DeWALT DWE4206K-GB Angle Grinder, 230 V, Yellow/Black

Easy to use, well-made grinder - useful case, too. I've not owned a grinder before but I found this very easy to get used to. The long (about 4m) cable is also helpful. It's hard to find fault but, if I was being picky, I'd say that the locking clasps on the case could have been made of more substantial material - they feel very flimsy; that said, they haven't failed yet. If you do register the tool on the DeWalt website for the extended warranty then you may find their instructions for finding the serial number a bit confusing - they say that it will be on the side of the grinder body and not on the box, but it isn't! This particular model has all the information printed on a sticker attached to the side of the case, which seems a bit daft as you'd have to return the case as well if the grinder needs to be repaired under warranty... I did report this to DeWalt, so maybe they'll update their website or start putting the info on the grinder body.

Nice and powerful, reasonably cool running and good value for money. I use this grinder everyday in a very taxing industrial environment and so far it hasn't missed a beat. It had a nice ergonomic shape, the switch engages with a reassuring snap and is easy to operate. The casing is tough and highly impact resistant and also doesn't seem affected by the usual oils and other grime associated with a workshop. On the whole I would recommend this grinder for either home workshop or professional use.

This grinder is a beast. It' s got loads of power. It is a pleasure to use. The slide switch is perfect and the no volt release is great. It is so easy to adjust the guard. I was a bit dubious about the allen key to release the lock nut for the disc but now that I have used it I think it is much better than the old style pin wrench.

Arrived well packaged, on time and is everything you would expect from DeWalt - good quality build, sturdy little grinder and easy to use with a nice long lead (for those who don't go for cordless). (For the NOOBS) . . Seriously! make sure know the difference between 'cutting' discs and 'grinding' discs - your health will thank you if you do! (you'd understand if you ever saw an idiot use a cutting disc to grind with and witnessed it shatter and chew his face . . . just saying). Its not for kids.

Well made. Fits my hands nicely. Simple one-touch adjustable guard. Can't speak to reliability as I've only had it a few days. But I thought I'd write this as I'd seen a previous review saying there was no wrench in the box. The nut does look as though it needs a pin wrench and while it would probably work with one, Dewalt supply a hex key which fits in either of the two holes that are hex shaped (2 holes are hex shaped; 2 holes are round) in other words you don't need to buy an extra pin wrench.

decent but with one big problem : You cannot buy a backing pad that will take sanding pads of 30/80/120grit because the nut is too short. A stupid design fault when you start cutting corners and sending your production to CHINA. Never again Amazon unless they start paying their fair amount of taxes in the UK and never again made in china.

Unlike my previous angle grinder which took both hands to slide the on off switch (which felt dangerous) this is easier to turn off and on with one hand. The power of these for a small 115mm grinder is good but you pay for that with the weight of them. These weigh twice as much as my old Bosch grinder, they perform twice as good but there is that compromise. I am not sure if I would want to use these on any delicate grinding jobs i.e. car body repairs due to the weight but seeing as I bought these for building work i.e. tile and brick cutting that’s not a problem for me. I only wish that the handle could be mounted on the top as this design only allows for the handle to be mounted on the left or right of the body. They come with a sturdy box and a long power cord longer than my Bosch grinder had. I have used these with good quality blades to cut porcelain floor and wall tiles and solid limestone flags, so far so good.

I’ve only used it to cut tiles so far but I was very pleased with it. I had read that some grinders had a problem with the on/off switch but there was no such problem with this one, it has a positive action for both on and off. Thought at first that it might be a bit heavy for the tile cutting but it was fine. Very glad I bought this grinder, I am very pleased with it.

Non l ho ancora provato a fondo, un po pesante per essere un 115 cm, cavo lungo, Attenzione da questo negozio inglese lo forniscono con presa inglese, inutilizzabile in Italia, ho dovuto sostituirla con una più comune shuko, non ha il filo di massa. In questi giorni lo proverò e farò un implementazione. Bene, ho avuto modo di provarlo, sia per tagliare che per levigare, inoltre l'ho usato con una spazzola di acciaio per pulire dalla ruggine, l'impressione è positiva, un po rumoroso ma ha una potenza straordinaria, frulla sempre, strumento da profesionista.
