Oh crap, I have the HF one! :D It's lasted me years, and it's the only one ive ever used, so I don't know any different as far as torque loss. Benz, the ones you linked are very affordable, and I've been wanting a better one. Question - my grinder is 10 amp, do I need the 20 amp control, or wouldn't the 15 amp be plenty overkill? Or doesn't it work that way, I'm no electrician... Thanks.
