I have a corded 4.5" Dewalt at work, a cordless 4.5" Dewalt at home and a corded 4.5" Craftsman at home. All work great, but the cordless Dewalt devours batteries. I will say as far as cutting blades go the Metabo brand cut off wheels are far and away better than anything else out there - better than Norton, Dewalt, Harbor Freight (they suck) and anything else I've ever tried. So, if their blades are any indication, then TxFirefighter may be on to something by using their grinder!
