I’m working on a farm, out in the field, dragging a generator around is too much trouble. I’ve got the new Flexvolt 60v grinder, DCG418, and it’s very impressive at getting the job done.
Oh yeah you got that one right . That 60 volt grinder is a beast . And I wouldn't part with it either
@@bossmanz28 the second that and the 15amphour battery comes to Australia I'm buying both up fast. Lifesaver tool with crazy power. Especially after a dewalt rep hooked me up with a 7 inch shroud that fits my dcg406 18v and theoretically, the dcg418 too
Totally agree
100% agree. Had a small vice and a grinder in the service ute, used it all the time to shorten bolts, cut locks (with permission), notch steel, etc. This guy's reviews are all terrible.
The simple fact he has the grinder upside down so that it will kick back towards him shows that he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.
I want a cordless grinder for farm use as well
Mechanic here, this cordless grinder is the cats ass. Can grind through 2 grinding disks non-stop before I killed the battery. This tool no joke if you need one and hate cords like I do it's must have.
Cats ass is a complement?
@@huggywuggy3608lol right. Luke huh??
Sweet! I dodged the bullet not getting into that whole flexvolt BS!! I'm so glad I'll get to use my other batteries and not be trading off on power
@@joeygunzilla6878 flexvolt advantage has 1550 UWO this has 1350 UWO you should try the flexvolt advantage
@@smotheredchrome I bought the power detect grinder (the 8ah kit) & got the 894 1/2 impact free! Anyways.. the grinder is awesome! The battery life is amazing.. Seriously amazing! Even with just a 5ah it last a long time. I use it on the job everyday. The flex advantage sounds great but for the price this one could not be beat! 279.00 = 8ah battery + fast charger + pick a free tool (+a big tool bag -not the average scrawny one LoL) ✌️
I’m an electrician and I work on the freeway so cordless tools are a must for me. On the other hand I’m a Milwaukee guy and their grinder is awesome
Jason Wleczyk Milwaukee is the BEST cordless tool company out there
What is a grinder used for ?
Andrew depending on what type of wheel you get it’s for cutting (metal, cement, porcelain, quartz) removing rust, and grinding down cement.
GreddyReaddy thanks!
@@metal4life1966 lol dewalt is the best power tool company out there look it up buddy. Milwaukee been around since the 80s dewalt since the 20s dewalt has many options of tools compared to the Milwaukee brand ask any union guy what they prefer most of them will prefer dewalt like myself.
I’m a hvac tech and I use this exact tool almost every instal I do and it’s a lifesaver
When this comes to australia I'll probably only buy it if it and the 8 amp batteries are particularly well priced. Otherwise it's straight to the new 60v dcg418 grinder in a few months and retrofit it to take a 7" blade potentially
Yup im buying it lol grinders are also great for cutting linehide for the Mitsubishi mini splits
Installer here as well! Used a buddies today and it brought me here 😂
I swear to god i might ditch my snips lmao
Hvac installer doing industrial work in Canada, I use my cordless grinder all day everyday
I was about to say the same thing. Use it to cut all thread and unistruts to hang units in attics.
It’s like saying you don’t need a cordless drill or impact
Those are low draw tools. It's like a battery heat gun
@@galvanizedgnome good point
As a millwright I have to say having a a good cordless grinder can be an absolute god send for some jobs. Especially when your working inside a large machine with no power outlets around. In the shop I prefer corded but on the floor cordless all the way.
When ever I use cut off wheel I wear my welding helmet with grind mode I’ve had them explode to many times and when they do ur thankful u had a full face gear on
Even the bystander needs protection if you've ever seen the recent post by the guy who was hit in the eye when his father's wheel exploded and hit him across the bridge of his nose from 8 feet away.. Kept his left eye but the pupil will forever be damaged. I imagine sunglasses will be his permanent fixture.
@@TheLimbReaper oh yeah grinding are more devastating than welding sparks
I was cutting a stainless steel catwalk in half the other day at work, and the grinder jerked back at my face because it didn't have a handle. Thank God I had a face shield, or else I would have a scar from my forehead down to my chin. You gotta hold on to that grinder for dear life. *Always use the handle, And wear face shield+glasses. (And I know sometimes the handle gets in the way)
I can answer one of the first questions you asked. (I haven't watched the whole video yet, so maybe it was a rhetorical question.)
