but evidently they have changed the handle color.

Is that the one you bought? Or was it one of the cheapies like this
one?

Oh, it was the cheap one. I always buy the cheap ones and they've
always been good value. Till now.

So you managed to skate using the One Use Tools and are now upset you
got one that didnt last more than One Use?

...
Or you can buy this one

Oh ... "Metabo"! I've always heard great things about them. But $138
is a bit more than I want to spend.

Very very good thinks

Im sure it will outlast 3-4 of the HF grinders.

Now lets see here...hummm....$138/22.00 = 6.2222222

So you can buy 6 of the HF grinders for one Metabo. Given the
apparent life span of each HF grinder than 10 yrs...

Well, I used to get 10 years out of them, but this last one was more
like 10 minutes.

So you got a bad one. And are now refusing to "take another chance"

...

And thats the end of my preaching to the choir for today.

OK and that's the end of my ranting.

Bob

Take the crappy one back, and exchange it for one of the ones I
pointed out as being decent units, shrug and tell yourself..."I got a
bad one, **** happens"
