This is bad news in my opinion.
The (short term) good news is that in this particular store they were selling off thier Milwaukees and I got a heavy-duty 4.5" grinder for about 1/2 price ($50, model 6148).
They had other Milwaukees marked down similarly. I don't know how long they have been selling off these, but at this store, it looked like near the end.

That kind of wording excites too many of us older guys! Joe :crazy:

They must be moving the direction of Home Depot pushing their Ryobi brand tools. One power tool brand I'll never buy again is Chicago Electric. That is a piece of junk.
