Cheap 3" mini grinders

[winchman]

keep arguing , chances are ebay refund you and let you keep it

I won't be fobbed off
Thats why I bought it via ebay and not Ali Express, as I know ebay will help if I have any issues

get ebay on the online chat , they always resolve it easily for me

Contacted Vendor on Ebay offered me a 30% reduction as it doesn't work! Looks like it will be a Ebay claim.

That’s a common response and obviously completely worthless, along with an offer to send out a replacement but it won’t be here for xx days - if you accept the replacement offer you’ll end up just outside the time limit for lodging a complaint by the time the non-delivery of the replacement becomes apparent. There are plenty of these scammers on eBay and they know how to get round the eBay rules.
Having been caught out with this one I now get my complaint in early, no negotiating just a full refund.

 

[winchman]

Just refunded me no need to return

^ Oh, I wish I'd held out a bit longer now.

Started at 30% then50% now 70%.

Now I am suggesting we get eBay & PP involved, I am still valued customer.

Well if nothing else you guys have persuaded me that I need the genuine Bosch version!

 

[500e]

Did not need it really, peer pressure got to me.
So whatever I get back is a bonus

They're good units, the Bosch. I have a couple. So damn handy on occasion.

Not only does mine sound like a bag of bolts it vibrates, the only reason they call it brushless is because they don't supply a brush ready for when bits start falling off it. Smooth running it is not!

I think I'll give that one a miss, then.
Beats me why they think an M5 spindle bolt will be man enough for the job.

The bosch is m5. No issues with it.

I have the Bosch one, it's excellent.
The only issue is that the generic discs do not fit.... Of course n!the centre's slightly larger on the Bosch by a fraction of a nats. The generic discs can be made to work but don't expect them to just drop on.

Doesn't make M5 a less than silly choice, no matter who makes it.

That might well be the generic discs. Apart from the bosch ones, I've used various branded discs that have all dropped on with no problems.

Same here.

That’s what I keep thinking. It’s not something I’d use regularly, but it would be really useful to have. Anyway I’m sure I can justify it….

 

[winchman]

I wonder if the batteries will fit anything else?

 

[decca]

Bought one of these a few weeks ago and have had no issues with it so far. Battery lasts longer than I thought it would and have cut through 1/2” bar no problem. Can’t complain for the price. Must be the luck of the draw.