'Where will you be where you can't plug in your grinder.'
The answer is: In the middle of a field that has a tower that ripped the center drive off of the center pivot and has to be welded. The 100' leads barely reach, and we can't drive in further because of wet ground. I could use a dc grinder, but for the use case I need the cordless grinder so little I saved significant time not having to drag out an extension cord or a generator.
Had a similar issue in the middle of a forest/swamp with a pipe I had to cut, Luckily I had recently purchased (on sale) the DeWalt DCB1800B 1800 Watt Portable Power station
You do realize he was being sarcastic right.
peter yeung didn’t sound that way to me and I’ve watched a LOT of Vince’s videos.
I'm a tow truck driver in Southern California
The company i work for is contracted with multiple police agencys with that being said we get tons of Traffic collisions.
When dealing with car crashes we could have Guard railing, fences ,gates etc in the way that we have to cut just to recover the vehicles,this tool works too perfectly in those situations (when time matters) just the other night we had a light pole blocking lanes
I was able to move it out the road way with the tow truck but the part where the light hangs out was still blocking part of the street I was able to pull this tool out with a cutter wheel and cut it then bend it out the way
Those are just some things this cutter is great for, time is everything when it comes to opening roads back up and this beats
Pulling out a generator and running cords
Plus finding where to store all that on a truck since we don't need it all the time
This dewalt battery cutter is compact and ready to go with a push of a button
I have the previous version of this XR grinder and I use it to cut tile and cement board. It works very good, the smoothest cutting grinder I ever had, makes a lot nicer smother cuts than the corded version. Cuts as smooth and nice dry as the wet saw and it doesn't draw a lot of battery for tile cutting. I typically use the 3ah or 5ah and get the job done for the day. One of my favorite tools.
Curious...is it the DCG412? 'Cause that's the one I just bought! It's not brushless though.
@@markarita3you should bui the 413 is a LOT more powerfull
I'm 52 years old and never owned an angle grinder. I've been getting more into fabrication and finally started looking for one. I'm heavily invested in the DeWalt ecosystem, including some 60v tools. I picked up this tool as my first and only angle grinder, and I have to say it does everything I need it to do. Glad I didn't buy the Hercules from Harbor Freight like I had planned.
What battery works with? I thought any dewalt 20v ? Do you need xr? Mine is smallest one 2
As a plumber in a high rise condo we use a cordless Dewalt grinder and it is very useful as many areas of the building do not yet have temporary power and we need to cut steel for sleeves etc. Does chew through batteries though
I have that same corded 4-1/2" grinder for about 6 years and still works great.💪🏽
That's awesome
Use the cordless grinder to break padlocks, safes, and wheel locks if you get wheel clamped.
You definitely need this! I have an old 20v and use it constantly on the job. dragging 100ft or more of cords around is what is useless.
I used my old 18v one to cut through a couple of closed shackle abus padlocks, legitimately.
The locks were securing access to a couple of hydraulic motors on a bridge in Whitby, England (Famous for Dracula). I went onto the job with a couple of 1mm stainless slitting discs and a spare battery in either nail pouch of my work vest. The locks took about 10 seconds each and both done on a single battery.
Makes you really think about what you're trying to protect when using padlocks.
Lured me in with don't buy this tool and finished it off with Vince being impressed by the features and power it offers. On board tool storage for that allen wrench should of been thought through by Dewalt though.
Thanks for the look at the tool.
Dont need it the nut never locks had my 54v one for 3+yrs and given it a thrashing and it has not locked on hard enough for me need the wrench😅
Me too cuz i just bought one and haven't tried it yet....gpt me thinking i had to return it...but then again...dewalt doesn't let you down..
So I purchased this tool about a month ago on a whim because it was on sale. I've needed one in the past but had no immediate need for it, just wanted to have it in my toolbox. Wasn't 2 days later my friend got stranded when his boat trailer broke down on the side of the road. He needed to replace a leaf spring and all the bolts were rusted to bad to remove without cutting. This tool did it supper fast and I didn't have to bring a generator with me.
Dumbest argument I’ve ever heard from this channel. “What job site won’t have a place to plug this in...” literally is the same argument against EVERY cordless tool. Really disappointed Vince...you’re smarter than this.
