Small Hand Tool Repair
Where is a good place to get replacement parts for angle grinders, etc?
My Ryobi grinder went down in a blaze of glory last night and scared the $@!%!$@# out of me. The replaceable brushes were toast. I'm probably gonna buy another so I can continue my project but I can't bring myself to toss this one. I'm hoping that the brushes can be had for 5 or 10 bucks.

good luck with that....
how old does a Ryobi have to be to have consumable brushes...? (then again, now that I'm thinking about it... I think my HF elec. impact does too...) Find a 2-for-1 deal.... then you can toss the old one... you know you're gonna... and have one for grinding disc, one for flap wheel...

My Ryobi went a similar way. It was just sitting plugged in with the grinding wheel up, suddenly I see a puff of smoke and it starts spinning up to full speed. Sits there for a few seconds turning about 10K RPM and quits. I threw the MF'r in the junk, cheap crap.
Go buy a Metabo at a pawn shop, usually nobody knows them as brand name and you can get them really cheap. I have 2 and they are the best hand grinders I've owned. I only paid $25 for the one I have. |

Good luck. Mr craftsman took a dump this week. Just bought the ryobi with twist handle since I'm done with craftcheese. I know if you need to replace a bearing in a $100 Dewalt it'll cost ya about $80 to fix it........no thanks!
I'd buy the ridged at HomeDepot but money is kinda tight right now. If you register it you'll get lifetime parts and labor warranty. Just took a drill back for service and 6 days later got 2 brand new lithium batteries, no charge! |

That may be the ticket. I got distracted with chicken wings last night, so this afternoon is the time for action.
Stickman, mine was the Ryobi with the twist handle.......
