This is a nice compact grinder. It has good power and is comfortable. The adjustable exhaust port is a good feature. The rubber coating reduces thermal transfer. This is a nice feature, especially in cool weather. The only minor critique I have at this point is the safety lever hangs up on a bit when depressed.When in the full engaged position it sits jut in front o the pad it is supposed to rub on. This means that it has to come up and over the front of this pad which requires additional force. It also quickly wore off the orange paint on the rub pad and does not slide terribly smoothly across the pad. This is certainly not a deal breaker by any means but it is something that, if improved, would make this tool even better.Five stars.
