Can you use other blades? X-Lock blades are rare, and super expensive in my area

You can get an adapter for around $20 and use regular wheels.

Full price near me (North Atlanta), but at the 99$ price B&M an hour away. The HD website shows in-store clearance tag, for the store selected, if it is marked down. The deal site below might provide faster results. Put in the internet number: 314975202 to seach and might want to add your state also to narrow the search distance. Good luck

My local HD had stock at $70 but only super high up on the shelves. Asked an associate to help get it down, and he had to go get a huge Ballymore lift and block off the aisle - felt really bad about how much extra work it was for him

you're paying them for a product that can't be reached or sold otherwise. relinquish yourself from guilt of asking someone to do their job

If you use a grinder heavily, you might want to grab the 40v version (it's like 2-2.5x the price on ebay). Either that or make sure you have a 5.0ah battery for this one.
