Thanks for your feedback
Bought this to cut rebar and not have to carry a torch. I had been using a 110v grinder plugged into a car inverter and pulling the cord around was a pain. Number 6 rebar with a 110v grinder cut through in about two minutes. With this at least 4 minutes and after about 5 cuts it needs a recharge. Also, overload light comes on all the time. It would be ok for light duty, but it is not a 'real' grinder. Guess I need to get a torch after all (cuts #6 in 30 seconds). It is expensive as convenience tool. Don't expect it to work hard all day.
