Shops & Construction Sites

I thought this would be wonderful. CP makes quality product and everything I own by CP, if it has not been working for me for over 10 years, it is because I have not yet owned it that long! Here is my gripe about this grinder.... I use air grinders as buffers (I paint aircraft) My primary is a Dewalt multi-speed electric, and I love it! There is torque on tap, and it does what I need it to do. Those of you who have buffed poly-urethane paints know what I am talking about! I needed an air buffer for jobs I do on the Flightline, (where electric outlets are scarce) I bought this one because I liked what I read. Well, what the documentation does NOT say is that there is a safety button that is an "OSHA" requirement. One must hold this in in order to pull the trigger to make it go. SERIOUSLY? I am a professional (hence the "for professional use only" sticker) I know how to release the trigger, I know how to pick the thing up so that I do not turn it on by accident. I do NOT need an annoying little button to prevent me from using this in the way I would like to use it. Anyway, I send the thing back and bought Ingersoll Rand used for $100 less, and so far, I am happy with it. It does not have the torque of electric, but that was not why I bought it.Hey, these are a little spendy but you get what you pay for in an air grinder. I FIRST bought a Harbor Freight grinder and it lasted about three months. Now it's in the scrap metal pile! Wife says that A cheap person pays TWICE and that sure is Right when it comes to a good air grinder. This one is so SMOOTH , it's just a pleasure to use. I just wish that they weren't quite so expensive because I need a 3/8" pistol grip air grinder too but my old CP has lasted for some 35 years now so I will have to keep using it as I can't afford another one on my Social Security check.This used to be a good product but something has changed. The last 2-3 we bought have not performed well. Less power and speed.great value!Excellent
