Customer Reviews for DEWALT 20V MAX XR Cordless Brushless 4.5 in. Paddle Switch Small Angle Grinder with Kickback Brake (Tool Only)

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Good quality built, feels good in hand. EATS BATTERIES! This will go through 5AH batteries in 10-15mins if you are actually using the grinder for anything besides cutting paper clips in half. I was using mine on a schoolie conversion that my buddy is doing. We had to cut the seats off the brackets to get to the bolts. I only cut through 3-4 seats to look at my battery and see that it only had one brick of power left. A few more minutes of poor performance and then it died. Keep in mind I was using a fresh off the charger, fully charged, BRAND NEW, Dewalt 5ah battery. Also the grinder was brand new. Do not buy this unless you are doing very light duty work! Otherwise get a corded one.

Grinder, cutter works well It would be nice if it was more compact.

This is a well balanced grinder. The paddle switch is what makes this Dewalt a great bang for the buck

It worked as expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last October and have used it a number of times. Most recently this summer I used it to cut rebar sticking up thru a beach from an old break wall.

The brake does not work on the grinder

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned a lot of angle grinders and this cuts a things like butter. I use it in multiple surfaces and it performs in all of them. I would recommend the bigger 20v batteries for this one since it uses the regular ones up quickly. The safety features on it are awesome love the kickback brake.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old 18v quit so we upgraded to this and just incredible how much nicer it is. Smooth start and the switch works great. Another top notch addition to the tools

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] very happy. Dont use electric any more. power to spare.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son gave this to me as Father's Day present; thought it would be an OK item in workshop. Now, I seem to carry it in my vehicle to all rentals, as the need for something 'quick & easy' happens often during repairs. Always carry a small pack of extra wheels, but never an extra battery, which is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a elevator constructor by trade and can say this grinder is a favorite of everyone.my only problem is my coworkers like it as much as I do.i finally had to tell them to get their own because I was tired of chasing it down when I needed it.its great for cutting ductwork .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's not a replacement for a corded grinder for doing lots of consecutive grinds, but when matched with a cut-off wheel or a flapper for cleanup this grinder shines. Its portability makes it in an entirely different class, and it's powerful enough to do most small jobs without a problem. Fits well into any Advanced DIY tool box.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought to use with a fixture for mower blade sharpening. Perfect. Does the job quick and no cords in the way.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool has saved me countless hours having to setup the generator and plug in the grinder just to get a small project done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy not needing to worry about setting up dropcords and looking for a nearby outlet every time I need to use this tool! Extremely convenient for quick cutting of bolts, metal and even sanding wood projects. Plenty of power with excellent feel and balance. Great addition to my workshop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned mine for about a year now and use it twice a month on random jobs. It works amazing and I’ve had no issues yet. I highly recommend for the DIY’r.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Most everyone uses a corded grinder, but I am able to get to work fast, nit having to look for a plug. Does everything I ask of it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is amazing, it has more power then I ever thought as much as a corded grinder. It has great battery life also, there’s not much more I can say except this thing is nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this tool for about 2 or 3 years, however long it has been out... Upgraded from the older brushed 20v version, and i like the paddle switch a lot better because it doesnt torque my wrist as bad when using one handed. I use this for sanding, cutting, sometimes grinding too, but not one main task. I like the brake, keeps me from having to slow it on my shoe or something so i dont damage the floor when setting it down.

Great tool, battery life is just awesome.

More compact and smoother than other Dewalt models due to the brushless design. Good compact tool.

Love this thing! Works like a champ!
