Angle die grinder

[andeep]

I'm after a new angle die grinder to take roloc discs after my Clarke one packed up. Looking on powertoolsalesuk.com, they only have 2 right angle die grinders that are made by Chicago Pneumatic that are in my price range:

Does anyone have an experience with either of them? Theres not much difference between the 2, but the second one has a air consumption of 4.4CFM, compared to the first one of 11CFM!

I dont have any experience of those, I have a couple of snap ons
With those linked there is very little diff in power, so why the big diff in air cons.? beats me,
I bought a real cheapy so i could have three on the go loaded with various things and apart from the lever bending and slowing the air flow it has been ok I just gripped the lever in the vice and made it a little like a channel to stop it bending.

I've not used a CP angled head die grinder but own various CP air tools. They are amongst the best that I have used along with ingersoll rand tools.

I have a sealey professional, had it for 5 or 6 years now. Has a nice soft touch handle on it too. It is better by a long way over my standard sealey straight die grinder. I was around the same money you are looking at spending. I have recently purchased the orbital sander version to save time swapping over from grinder to sander as it has proved to be a good piece of kit for the money.

I use a cheap £15 ebay jobbie, few bits have come loose and it's loud but I use it a lot and abuse it. I'm getting a couple more as I'm fed up swapping attachments.

I have Chicago Pneumatics cp875 and i really like it. It's very small so it will fit to tight spots and has enough power for 50 mm roloc discs and small wire brushes.
