I think their anvils are ok.
Bought a "heavy duty" sping compressor for coilovers that scared the bejeezus out of me.
The whole thing started to bend badly, sorta like a bomb ready to go off. That was returned.
500 ft lb impact wrench couldn't take off lug nuts I knew were tq'd to 100. That went back.
Paint gun on first use disolved the teflon like liner inside using primer. Made a hell of a mess all over a brand new fender. That went back.
At least they have a good return policy.
I wonder how many cows have been electrucuted by their heated watering buckets.
I no longer buy their tools.

I don't think I'd want to use an electric die grinder for porting anyway. Air tools are so much smaller and lighter weight.

oh for sure, but that $600 compressor to run the light cheap air tool is what stops me...
I'm saving up for one though... (but without 240V in the garage, i'm kinda limited...)

Well its still going strong. 
I use the electric die grinder for the major work and I like a air die grinder when using long shaft cutting bits for deep in the intake port.
