Forward planning~ NO!

Son bought an air ratchet drive for use with his compressor. The quick-release adapter is supplied by them, but see what happens when you install it. Someone wasn't planning ahead!
I have a 9" anglegrinder, but it won't fit into its well-made case, unless you remove the disk and guard first.
Is it usual for this sort of thing to happen?

A lot of them cheappy cases are like that. Just take a round file or rasp and notch the case to suit

Will have to do that, but lose the dirt excluding idea of keeping it in a case. He'll have to keep a cover for the end of the coupling. I can understand economising on components to keep the price down, but surely it doesn't cost much more to make tha case bigger?

pretty standard thing, sadly.
the Bosch PMF180E case only closes when one specific blade is attached to the tool - any other blade and you're screwed

I wouldnt worry tbh. Ive never had a problem with any of my air tools, ind i will guarantee they are stored in a far dirtier enviroment than his will be