But thank you for admitting you were wrong. Kudos. 👍
work on a boat lift over water and tell me you like the corded model.
If it was Milwaukee it would be a great buy smh
Why do you need an impact when there's always a screw driver. YOU DON'T NEED IT.
@@darlington87 Came here to say this. This channel is pretty biased against Dewalt in particular, but is a huge fan of Milwaukee. That's all fine, but it shouldn't be used as a reliable source for reviews or comparisons. It's basically an opinion channel for entertainment purposes.
@@CaseySexton thank you I told my dad about this channel that's what he said it's like an entertainment Channel they don't know shit about the tools and their tests aren't even realistic biased as hell I have dewalt tools my dad does too they work good my grandpa and uncle have Milwaukee and I will admit they're good too so it's Makita I'm not going to be biased about it please don't get me started on the video about how don't use 60 volt batteries on 20v tools that was stupid
Electrician/Solar contractor. For me a cordless is a must. The good safety and ease od use is a must for me. It's too complicated to work/grind on the roof for example with the cords all over your place just waiting to catch your foot. I'm also working with aluminium all the time, so no problem with the power
P.S.: i have the dcg406 - looks exactly the same. Never used the disarm key- the locking mechanism works perfectly - turn the lock and then turn the whole wheel little bit to be sure it's locked. To unlock first turn wheel, then the lock knob. No need to use the dismantling key
I swear by my battery grinder, I don’t even get my corded out the van anymore.
Love your videos man.
As a tile setter can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten to a new construction site with no power and didn’t require a wet saw to finish job (sigma score and snap and Milwaukee fuel to cut around outlets.). Been to a lot of old houses where outlets are hard to find or trip when corded grinder or wet saw turns on. Plenty of reasons to have this if you have a use for it.
I work for Dewalt I use a 60v grinder when I fabricate metal worked that grinder for a 10 hour shift never had to change the battery awesome so I bought one for my shop at home guys if you need something that will make your life easier this the tool you need to make money with you will be impressed I'm lucky I get to put these tools to the test I'm happy to say I'm getting more of the dewalt tools
I'm a roofer, I use cordless grinders for knocking mortar out of brick walls and chimneys. Very useful, saves dragging a cord up the roof for a quick cut
Changed my life, saves so damn much time to just hit a surface or clean a joint quickly… if you’re gonna be grinding for hours, yeah sure plug it in… the vast majority of my grinding is 10 seconds at a time… and it goes anywhere I need it… The two tools are for vastly different situations… If you’re thinking of buying a cordless as your only grinder, don’t… I’ve got 6 of them and the cordless ones get used the most, if I need to grind for more than a couple minutes, I’ll grab a corded one…. But for welding where you need to clean a little for tack welds, or clean up slag with a wire wheel for a second pass, it’s damn nice to have…
Just bought it, my old cord one said good night..im super happy with it. Been using the 5amp bat, for my DIY stuff around the house..its perfect!
I work in the oilfield, and I often have no power, and you can't just run to get one being in the middle of nowhere. I don't carry a generator, and very rarely need a grinder, but when I do I obviously don't have one. The only way I can get a grinder for 5 minutes of work is to drag a box trailer with a welder to where im going. Is it practical for heavy use? Hell no, but for quick jobs and specialized tradesmen it is a life saver.
Been trying to get our company to buy one of these since the back end of last year, but it seems like the form we sent to get the OK was sent but no reply came back, anyhow things are a little screwed up as of current with Covid 19 and it's disruptions.
But this is like all cordless tools ideal for working in a area , were kids are also present , were long cables present a risk or can or could be damaged .
I have such a job for this tool for a large but now old Kindergarten recreation area , were I need to replace or sand old round wooden areas .so a tool like this for both cutting old rusted bolts or for sanding away damaged wooden surfaces would be far better that my current setup using a 25+ meters of heavy outdoor extension cables .
It's an amazing fact to think we have such high load tools now without cables and with a useful operating time between charges.
Thanks again for the informative video.
I have it its nices just make sure u have a battery 4ah or bigger i just got a 6.0 20/60volt and boy its now a monster before i was using it with 2ah for small projects now i can do big projects
I do HVAC service and I use my cordless grinder all the time. It has saved me big time. Awesome video!
