Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT XR 4.5-in 20-volt max Paddle Switch Brushless Cordless Angle grinder

Dealt 20 volt cordless grinder

DeWalt tools are the best tools I've ever used they are very reliable and dependable as well as versatile. This grinder knocked hours off of my job.

Nice tool

It’s a good tool, I’ve used it successfully would say a corded one is better for extensive grinding

Pricey but worth it

Light years ahead of DeWalts 20v brushes grinder. You definately get what you pay for-spent the extra $50 and get this one if you demand quality and pro performance. If you don’t care then just buy the regular 20V.

Great

Works great lots of power. Slim design is easy to use.

Better have alot of batteries

Excellent power and covenience. Uses batteries like crazy. Better stock up and have them all charged !

Excellent grinder/cutter for short jobs

This tool performs well for both grinding and as a cut off device however; as many have said, don't expect the battery to give you much time. Cuts about five to six 1/2" bolts off with a thin cutoff wheel before the battery is exhausted. Cleans up weld slag, etc. well. Plenty of power for a grinder that is balanced and easy to use, being cordless makes it extremely handy for field jobs. Definitely a great addition to your tool box?

Good Tool

The grinder is very balanced an overall a good, handy tool.

So far, so good

I just picked up this angle grinder from Lowe's today and it came with a 20 volt Max 6 amp battery as well. The battery is a bit of a beast, but it seems to balance out the grinder quite well. Right now I've got a 4 and 1/2 in cut off wheel on there, and it cuts like butta. This actually cuts faster with this very thin cut off wheel then using a chop saw with 1/8 inch wheel. So, I've only had this a few hours. Time will tell as to how much happyness it brings. Right now, I'm not fully comfortabl...

Nice tool, great safety feature power lever.

I currently use the brush version grinder but bought The brushless because I have read that you get more life out of the brushless version. So far so good.. I’m liking it!

This angle grinder is awesome. I have cut a metal barrel and ground off some screws so far. The only negative is that it uses more batteries than other tools

Absolutely love this thing.

Cuts through 18G steel like paper. Batteries last pretty long actually. Just keep a spare around it you really have a lot to do. Spark guard is easy to maneuver, and the wheel lock is smooth and easy to change things out. Doesn't get hot. Really impressed so far.

Knife through butter

With Dewalts brushless technology, engineering, and that famous yellow color this tool is on a bar of its own. It’s lightweight, fairly compact, user friendly, and if used correctly it’s safe with its easy to use guard and brake. Get a couple 5AH or larger batteries and won’t have a reason to stop except to change wheels (that won’t be often if use Dewalts high performance wheels).

powerful grinder

cuts steel like butter, if battery runs down too quickly use a bigger battery like flexvolt 5ah

Nice tool but battery hungry under moderate to use

This tool grinds well. The spark guard takes seconds to move and the chuck and chuck lock seem to be od decent design. Grind power on moderate steel welds is decent. The only negative i can say would be that this tool eats batteries like snacks. My (2) 20v 3.0ah batteries don't keep the tool running under heavy use. I would need atleast 1 more battery or maybe even two more for continuous grinding & charging. I you are going to be grinding for hours at a time you may want to consider an electric...

Best on the Market

Light weight, compact, plenty of power. All my co-workers concur. Safety switch takes a little getting used to - took me a while to discover it doesn't need to be held once the trigger is activated. Excellent buy. Use for cutting metal, sharpening, and most of all for cutting hardie board and tile.

power of corded without the cord

Plent of power for any task id use any 4 1/2 grinder for. I love this tool! A 4 ah battery last incredibly long when grinding metal smooth from welding. Prefer this over the milwalkee, as it can atually stand up on its battery. Well worth $160 some dollars
