This pencil die grinder was a good choice for me. It is durable and able to withstand being used in a ship yard, all of the abuse in a tool bag and all the paint dust and it still functions properly. My only gripe is that this tool swivels around while using it making it difficult to hang onto at times. More use has smoothed out handling. Good tool.

The head of this grinder is not greasable. After only about 2 hours of use there is terrible gear noise coming from the head of the grinder, and it no longer spins freely. The 1/8" collet does not grip well at all and the work tool will slide in and out while you are operating it. I have had mixed luck with Astro tools, seem to use good designs built at a strict budget and that can result in some quality issues. I would not recommend. There are good reasons why two identical looking tools that license the same design have vastly different price points, and these small grinders make it very obvious.

Works very well and the angular head allows for easy access to what would normally be difficult sanding and grinding locations. Well made and comfortable to hold. Highly recommend this tool to be used for hard to reach spots. I use it to clean up those tough to reach, around corners and negative space locations on stone sculptures.

Use this pencil grinder alot building hot rods. A guy I work with bought one on the Snapon truck and paid 3 times as much for the same exact tool. Never been let down by Onyx tools either.

Just tried it out and seems to be well built and easy to operate.

This was the only tool I could find small enough to port small displacement 2 stroke cylinders and the exhaust transfer ports without spending thousands on professional porting tools. This thing is awesome, I will say the control is in an annoying location and I have trouble with inadvertently turning up the air pressure.