Thank you Gabriel!
Telecom here and same. Great tool, super versatile. If using it for long periods of time yes definitely corded but cordless makes the tool much handier
Gabriel Buss my brother does occasional HVAC ducting in an occupied building. Running cords out of doorways to cut metal outside, with employees walking over the cord, is not the safest. Battery operated is what he uses no matter which site he is at.
@@normferguson2769 I also have the corded grinder too. Each job is different and being a 1 man shop I have to be able to change on a dime. This is an awesome time to be in business with all the tool choices we have. I thank God for this channel to help me decide what tool would work best for me. I wish your brother all the luck in the world. If I have learned something is that if you work hard your pay day will come. Lol
And in my case definitely helpful when I'm working on a house with no power. Soooo
I'm a bricklayer. I use my battery grinder for griding out pointing jobs.
Cable can be a bastard when up a ladder.
Thats why I use one with a battery
work in a concrete products factory(slabs kerbs etc) i use hilti cordless grinders and wire brushes. purely because of convenience and safety of not having cables running along the floor
I’m a welder/millwright having a battery powered grinder is a godsend when you are 40+ feet up in the air straddling I beams. It used to be such a pain in the ass to run a cord to the lift and have 60+ feet of cord being dragged behind you when you work. The safety factor is a big part of that too. No cord for anyone to run into or get caught on. Iv had one to many occurrences of a grinder being ripped out of my hands after someone runs it over with a lift. All and all this is a great tool for those who really need it. If you are a shop worker and have access to outlets then stick with the corded. It will save you time and money. If you have no power source then you can’t go wrong with it.
On the junkyard i often go, they don't let anyone to use the power. Even if they did, what can i do if the junk i want to cut is 100 meters away? Extension cord? Generator? Forget about it. So yes, there are definitely a place for the cordless.
Being a millwright a cordless grinder out in the field is my go to. Shop.. corded grinder. For big stuff I start the welder jenny up and use my 15 amp grinder
im a welder , i do residential more thaN comercial and sometimes we need to cut 1 piece or grind something really quick and run extension cord outside the house we work for 1 cut is not worth it , cordless grinder comes really handy . we do use corded grinders at the shop
Working on towers would be impractical to drag a cable with there. This dewalt has changed the way I work saving me a lot of time
You had me spooked at the beginning of your video. For I'm a plumber and have been using an early model DeWalt cordless grinder for around 2 yrs now. For cutting 2,3,4 inch cast iron now and then. And I am able to cut two 4 inch cast iron pipe before the battery is drained . Also must leave battery to cool before charging. ( It's hot)
Usually. When I see a headline like that. I pass it up. And be inquisitive if and when I come across that
Oops. I use my best judgment on the tools that I use. For I like to work the tool just as you do.
Right on
The only thing I use my m18 grinder for is with a sanding disc for coping my trim instead of using a jigsaw.
when i worked at my job at Griffen i got one so i didn't have to drag 200 foot of cord around for a quick minute to five-minute job. cut a bolt, or cut a clamp on a hose. or other small jobs. but in such a nasty place it stopped working need to open it apart and see if it was just a fuse or not mine was a Dewalt DC410, hated it when it stopped but luckily I had an impact that used the same battery, so I got to use the battery for it and all the extra parts to my corded Dewalt grinder i got used at a pawn shop for 25 bucks
You just finish selling me a cordless grinder lol , thats the tool I use the most.
Right i love that thing. And the 1/2 inch drive impact.
No damn cords
@@OzZy-13820 im upgrading all my tools to battery operation, to charge them off grid, working in remote areas without cords is the best.
ring that bell like is 1776 ...... man that never gets old
great review man . thank you for this video . i am buying that shit tommorow.
Its 1776 time so yeah better ring the bell and wake up the sheep.
I really dont understand why u would need the Allen tightening tool I never use it just tighten it by hand hold disk firmly and tighten I really dont know anyone that uses them besides people who first start using them in other words amateurs
I am a maintenance tech and wireless is the way to go especially in tight spots
Cordless is better for quick repairs, as a maintenance person at my job every minute of downtime costs 60$ so running an extension cord is a massive waste versus getting the job done, cordless wont replace corded in the shop but it definitely has its place.
