Had this grinder for a while and decided to use it on my trailer deck replacement today...absolutely worthless...no power at all.
100lbs air at hose and oiled it.......
Need to dig out my receipt >:(

Probably looses its torque through the extension.
Kinda like an extension on a impact.
There's little tricks you can do to improve airflow on fittings and couplers.

I have several air tools and grinders...this one is gutless :-\

Ed, I've never had one but i'll bet Rattiac is right on. Most of those bigger high rpm grinders/polishers go thru mass quantities of air quick. I have an Ingersoll-Rand 4,900rpm 7" variable speed pull trigger air polisher/grinder that at 125psi pressure on an 80 gal tank that runs for 3mins till it bogs down. >:(. So I just use a 5" wire brush on it.

10-4 ...even with my 80 gallon tank topped off it stops with the slightest down pressure...that's why I have (3) "electric" angle grinders :D
