Need grinder recommendations for building a backyard shed - what's your go-to?

Hey everyone, I'm planning to build a 10x12 shed in my backyard this spring. I've got most of the tools, but I need a good grinder for cutting rebar for the foundation and smoothing out some metal brackets. Budget is around $100-150. What do you guys recommend? I'm looking at corded vs cordless but not sure which way to go. Thanks!

OP, you're gonna love building that shed! I did mine last year with a Milwaukee M18 Fuel grinder - absolute beast! Cordless is the way to go if you're not near an outlet, but for $150 you might want corded for more power. Check out DeWalt's DWE402 - it's a workhorse and right in your budget. Just don't cheap out on the discs, get some Diablo metal cutting wheels!

Carl's not wrong about corded for power, but listen - I've been roofing 20 years and burned through more grinders than I can count. For a shed? Get a Makita 4-1/2" 7.5A. It's $89 at Home Depot, leaves room in your budget for a good face shield (SAFETY FIRST!). Rebar cuts like butter. Cordless dies when you need it most, trust me.

Woodworker here - I use my grinder mostly for sharpening chisels and plane irons, but when I built my garden shed I went with a Bosch 1375A. Lightweight, easy to handle for detailed bracket work. If you're doing precision cuts on those brackets, consider a smaller 4" model. Also, get a grinding wheel AND a cut-off wheel - makes a huge difference!

Thanks guys! Leaning toward the Makita that Chris mentioned - seems like the smart play for my budget. Carl, I'll definitely get good discs like you said. Sam, good call on the different wheels. Appreciate all the advice! Time to get this shed started!