I love this grinder. Grinding out mortar joints for chimney flashing, it's been the best
i don't own very many tools, but from the information that i have gathered, batteries are great until they get beat around a bit. i had a battery powered die grinder that got dropped once and stopped working, then i have a corded one that has survived 2 years of being dropped, submerged, buried, and overheated. still works perfectly! cords are the way to go.
I do own the cordless DeWalt grinder and seriously it’s a great tool , as a maintenance operator the ability to move around and grind things with out a cord is great !👍🏻
Thanks for sharing
I have this tool because it came with a large dewalt set i purchased... i never would of purchased it on its own. But after using it very impressed even with the 20.volt battery. Now that i have one i wouldnt go without one. And i have 2 other cordless grinders already
Firstly, battery grinders are safer because if the cutting disc shatters the grinder stalls out immediately so pieces of disc aren’t thrown everywhere and secondly I have never needed an Allen key to tighten the disc into place. I have been using the DCG405 for over a year and have always found a quick twist of the disc is tight enough. I also don’t need to carry a generator in my van so there’s more space for tools and supplies and if you want to be completely anal about it think of the fuel you’re saving without the weight of the generator. Most of all you don’t need to piss about with extension cords etc. so you’re getting the job done more quickly and safely. Battery tools are the way forward.
I've found the keys to be handier for loosening than tightening.
I do grinding almost all day in manufactering, and being cordless means that I can work more easily without a stupid cord in the way and also cordless grinders have brakes so they make my work faster when I have to change the wheel.
i am putting a PVE panels on my roofs and i need to grind the roof tiles to fit the hooks on, i appreciate cordless grinder more for this job. all other jobs you are fine with the cord
i have 2 dewalt 20v grinders the older ones and i really like them I'm a blacksmith and when i go demo i can use them to brush up my work where there is no power and in my shop I'm not restricted with cords and tripping on them its a safety advantage for me
@VCG CONSTRUCTION I’ve been subscribed for a while now love the content! I’m a big Dewalt fan. I myself have about $5000 invested in dewalt and my favorite tool had to honestly be the 120v corded cordless miter saw!
Mine 2.
I have about the Same amount and the miter saw is cool I got the same one 2 flex volts or plug in
Due to what I’m doing I can’t bring a generator around, id sure like to, but I can’t. So chordless tools are needed if I don’t wanna do it by hand. I work alone and I’m constantly relocating, taht and my car can’t take a genorator
This tool is extremely useful and I do need it.. why? I work on scaffolding sometimes 4 story's in the air often on buildings without any power.. I need to cut material such as steel starter strip and vinyl shakes, which this tool equipped with a segmented Dimond blade does extremely well.
I use one on my deer stand out in the woods. And I was very glad I had it. I did not have to take a generator out there with me to work on my stand. This tool came in handy for cutting old rusted screws and bolts off to replace a wood floor that was rotting out in spots.
We use Metabo corded grinders at work....I love mine. Never had any issues and plenty of power!!!!💪🦾
I want variable speed.is this tool much to Ask?
That’s 67 amps. That means at max load you’d only only get about 13 minutes of run time. Realistically you’d probably get close to 30 minutes but still.
I install solar panels on houses roofs and i work all day up there. Cordless tools are much easier to use. So answering the question what job you need to have to use a cordless angle grinder, solar panels intalling could be one of them. All do respect sir, i watch your videos about dewalt and became a fan of dewalt;)
Skip the 20v and get the Flexvolt. I have both and like you say it's almost impossible to stall the power detect, but the Flexvolt is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN! The power detect is 1300 watts, just over 1.5 Horsepower, the new Flexvolt is 2300w, or 3HP, almost double the power and you feel it too! the much faster cutting speed also means you get more cuts per charge believe it or not. plus you get a much better grip, and a trigger is sooo much better than a paddle switch. I didn't think the guard adjustment system could be any better but they even improved that!
The only drawback: you need a more expensive battery, but since that battery is cross-compatible with all the 20v tools who cares!
I don't need an angle grinder and I rarely use one. But this video makes me wanna buy the Dewalt brushless angle grinder with the 8 AH battery.
Because grinding rust off a piece of metal looks very satisfying
It is odddly satisfying castamir!
VCG Construction yes sir!
