Just watched a $60 angle grinder explode on me mid-cut
Was cutting rebar on a backyard patio job in Houston. Cheap harbor freight grinder. Blade seized, sparks flew, the guard cracked. Now i got a dent in my workbench and a bruise on my leg. Anybody else learned the hard way to spend more on grinders?

My first angle grinder was a $30 special from a pawn shop that literally had duct tape holding the handle on. I was cutting some old fence posts when the wheel just straight up launched across the yard and buried itself in the neighbor's shed wall. Spent the next hour apologizing with a six pack and a new grinder from Lowes. Lesson learned the hard way too.
