I was going to hire a grinder to cut a few indian sandstone pavers to finish a DIY project but noticed a Â£10 one at B&Q and thought it was worth trying. Got two Bosch discs, expecting to chew them up but really pleased on both counts - the grinder was fine and the discs hardly worn after about an hours total use. I was thinking I'd be chucking the grinder away by now !

When they break, take them back and exchange for a new one!

sounds good! i have had good & bad cheap tools in the past, i guess its just a lottery but hey for a tenner its still cheaper than hiring one & it might even do more yet