I find it difficult to believe anyone doesnt need an angle grinder.
0:21 brief clip of the little mentioned ‘Flathead’ Angle grinder. I have this gem…its low profile front gearbox lets you get into tight spaces and use a little more disc material than the usual snub nose grinders.
To answer your question, underground coal mining. Everything has to be electric or diesel and approved by MSHA so no small generators. Extension cords that are long trip breakers, sometimes there is just no outlet.. we live on the big boy cordless grinders when it comes to doing welding and fabrication down there.
Fabricator here. I contend with a mig lead and a ground cable all day. I have a two grinder set up too. 2 30ft extensions. One with a Blending wheel, and number two with a cut off disk. The draw is one or two less cables to fuck with. Would probably only use it to clean fittings, or finish work.
A cordless is also awsome for pipe fitters crawlen around in a rack and our company buys Milwaukee but ours is gutless and it's still handy
My company specializes in steel construction. I have half a dozen cordless grinders. They are awesome. But it will never replace my corded options
i have the 60v grinder and i love mines i use my for tile and use for finish carpentry for coping trim
Love your videos, but used my 20v brushless dewalt almost every day at work until I burned it up. I used 6 ah batteries in it and I got a decent amount of run time. Now I have 2 m18 fuel grinders and I use the 8ah batteries. As an on site heavy equipment mechanic with out an a service truck its not always feasible to get 120v to the equipment or everything is 3 phase and no 120 around.
I work with metal on the feel and this tool help save time when it comes to remove old hinges or cutting a plate for a repair etc. it works great for o me!
I bought my Dewalt 20v XR grinder about a year and a half to 2 yrs ago, now I'm going to wont to upgrade, these tool companies are getting $20 grand from me every year, its getting ridiculous!!
As long as they’re making you money!!
My favorite thing about dewalt 20v and 60v flexvolt grinders are there guards and there guard lock system as well as the locking collate
Good point and applies to most tools.
But we are now buying in to battery systems. Batteries to tool companies do away with competition once we have invested in a battery system. Batteries are also like printer ink its were the money is. Its not really tools anymore its batteries.
I use the cordless grinder with a diamond masonry blade. And yes it does use batteries like they are 1991 12 volt Black and Decker batteries. As a bricklayer doing alot of tuckpointing, chimney and just masonry repairs. Cords and generators are not always efficient for us. So we do use the cordless grinder quite often. The Hilti brand grinder has the better battery life, (that I use at my union job) but for side work I use my dewalt DCG413 and its not the best for what I need it for but it gets the job done.
I just purchased the Dewalt DGG416 FLEXVOLT Advantage which uses the new Flexvolt Dewalt 20v/60v battery. I must say that I like this tool.
The fact that you said you were wrong is great, so many people lack the honor to do that.
I'd like to see this vs the previous 20v brushless grinder from dewalt
Yes exactly!! From looking at specs and the corded offerings I think this yellow top power detect will be 9amp and the original XR 7 amp equivalent.
its a dog. I have it for my son to use since he is learning to weld and trips over extension cords. Doesnt last very long on a 5ah and a knotted cup brush.
@@minituck04 really the power detect is that much better the older brushless grinder
The cordless grinders are good for quick jobs. I have a ryobi brushed one. It’s ok for light/quick work. I used it a couple of times to sand down screws that were sticking out. It worked good. Nice to not have to deal with the hassle of a cord.
Also for grinder safety I was always taught the wheel goes up. This way if it turns on the wheel is less likely to touch something and send the grinder flying. Cause putting it face down like that could have the disc rest on something and damage the disc.
Okay so I consider this video to somewhat be clickbait but not bad clickbait. Good solid points and I completely agree...Corded is always gonna be the better option for production work
You had me at the beginning.. I was like well what did he find that I didn’t show in my video because I love this tool. Lol. Light years from the Dewalt 18v.. be safe stay healthy buddy!
Thank you brother!
I know I am late to this video. You said why do you need a cordless grinder. In the UK I am a agricultural/equine fencing contractor the convenience no cords is worth to me every penny. Its more quiet as the grinder don't need a engine running in the middle of a equine paddock makes happier horses. Also with price fuel and service cost's of a generator and getting a pack test over 6 mouths we would if Brought that grinder
Also if its bad weather we not draing cords all though the crap and soil. when rapping leeds we keeps hands cleaner and makes or a cleaner finish as it's all about reputation also safer for my guys working in the rain no electric shocks. Also love how quickly the grinder turns off again safe.
