The 20-Volt MAX XR Angle Grinder features a brake, E-Clutch System, and Kickback Brake. The brake quickly brings the wheel to a stop in two seconds or less when the trigger is released. The E-Clutch System automatically shuts down the motor when a wheel pinch in detected. These two features working together to shut the tool down without user interaction, called the Kickback Brake. Additionally, the grinder features a One-Touch Guard, which allows for single-action adjustments to change guard position.
- Brushless motor requires no brush changes
- Brake stops wheel in 2 seconds or less on average
- Kickback brake engages when a pinch, stall, or bind-up event is sensed and the electronic brake engages with maximum force to quickly stop the wheel, reduce the movement of the grinder and shut the grinder off
- Anti-wobble hitch pin
- 2-stage trigger requires 2 actions to activate tool
- Ideal for metal grinding and cutting
- Ideal for cutting bricks/pavers and concrete

Excellent cutting tool for various projects. I first used it cut stone veneer. No problems cutting the stone and made quick work of the project. Since then, I have used it several times doing typical “grinder” jobs!

This grinder works great….it’s powerful enough to cut, grind and strip most anything and with a flexvolt 60 battery it will go the distance. I would definitely buy again. The flexvolt version is a little bit too heavy so this guy gets it done.

Super easy to set up, change blades, and get to work. I appreciate the safety switch on the trigger.

I received this grinder as a gift about 6 months ago. I am a welder and complain often about my corded grinder(which is a beast) because I have leads, ground cables, and other trip hazards around so the last thing I want is another cord to trip on.I specialize in stairs and railings which, as you can imagine need to be clean as clean can be prior to paint or powder. I run, on average, 4-8 4 AH packs through this little guy 5-6 days a week so I believe at this point, I’m a qualified opinion.Weight and Balance:Light weight. I actually think it’s almost a little too light. I run the 4 AH packs partly for runtime, but also for heft. I like the balance better with the bigger pack. It’s by no means bad with the smaller packs but my personal taste is to run the 4’s.Durability:This thing is beaten daily and still runs like new. No head noises, no loss of power. I have had 0 issues with the switch. Through steel, aluminum, and stainless it just grinds away.There is visible wear on the rubber coating(meaning it’s now smooth) which is to be expected with the level of use. It’s been dropped, had things dropped on it, and even took a bath in Monster one day and it just keeps on ticking.Battery life: I use everything from cuttoff wheels to flapdiscs, hard discs to sanding pads. Sanding pads by far have the greatest battery life. Cuttof wheels last forever if you’re cutting light gauge, but it eats them cutting thick stuff. I break out the corded if cutting 1/4 or thicker. Flapdiscs are in the middle of the road and hard discs aren’t bad as long as you don’t lay on it. If you push the heck out of it, it’s not too great.Brake:This is great. I save my pads, and my table because I’m not constantly stopping the head on the table. It also doesn’t kick much at all when the tool catches.Guard:It’s a guard. I’m sure it works however I can’t speak on that. It’s easy to take off(*DISCLAIMER: I recommend always using a guard when possible.) For my purposes a guard on any grinder is in my way. Mine is still shiny, unlike the rest of the grinder.Summary:All in all a great grinder and a good purchase. My title says I will buy again because I will eventually wear it out. Judging by how it has performed, I’m guessing that won’t be for a long time unless I drop something big on it. Good job Dewalt. Solid tool as always.

I bought this last October and have used it a number of times. Most recently this summer I used it to cut rebar sticking up thru a beach from an old break wall.

Great tool! My expectation is I will have to change the battery often but the intermittent use that I will be employing is fine with that. So nice to be able to take a grinder anywhere!!

Got this one for same price as cheaper model and tried it but haven’t used it yet for work!

Solid tool and battery lasts longer than I was expecting. No longer need a corded one after this!

I’m a elevator constructor by trade and can say this grinder is a favorite of everyone.my only problem is my coworkers like it as much as I do.i finally had to tell them to get their own because I was tired of chasing it down when I needed it.its great for cutting ductwork .

Was impressed with the power this tool had. I used it on a small job and it worked the same as my corded grinder. Didn’t have to use it long so can’t say much about the battery life.

Works agreat not as fast as cord powere but gets job done. My only complain why not to add LED light that lits around blade so I could see the mark when working in dark conditions?? 4 stars
