Found a killer deal on a grinder, worth it?

So I was browsing the clearance section at Home Depot and spotted a DeWalt DWE402 angle grinder for $50. Normally these go for $80+. I've been needing one for occasional pipe cutting and rust removal. Is it worth grabbing, or should I wait for a better deal? Seems too good to pass up.

Paul, that's a solid grinder! DeWalt is reliable, and $50 is a steal. I've got the DWE402 in my shop and it's handled everything I throw at it. For occasional use, it'll last you a lifetime. I'd say grab it before someone else does. You'll find yourself using it for more than you think.

Yeah, Paul, I'd jump on that. I'm still learning, but I got a similar deal on a grinder last year and it's been clutch for cutting bolts and cleaning up welds. Just make sure you get a good set of discs and always wear safety glasses. Can't beat that price!

Thanks guys! I'm convinced. Heading back tomorrow to grab it before it's gone. Will, you mentioned you use it for woodworking? I thought grinders were more for metal. What do you use it on?

I actually use it for shaping and carving with a chainsaw disc or a flap disc for smoothing rough edges. It's a versatile tool if you're creative. But mainly for metal parts on my jigs. You'll find uses for it all around, trust me. Great pickup!
