| I need to find out which of these diffrent brands of tools are the best from the people that use them. Iam just going to use it at home for diffrent jobs. Thanks to all that answer. |

I currently have a Ryobi that I like a lot. 4 years no problems so far. Commercially I mostly used Makita, Milwaukee, or Bosch. Harbor Freight cheapo grinders are actually pretty decent. I've burned a few out, but that was abusing the hell out of them, cutting through I-beams and the like. |

One of the better Bosch models. They have several at each size most years and the more expensive models are noticeably better for serious use. Not that the consumer models are lousy, just not as good.
As long as you get a true commercial grade tool it's mostly up to what you put on it to determine how well it works. Most of the good grinders are more than powerful enough and reliable enough for normal use. |

The HF ones are louder and vibrate more then the Dewalt and Makita, but I have yet to kill them (and I am not nice to them). The HF ones feel more substantial then the Dewalt FWIW. Since we are doing a fair amount of fabrication work right now, these things all get a workout. |