Great grinder but i dont like that the guard doesn't lock completely. It still can move without pressing the lock button.
I ended up picking up the 413 bare tool a couple months back, love the convenience of being cordless, but does eat up batteries quick
I was looking at this one but went with the flexvolt because the grip was more ergonomic in my hands. But it is very neat how poweful these cordless tools are now. I also have the older dcg412 20v one and it is a decent little grinder but I'd guess it's runtime is not nearly as efficient as this power detect one. How much runtime did you get outta that 8ah?
That was one of the reasons why I purchase the Milwaukee Grindr because the guard is easy to adjust and also the knot has a flip wing which makes it easier to change grinder Wheels there's no more looking for the Fork to unscrew the knot just that Wing up
I woke in waterproofing and install flashing so yes this tool is very good and super useful. Yes there are snips but thicker metal calls for grinder cuts
lol... right now I'm doing tile punch out. this tool works great for it. most of the time when we put in window sill and there is NO power. this tool works great for it too.
Please help, I need to know how much to Pakistan!
I’m sorry, I’m not sure
well i was looking to buy one like the ones ive used at work, cheapish probably brushed grinders and they work decent enough, for mechanics we dont need much more and get a corded one for when i need it, but seeing these and the even better flex volts i think i may just buy one really good one and forget corded, i find the cord dangerous and cumbersome anyway. i agree, im pretty young, 28, and even i didnt think a battery grinder would replace a corded for a good few years, it appears its already come tho unless you are doing nothing but grinding all day, most jobs, having one charging and one being used this will last all day, with 3 batterys you could get pretty heavy use.
I use my 60 volt grinder pretty regularly. It's like being able to carry around a small chop saw. I thought you had to cut something off here they're not a big deal I don't have to run a ton of chords. I could use a sawzall most of the time but the grinder does a better job.
If they could just get rid of the need of the Allen key to tighten the wheels on! Do something similar to Metabo. That would be great!
I use mine everyday it’s designed to lock the bade when hand tightened I’ve had no issue with it coming loose over time
We would use it to bevel 8in pvc sewer or water line. so we wouldn't tear the gasket in the next joint, when we had to cut a piece. an rasping by hand isnt fun an it sucks to have to carrie a generator on rough ground an we put pipe in some rural areas lol
Well I hang signs for a living, so taking down the old ones it’s awesome having a battery powered grinder
It's less than 1 pound heavier but a extention cord can weight a good 5 pounds or more depending on length
I love my 4" grinder. I'm a roofer and use it a ton and its soo nice not having a cord. However I have a corded 7" for grunt and unlimited work time. But in the event of no availability of power I'd be able to push on through with the 20v
I just bought the flathead version i really like it so far. I had this one it had to go out for a repair. Its been out for almost 5 months do to the pandemic. Great tool
Im left without an angle grinder after my black and decker corded angle grinder gave up the ghost after years of faithful service. I was going to buy another corded grinder but i think im going for the dewalt cordless grinder as i already have the charger and batteries that came with my DCF899 impact gun
To answer the question of why do you need a cordless grinder. I work on scales. Running a cord in a truck scale pit isn’t always possible. A cordless grinder is sometimes a life saver.
The easy adjusting blade cover is my favorite feature of this grinder. Also I always hand tighten my blades & haven't had a single issue. They made it super easy to grip by hand.
I had a co-worker this fall cutting a thin strip of metal without a cover or auto shut off the then strip of metal caught between the blade and tightening mechanism. It spun the metal like a whip causing large cuts in his hand and braking a bone. He was out for 3-4 weeks, they had to file a workers comp' and cover $5000 in medical. My boss still does NOT require any grinding guards........
rushing anything can be EXTREMELY expensive. Whenever we do anything we have the imagine what could go wrong.?Therefore IMAGINATION equals SAFETY. No imagination equals DANGER☠️
I would love to see a comparison video of this grinder vs Milwaukee’s new cordless grinder. I’m a welder and in the market for a cordless grinder. Thanks for the video! Smashed the thumbs up 👍
Get the flex volt hands down
