Craftsman doesn't make an electric die grinder. They sell a pneumatic (air-powered) die grinder through Lowe's for use with an air compressor. For cordless or corded electric die grinders, you'd need to look at DeWalt, Milwaukee, or Makita.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy a pneumatic or electric die grinder?

If you already have an air compressor with adequate CFM, pneumatic die grinders are lighter, cheaper, and simpler (no batteries, no motor to burn out). If you don't own a compressor, an electric model is the practical choice.

What size compressor do I need?

A die grinder at 4 CFM needs a compressor rated for at least 5 to 6 CFM at 90 PSI to run continuously. Most pancake compressors (2 to 3 CFM) will run the grinder intermittently but cycle frequently. A 20+ gallon tank compressor is better.
