Angle Grinder Brands: Knockoff Makita vs Makita, Milwaukee, Dewalt, Ryobi, Bosch, Craftsman, Ridgid, Metabo HPT, Workpro. Grinder performance compared cutting through ½ inch rebar with 5 pounds of pressure. Tool power/torque compared using a grinding disc with incremental increases in pressure up to 20 pounds. I purchased all of the angle grinders to ensure a fair and unbiased review. So, thanks for supporting the channel!

Let's be honest. A lot of us watching these just in hopes that the tools we own don't actually suck. Love the content!

I know what it takes to make a video like this, and I want to bring attention to how concise your edits are. No extra fluff or nonsense, right to the info, right to the point. Great video, very scientific and compelling. Thank you for all your efforts, they do make a difference.

[annihilator]

One thing I'd like to see is the cheapest and most expensive tools within the brands too. Like DeWalt XR and non XR. See where each of them fall in the lineup.

Todd, you deserve so much credit for the editing and narration of these videos. It's like someone challenged you to make a video that only showed what absolutely mattered and nothing more. You cram so much valuable insight and entertainment into your videos and most of us don't even realise because we're glued to the screen. You should be giving lectures to Corporations on 'How to present what actually matters'. Kudos mate!

My favorite part of farm is the inventive fixtures he makes. It's amazing how much work he does behind the scenes to take the human factor out. Thank you. I'd actually be interested in a video going over your favorite test equipment and how you made it.

I've watched every video on this channel for the last 4 years. I'm not even sure why. Most of the things reviewed are not things I intend to buy, but for some reason it's kinda relaxing and fun to watch PF methodically test a bunch of stuff. Thanks for the great videos!

[jewittm]

I just want to say, vibration is such an underrated consideration with tools and I’m glad you include it. High vibration tools can wreck your forearms and elbows and spending a bit more to avoid that can save you a ton of money and pain in terms of PT. Source: in PT for elbow issues caused by a demo project last year.

Idea: Use the laser RPM meter to measure RPM under load when cutting, it would be interesting to see how close some of these grinders came to stalling

[Jeremy-uzcn]

I love that you added in the vibration testing. It's an often overlooked fatigue and joint stress factor that greatly factors into the overall workability of a tool.

[Washman-jwhl]

Every time I watch Project Farm I'm blown away by the test setup's that are prepared. This channel is second to NONE!!!

[BYOTools]

I LOVE your testing techniques on this one. Great job as always.

[redstagriding]

I bought 3 dewalt grinders, and 3 metabo grinders for my welding business in 1997
Burned up 2 dewalts in less than a month. Returned all of the dewalts.
The metabos are still going strong only getting new cords occasionally and new brushes about once a year.
Love my metabos.

[hamzamujagic]

This man right here puts an insane amount of work in his videos and testing. Amazing.

[davidp]

I watch a lot of different YouTube channels, and this channel is by far the most comprehensive, most thorough, most unbiased and most informative I've seen. Todd really puts a lot of time and work into his content and doesn't cut corners.

Nothing but respect for this man and his work.

[electronicsNmore]

Every time you upload a new video, I wonder what cool testing jig I'm going to see. :-) Great job as always!

[NativelyBornAmerican]

Your videos never fail to impress me. You’re my “go-to” whenever I’m in the market for a new or replacement tool, etc.
Thanks so much for these in-depth practical reviews! They outshine the spec/marketing only reviews by a long shot!

[aaronruple]

Perfect timing. Been thinking about a grinder and wasn't sure if I wanted to extend my current Ridgid platform with their option. Ridgid, at least in this tool choice, looks like a solid buy. I really enjoy your testing setups, to the point but not overly complicated. Thank you!

[ApplepieDevTeam]

As a tile guy this comparison is extremely applicable to my life. Thanks as always my friend :) I currently use a Milwaukee for all of my tile needs. And have had the same grinder for 5 years now still runs great!

[richardalexander]

We've been using one of the Milwaukee grinders for a couple of years on a fabrication project, and it has been very impressive. Just ordered a second grinder so we won't have to change disks between grinding and cutting.
