What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this angle grinder for its exceptional power, reliability, and build quality. The 11-amp motor consistently outperforms lower-amp models, handling demanding tasks like metal fabrication and porcelain tile cutting with ease. Reviewers emphasize rugged construction and long-term durability, with many citing previous models lasting 20-25 years. Users appreciate the lightweight design, well-balanced feel, paddle switch, and one-touch guard for improved control. A few note minor issues with the included Allen wrench instructions or plastic side handle fit, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by strong overall satisfaction.

Would RecommendExcellent product. My only issue is the the included instructions could have been written better. The online .pdf was actually clearer to read and easier to understand. At first, it wasn’t evident that the locking flange (4 holes) can be locked with either the spanner wrench (not included) or the Allen wrench (included).

Missing an important component
Would RecommendThe grinder is fine and operate well, however it came with an Allen wrench, but requires a wrench with studs to tighten and loosen the nut to change the disks. Thankfully my Rigid which broke, used the studded wrench. Contacted DeWalt and awaiting the proper wrench to be delivered. Recommendation - open the box and ensure the appropriate wrench is with the grinder, otherwise you will be needing needle nose channel locks to change the disk.

Nice tool, quiet running and comfortable grip
Would RecommendI needed to use a diamond cup wheel to strip a concrete floor in a small area. I bought this grinder, diamond cup wheel and the dust hood also made by Dewalt. The hood attaches easily and securely due the the design of the bearing housing having slots that retain it well even before you tighten the band clamp screw. Additionally, the diamond cup wheel stripped off the old tile mortar in record speed!

Dewalt 4 1/2 in 11 amp Grinder
Would RecommendI purchased this Dewalt Grinder and it was the best decision I made. Motor did get hot. Gear box got warm after some serious grinding. Has good power. I feel like this is the last grinder I will have to purchase, and it was made in the USA

Lightweight, easy to handle, safe on/off switch
Would RecommendThe design is great. Easy to use for long period of time with little fatigue. The paddle on/off switch is very safe to use and doesn't get clogged with dust or debris like the slide switch on other brands. Had bad experience with other brand's slide switch getting clogged and unable to turn off and had to resort to unplugging while unit was on.
