Great little grinder.I also have a Dewalt 4 1/2 grinder. I like the porter over the Dewalt because of the extra power it has. The only thing I don't like is the paddle switch lock, it is a little hard to unlock. ( it may just take a little time to get used to )

It has a nice compact size with lots of torque. The safety switch is awkward only if you're used to another type. It is secure, no worry about picking it up running by mistke. Well balanced and smooth running. Use it on job, hasn't needed any work or parts in 2 years

I have 7 Porter C power tools and use all most everyday. They get full of abrasive fiberglass dust and none have needed any maintenance. There are other good co's like dewalt but the combination of esthetic and functional design, nice styling classic grey and black, plenty of power and reliability while priced similar to others.
