Sat, 17 Jun 2000 10:44:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jim_F - The Makita 4" grinder is a well made tool, and very long lasting. It does have a few shortcomings though, in my opinion.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Jim_F - I have only been to one Tony Roma's, so I will be the first to admit I am not a Tony Roma expert. The service was very good, after a short wait to get in, usually, if I have to wait to get in a restaurant, I will not stop. But in this case I did.
