CP875

This little die grinder is amazingly powerful and smooth. I run it at around 110 psi. from a small 20-gallon 110V compressor and it works beautifully but since the tool consumes between 20 and 34 SCFM I cannot run it continuously for a long period. I have to give the compressor time to catch up every so often. The small size helps it fit into tight spaces and make maneuvering it around a complex work piece much easier. It comes with two collets, the American standard 1/4" size and the metric 6mm (which is slightly smaller that 1/4" by .35mm) so that if you buy the imported burrs and bits they can be securely fastened into the chuck. Other tools I have that are only 1/4" often can't tighten down sufficiently on a 6mm rotary burr shaft. This one works great. The two chuck wrenches that come with it include one that has the smaller jaw at a right angle that allows you to lay it parallel to the tool in use and hold it and the tool in one hand while you tighten the chuck with the other wrench. A genius design. The owner's manual makes no mention of the "built-in regulator" that is part of the tool description. I have included a picture of it. If you turn the inner screw, the tool adjusts its speed accordingly, which is really handy when driving something like a wire brush so it doesn't overspeed and throw wires around. The control is VERY touchy, but effective. I can slow it down to a crawl or up to its maximum 27K RPM with just a little turn of the regulator. The rear air discharge is diffused and out of the way so it doesn't blow chips around but, like every rotary air tool, quite loud, so I strongly suggest some hearing protection for long-term use. A few drops of air tool oil before use and a good supply of clean shop air and it will work for you all day. It is well made, hefty for its little size and quite powerful. The fit and finish are top notch at a very reasonable price.

I’ve used this for over 4 years. Amazing tool by CP. Extremely durable. I’ve put an unimaginable amount of hours on this and still runs strong. I keep it well oiled and had zero problems. Small, and light weight for all those difficult work areas. I would definitely buy another one if I ever needed too. Ergonomic and fits my hand perfectly. Trigger is smooth for precise operation

Writing the review after having this tool for 6 years. Bought this because I wanted a compact grinder to get into tight locations. Over the past 6 years I have used it every once in awhile with good results. During the last 6 months I have used this grinder almost daily. I have used it with both carbide burrs, cut off wheels as well as Roloc abrasive discs. At 90 psi and a fair amount of cfm it doesn’t bog down. Great little grinder! I own several pneumatic tools made by Chicago Pneumatic. All of them have given me good service. For the past 35 years I’ve been a loyal customer. This little tool has proved its durability in my opinion and this is the reason why I am writing a review. I paid $54 for it and if it blew up tomorrow I would think that it was worth it! The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the safety trigger is hard to engage at times. That being said it is a minor inconvenience.

Best grinder I’ve used it’s real strong and compact easy to use haven’t had any issues so far I do feel like it got a little loose from the middle somehow over time but it still works fine as it should definitely will buy it again if needed

What a steal of a deal for a solid die grinder. Came with a smaller collet and the wrenches. Works great. A little loud, but not horrible

First off, I will note that this tool is more than sufficiently powered and therefore my review is based on using this grinder at its maximum potential. It is being powered by a 115 CFM Sullair compressor that feeds air to the entire facility-and man this tool EATS IT UP!! Key features: •VERY durable casing- as a welder, I have used it quite often as some welds are difficult to do to required specs. Therefore grinding and re welding is common. So it's been dropped, abused, and exposed to very harsh conditions seen in a manufacturing facility. But no cracks or signs of significant damage has occurred. •Its got alot of bite- as I've stated, grinding welds is common but needs to be done in a timely manner. With other air grinders, the torque is not there or enough to efficiently grind the welds. With the 872, it's a different story. I have put all my strength into grinding the weld and the speed only reduces down to about 2/3 its max rotation. Other grinders such as the harbor freight brand are practically stopped! •Heavy- its pretty heavy and definitely helps with control and vibration reduction. Not much else to say about that. •Easy to use chuck keys! Changing bits is very simple. Doesn't get stuck or cross threaded. Also theres no need to wrench it on like a lug nut. Which is very convenient. •A trigger that never gets stuck! Its always smooth when pulling it. All in all, the CP 872 is the best bang for your buck. Just make sure to have a good grip on it, or it will fly out of your hands!!

When it came time to replace my CP875 I didn't have to dwell on what brand I would buy. I have used this right angle grinder for years, running it for hours on end, given it minimal maintenance, abused it in every conceivable fashion and it is still working. In a body shop environment it gets used and used hard. During a marathon run it was used for so long in continues operation that ice began forming on the case and the operator used welding gloves to keep his hands from freezing and it ran flawlessly. In truth it probably has over two thousand hours of use and while it is getting pretty loose in the gears it still works just fine. Clearly the best deal I have found and I use Snap-On, and Blue Point...they are no better than this little CP unit. Don't hesitate...its a great tool for the money!!

Muy buen equipo

Good quality and delivered on time

Very small grinder, easy to use and works great.

Deux étoiles car j'ai l'habitude d'acheter des outils pneumatiques et cette fois, l'embout pour connecter le tuyau d'air comprimé n'est pas vendu avec. C'est nul. La meuleuse n'est donc pas fonctionnelle immédiatement.
