Default New Rotary

Not big on posting pictures of my purchases, but I was pretty damn excited about this one.

















The Dynabrade is advertised at 4.9lbs. However, it feels a little heavier then my old Metabo which is supposed to be 5lbs. The weight on the receipt says 8lbs, UPS label says 9lbs, and my scale says 7lbs. Id say 7lbs is right, definitely not 4.9 or 5. Either way, this thing is VERY solid. The head is all metal which is really nice. I love the threads on the handle too. I was always worried I was going to strip the Metabo handle because of the small threads. The speed dial is easy to read and adjust. I also like how it says the actual rpms instead of 1, 2, 3, etc. I really like the trigger a lot better then the switch on the Metabo. I also like how you can put the handle on the top as well as both sides. Im sure Ill use that sometimes.

Now I haven't used it yet. But comparing it to the Metabo in terms of how it feels in my hands and build quality, this thing is a TANK. The Metabo is like a tiny fragile baby compared to this thing. Cant wait to put it to use!

I've heard good things about the Dynabrade. Is 1000 rpms the lowest setting? What's the range of rpms?

The dial is 1000- 3000. But if you dont pull the trigger all the way then it wont go up to 1000. So I think thats why its rated at 0- 3000.

Cool thanks. I know you said you haven't used it yet but do you think it would be easy to feather the trigger to run under 1000 rpms?

Dan, you should have bought this in the first place, its just like my Black&Deckers but a little lighter, congrats on the purchase.

JL, its just like my B&D so you you can feather the trigger very easily.
