Grinding down old welds is a regular part of maintaining our travel setup, whether it's the bike rack or the trailer hitch. This metal grinding wheel holds up impressively well, with its high-performance aluminum oxide grain making quick work of the toughest metal spots.

It feels stable and secure even when running at full speed, and it's much simpler to deal with than switching out an entire grinding plate. The downside is that the manual leaves you guessing on washer placement, and the fit isn't universal—so double check your grinder specs before buying.

Still, it does the job efficiently for the right setups.
