This is the Third Dewalt battery operated tool I’ve received this month. The Dewalt Hedge Trimmer, Dewalt Grass Trimmer and Edger and this Angle Grinder. All three have worked wonderfully on just the power supplied by the 20-Volt MAX Lithium Ion batteries. By the way, the battery and battery charger is NOT included with the Grinder, but if you have other Dewalt tools with the Flexvolt batteries and chargers, they appear to be cross-compatible. In fact, the Grinder has over 50% more power when paired with Flexvolt battery vs. 20V MAX battery. So when you deciding on the tool to use, consider the fact that the batteries are interchangeable. It appears that Dewalt is now using brushless motors on their tools. I found that the case with the tools I’ve received this week. It delivers 1,550 max watts out and up to 9,000 rpm. When I was using the tool to cut bricks, I quickly appreciated the Kickback Brake. It engaged with maximum force to quickly stop the wheel and shut off the grinder when a bind-up occurs. And the clutch shuts down the motor in under a tenth of a second when a pinch/stall is detected. Its lightweight in my opinion, powerful and versatile, but don’t expect the package to contain any accessories. It doesn’t. You’re only purchasing the motor unit and wrench to install accessories with. The tools such as the diamond saw blade or batteries would have to be purchased separately.

Great grinder. Like that it uses 20volt battery and not just 60volt battery. The 60volt batteries just don’t last very long for the price they charge for them.

This is a really good angle grinder. It isn’t too heavy, but isn’t too light either. Only thing you need to do is screw in the handle and put a battery in it to go. The handle gives you the control you need to make sure you aren’t swinging, but cutting or grinding in the place you need to be. So far this tool has done everything I have asked of it.

I’ve used this tool quit often while doing repairs around the house. Your grinding discs do need some review. Had 2 tile cutting blades loose the center spacer. Luckily I had bought 3 ofd them.

DEWALT 20-Volt MAX Lithium Ion Cordless Brushless 4-1/2 – 5 in. Paddle Switch Angle Grinder with FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE (Tool Only). This tool came with no options including a battery and charger. I have been buying all DeWalt tools, so I have plenty of batteries and chargers. The tool came with and Allen wrench for specific attachments, a handle, and an arbor nut. The manual shows a variety of accessories that can be used with the grinder including a sanding disk and pad which I purchased. The guard is easy to position without tools just by pressing a release button and turning to the desired angle. The trigger has a safety that must be pressed along with the trigger to run the grinder. The trigger does not lock and must be held during operation. The tool his hefty for its size and a large battery will add to the weight. The side handle is good to hold the tool steady for flat grinding or sanding but would be at the wrong angle for cutting operations. It is possible to rotate the handle position by removing bolts on the front, but this can also mess up the grinder. The grinder is relatively quiet and very convenient without a cord to get in the way. I used the sanding attachment to try out the grinder and found it very easy to use.

I have a powered DeWalt angle grinder and I love it. It has been an absolute beast and cut, polished, or ground anything I threw at it. I was really excited to see that they finally brought a battery powered version to market, so of course I couldn’t resist it. We have a few acres so every now and then you have a project that just far enough away from power to be a pain. In this case it was grinding off all the rust on my fuel storage tank and repainting it. I can get power back there if I daisy chain a few extension cords, or tow the generator over there… but that’s a lot of effort for a 10 minute job. It was the perfect job to try this out on and it excelled at everything. It had no problem delivering the torque I needed and never bogged down or shut off. The paddle switch is much more comfortable to use than the trigger switch on my powered model. Best of al, it uses the Flex Volt battery system so it was 100% interchangeable with the pile of batteries I already have on top of my workbench. I’m really impressed and this will come in handy on projects around the property.

Dewalt hit a Home run with the grinder. I have read alot of reviews on cordless grinders so I was a little skeptical when I got this one. The shield is easily adjust and quick release, the arbor comes off with a supplied allen key. In comparison to my corded grinder it is a little bigger and heavier. Torque feels about the same but I would give the edge to the corded one. But the advantage of cordless is portability. So I won’t be doing on long projects in the future so I don’t know how long a battery lasts, but for what I do most often I am glad to cut the cord. Great tool , Great brand. You can’t go wrong.

I don’t have a blade in the Dewalt Angle Grinder yet and I already love it. This is the DCG 416B, bare tool, no battery no blade shipped , but the quality and the fit and feel are the best of many of my hand held power tools. Spring adjust blade guard will move 360 degrees with no tools. One large hex wrench for blade changes is included. I am primarily a woodworker but will use this for all DIY to include cleaning up repurposed lumber.

DEWALT 20-VOLT MAX LITHIUM ION CORDLESS BRUSHLESS 4-1/2 – 5 IN. PADDLE SWITCH ANGLE GRINDER WITH FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE I’ve used this Dewalt grinder on a few thing. I’ve cut up pieces of tin roof. Steel bars from 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I’ve used a few flap disk and wire wheels. It’s been impressive for what I’ve done with it. I used it with the bigger 20v battery’s. If it gets better with a flexvolt battery I may never use my plug in grinder again. The braking is I nice feature. It stops spinning about a second after you let off the button. The grinder is comfortable to use and actually pretty light even with a the big 20v battery. Guard is easy and quick to adjust. Swapping the wheel or disc out is simple. It come with an Allen head for the tool It could use a way to attach the Allen head to the tool so it doesn’t get lost.

Another excellent DeWalt tool!As I am in the DeWalt battery ecosystem, I am always glad when I can get a good tool.This cordless grinder is very powerful and easy to handle. With a battery on, it is well-balanced and easy to use. The guard has a quick adjust feature so you can quickly move it to a different position to keep it out of your way when grinding. This makes it so you are less likely to just remove it and lose the safety it provides.As you can see in the video, it cut through the T-post easily, and was easy to control.I highly recommend this. It will probably completely replace my corded grinder.

Okay, packaging is adequate for shipping and the box has enough details to make a choice. Tool itself is nicely balanced once the battery pack is attached. With this unit, it accommodates many cutting, grinding wheels for the task at hand. Once underway, it seems to have plenty of power for a tool of this size. Battery life depends on many options. Blades and wheels change out nicely!

Performed excellent right out of box. Plenty of power and run time on the 5ah battery. Have not tried it with the 60v battery yet but it supposedly will have 54% more power. Looking forward to it.

Grinder works well and has plenty of power. Comfortable to use for extended periods of time.Works as well as my corded grinder but without the hassle of extension cords.
Maxwell Zemlak (verified owner) –
This Angle Grinder by DEWALT is another tool that I need for my collection of cordeles tools, it really helps a lot for the kind of work I do, sometimes is really difficult to get extension cord long or even power for where I’m working this DEWLAT angle grinder makes my job so much easier, all I need is to make sure I have a couple of batteries charge, I try it with the 20V battery and the flex volt if you are going to use it for a long period, the lock mechanism for changing the blades is just is very safety, also has a break once you release the power . I really like it definitely I recommend this Dewalt angle grinder 100%

Works like a dream, in conjunction with the new 60volt flex battery. Lots of power on tap. I used it with a tile blade on a shower job effortlessly
