Obviously mine is 9"

I wouldn't mind this model too. Good price that at around £15 cheaper than the normal Screwfix price.

Makes a change for useful stuff to be on here as opposed to Lidl corner.

thanks Hitch

Good find Hitch :thumbright:

I'm amazed that that company can use that name to trade though as it is remarkably like HSS

Found this forum by accident, was searching for grinders and it came up in Google!

Ordered one last week from hss, really useful and well made little grinder, plus you can buy replacement brushes cheap on eBay, so no reason why it won't last forever!

Got a diamond blade too, for a fiver you can't go wrong, and made a nice job of cutting some thin bits of masonry when I built a water feature at the weekend!

So thanks to the forum for finding the deal for me!

Seems to be... they both have a grinding wheel included, so should be identical.
