Jeg's Reversible Extended Reach Cutoff Tool
I'm in the market for a new extended reach cutoff tool. I currently have the low end $40 HF version and it sucks. Absolutely no power/torque and takes forever to cut anything.
The HF Chief version gets good reviews and the price isn't bad at around $130 without a coupon. However, there is a similar version from other vendors that offers a reverse feature on the blade so you can direct the grit away from you in any cutting orientation. There are several brands that offer it and most are over $200+ except the Eastwood 51680 and Jeg's 81143 versions which are about $180 and $130 respectively. The Eastwood has solid reviews from several sources online. Haven't been able to find much on the Jeg's other than some Amazon reviews. Does anyone have any experience with the Jeg's tool? I am pretty sure they are all made in the same facility in Taiwan and should work equally, so I'd rather spend the difference in price on some decent cuttoff wheels.
