You’ll get there with age. The reason I have 6 grinders is because over 30 years I’ve changed my mind on what I like the best and still have all the old ones. Only 3 are from the last decade.

Dangit, I gave my last one away to a friend when I upgraded!
That’s the one you throw a worn out flap disc on for “polishing”
And battery adapters on Amazon are well worth the $15. My old craftsman C3 runs quite well off a Milwaukee M18 battery.
Its the smartphone mentality. Everything must be conVEEEENient, cost be damned!
No, it’s the guy-who-wears-pants-and-spends-a-LOT-of-time-in-his-shop-making-things mentality. Skirt-wearers who spend all their time in dance class wouldn’t understand.

Grinding sparks up the skirt to the ballsack, there's a thought I never needed to have. Thanks, Scott.
I had 10, I sold off the 4 Milwaukee corded 5" and 1 old full aluminum case 7" Milwaukee because I had not used them in several years. It was a good trade, I got just enough to buy another M18 battery.
It very much is. It takes an exceptional shortage of critical thinking skill to limit your abilities to get a job done how many batteries you have. I store mine in grinders.

I trade dollars for convenience, every single time.
I use an air carton stapler to close the brake kit shipping boxes. I am annoyed almost to the point of wanting to throw the thing in the trash. They only reason I don't is because I'd be more annoyed worrying that a package might fail.
If I use a conventional air hose, they are heavy, awkward and drag on stuff. If I use a super flex poly air hose, they are convenient at the box table, they are annoying and sucky everywhere else. They don't lay flat, they tangle easily, and never wind up in a place where they should be. I should see if anyone makes a battery version of a stapler.
Just guestimating a grinder is around 200$, that's how much the ones are for my battery ecosystem
Anyways I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just in that part of life when you have way more time than money..
That's not a bad place to be. By the time I made it through that and on to having more money than time (especially time left on this earth), my eyes were shot and all my joints ached whenever I worked in the shop. They say, "youth is wasted on the young" for a reason...
That one is used in the best sense of the word. I've bought a few of the refurbs by Milwaukee. 99.9% of them are as new. The only way that you will know it is used is the serial number has been altered so it doesn't get the same warranty as new. This one is going to a friend to show them that cords suck.
