Are these perfect for all those projects you have lined up for your extra holiday days off/burning the vacation time before it goes away?
Let us know!
I'm just hanging out, really.

The angle grinder is a handy tool to have around if you don't already have one. (I have six). The B&D is only slightly less beefy than it's sister Porter Cable counterpart. Should give you years of occasional service. Lots of blade options:
Grinder (comes with)
Cut-off (very thin)
Grinder and cut-off for Masonry (can also use on soft stone)
Flap-disc (my favorite).
Wire brush (paint and rust removal)
Always wear 2 levels of eye protection.

Yeah, I've done the HF thing for years. But you don't get what you don't pay for, in this case. No torque, and they overheat. I'll run my Porter Cable 'til the wheel wears out or my hands get tired.
If it's gonna spend most of it's time on the shelf, the HF is fine.
