DEWALT Angle Grinder, 4-1/2-Inch, 11-Amp, 11,000 RPM, With Dust Ejection System, Corded (DWE402W)

I use this to grind concrete, grind metal, and cut bricks. It has sufficient power and speed for these jobs. I've had it apart a couple of times to clear the masonry dust from the commutator and it is a serviceable unit - easy to disassemble, commonality in the screws where possible, and designed to be taken apart in sections, as needed.Adjustment of the guard is a bit difficult (lever is too small), but it is removable, so the problem is solve-able.

Great angle grinder we use it on the shop daily with no troubles

Very happy with my Dewalt grinder. I just bought it as an extra one so that I can put different attachments on it so I don’t have to change from cutting wheel to grinding stone to the wire wheel. Again, very happy. Thank you. 😎

This is a simple work horse of a grinder. It doesn’t complain or over heat, it just does its job. I liked it so much I bought a second one.

My husband ordered this. I guess everything is fine, I haven't heard any complaints.It did arrive timely and as described by the seller. Good value for the money.I'm happy that he's happy with it.

Liked:-overall Dewalt quality and operation-Seems well builtDisliked:-They've changed the locking mechanism from the previous angle grinders I've had. Interestingly, the lock mechanism now matches closely to what one of the cheap tool retail stores sells and the lock mechanism is the one reason I didn't go back there to replace the dewalt grinder which recently failed. I'll see if I can adjust to it, but for moment, it doesn't seem as 'ergonomically' suited to my hands.-This probably will ultimately be a 'non-event', but at the moment, it seems like a further effort to save a dollar by the manufacturer. You no longer get a 'spanner' type wrench with the angle grinder. You get a hex wrench (I call them allen wrenches). I was going to customer support to request the spanner and one of the FAQs actually was about the allen wrench. They even have a video on using the allen wrench to tighten the nut. I guess I wasn't the first that raised the concern.I've only used it a few minutes, but overall, I expect to get good use out of it as the Dewalt I'm replacing is about 10 years old (I'm going to try brush replacement to see if that brings it back to life, just on a 'why not try?' basis. Dewalt's stuff typically is well made.

Holy Cr&p! This is one good grinder!!! I am becoming a Dewalt fanboy, but this review is legit. I was looking for a second angle grinder and really wanted the dewalt 20v angle grinder... but the complaints about battery life were nagging at me.. it's fine if you want to break an edge now and then, but I was in the middle of a big job and thought I didn't have enough batteries to cycle through... so I find this one instead...The 11amp motor is real... I have a 6amp grinder and you can tell the difference when you are hanging on! You can lay into the wheel and remove material without slowing down... really it's the only way to go!The paddle is also very nice feature, sort like an on off switch, but also like a deadman switch... it takes nothing to hold on, because you hand is already wrapped around the handle...This is the 4.5" grinder to buy!

Can't beat DeWalt
