I've been thinking of picking up an air grinder/ cutting wheel and wanted to see what everyone's using with their air compressors. I have a few of the standard tools, an impact wrench, ratchet, blow gun and inflator. Let us know how you like the model that you have.
 
I have a junky one from harbor freight, it works ok for what I spent on it. If you are going to be using it a lot I'd recommend spending a little more money. One of my favorite youtube channels "AvE" has been reviewing a lot of air tools lately and the harbor freight impacts have been looking pretty good.

I am a fan of the Ingersoll Rand brand
I have a couple of them I use for cuttoff wheels. I don't usually grind with them I mostly use a Makita 4 1/2 grinder for grinding, but lately bought some cut-off wheels for it and am surprised at how good it is to cut also, but if it has to be air my vote would be Ingersoll Rand.
 
Never really liked the air grinders, however a 90 degree die grinder is one of my favorite tools! I love those little roloc sanding pads.
