Norman,
I have used both the craftsman adn CH brand, both of which are nice. the
craftsman is about the same as it's chepae rcoutnerpart,and I think that CH
builds them for Craftsman.
I could be wrong.
I know CH builds for husky "Home Depot" so if you see a cheapr price on an
air tool at walmart, then by all means get it there.
I actually bought my one die grinder at walmart. just because I was in the
middle of a headgasket job at 2am, and my old die grinder took a crap, and I
needed something fast.
but I have had it now for 5 years, no problems, and I use it at least 3 or 4
times a week at the bodyshop.
try to get a angle head one though. theyu are better, but more expensive.

I recently bought a Sears Craftsman air compressor (6hp/30 gallon/upright)
and am now looking at air tools.
I want to get a die grinder (1/4 collet, 22K-25K RPM) and see a wide range
of prices. Harbor Freight carries
Campbell Hausfeld and Central Pneumatic in the $20-25 range and
Ingersoll-Rand for a bit more. The Sears
Craftsman brands I've seen are in the $60-75 range. My main job for the
grinder is to do a light port and polish
on some heads for my '68 VW.
I know you "get what you pay for" but I doubt I'll be using the grinder
enough to justify the Sears price. Are any
of you familiar with the Campbell Hausfeld or Central Pneumatic brands? Any
info would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Norman
