The DMM works great, has a nice transistor testor too with it, cheap enough that you can beat the crap out of it.

I wouldn't put it up against the bench grinder though...

Crap and I'm out of town!

If someone happens to be able to grab a spare of the Auto Ranging DMM for me, I can pay them back for it, just let me know so I don't buy one as well when I get back in town.

How fast is the reaction time of the short test?  I use Flukes at work and they're very quick but expensive.  I have a cheap $15 one for home and it takes a second or two to beep.

The beep is immediate.

Been using my Crappy Tire DMM for years. The test leads *suck* because the tips can break fairly easily, but you can get replacements from CT for cheap. Otherwise it works great.

I could never bring myself to pay $200+ for a Fluke.

Conversely, I went through a handful of these 'bargain' dmm's and always wound up frustrated.  It took a while to bite the bullet for a low level FLUKE but I have never looked back.  Thing has been great and support has been great (when I had a slight issue with the dial).

On the grinder, is this what you'd get if you wanted a buffer (replace one side with a buffing wheel)?   Is the HP enough for buffing - I recall folks suggesting 1/2HP?

I was planning on using a wire wheel on one side and the buffer on the other. I'm tried of using a vise and drill attachments; this'll clean the bigger and tougher stuff that the tumbler can't do.

The 6" is 1/3 hp and the 8" is 3/4 hp. 8" it is, for me, then: http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST.....rinder.jsp?locale=en

That's what I have..  I had a lot of difficulty finding 8" buffing wheels and buffing compound.  But it works wonders!!!
