DCG405N Angle Grinder, 9000 RPM, Black/Yellow, 1 Piece

Really pleased with mine. For smaller jobs like cutting through bolts etc my 5A DeWalt batteries last quite a long time. I decided to review this DeWalt battery powered angle grinder after using it for a while which is a thing I usually do with more expensive tools. It is a very well made quality power tool. I really like the allen key method of changing a cutting / grinding disk because it is safer. Those standard keys with two small pins often slip and then you can scrape your knuckles. This allen key method is an improvement on speed and safety. When using the angle grinder for continuous work I discovered my two 5.0 ah deWalt rechargable batteries (my own – they were not supplied with the grinder) were more than adequate for removing a damaged old rendered section from my gable end wall. At no point did I run out of battery power and have to wait for another battery still charging. While cutting steel however, depending on the thickness of the steel and the amount of cuts required, you may find it depletes the battery power very quickly. I needed to cut through one 30mm x 6mm flat bar and I did not manage it on a single fully charged 5.0 ah DeWalt battery. So if you are cutting several you can expect a point where you are wasting time waiting for batteries to charge, therefore faced with that senario I would probably get my old 240v plug-in 4” angle grinder on the job. But that is an unusual situation for a diyer like me. Usually I just need to cut through a bolt or a thinner piece of bar and on masonry like pavers, tiles or bricks it will go through them like butter (with the correct disk) and the battery charge will last depending on the material composition. Concrete with pebbles would be more challenging that bricks or pavers. Also don’t forget the convenience of not having power leads all over the place causing trip hazards and limiting movement. Portable battery powered tools are a fantastic success story. I am now a pensioner and as a kid I would watch my father drill into brick by hammering a thin pointed chisel type thing while rotating it. It was an early rawl plug kit that came with fibre rawl plugs and that rotate and hammer tool was top spec those days. Getting back to the DeWalt angle grinder. The support handle has a really good grip and can be screwed in either side of the head depending on a person being left or right handed. There is a button on the head of the grinder to lock the disk from rotating while removing /replacing it. Also the fabricated steel disk safety shield is adjustable with a spring held button. This is a top quality power tool. It looks great. It is very durable and I will not be lending it out to anyone. Nor will I leave it in my shed.

Works a treat, disc changes are simple and secure, solid and smooth power and very sturdy construction.

Great product, best in the business

Bought this as I wanted to replace a corded 4.5 inch Makita - purely for the blade brake and ability for the machine to cut the power if it detects the disc being stressed. Yes it's expensive for a DIY tool but the safety features are only available on cordless ones... so took the plunge. I've used it to cut 16mm rebar and slice some dense 7n concrete blocks. All handled with ease. I already had a couple of 5Ah batteries but it went through both of them when cutting the blocks - it's quite battery hungry! Not surprising though as it feels WAY more powerful than the 4.5 inch Makita. If you're after a cordless grinder then this, in my view, is an absolute winner. Mind you, it comes with no batteries so that's extra on top. If you have the batteries then this is a no-brainer.

Quality item at a fare price. Excellent service

ease of use as have not got to plug it in

It's good product

Really like it, as a DIYer with a few DeWalt tools went for this while at a good price. First job was to cut down the sheet steel tops and bottoms off some Venetian blinds. It felt very powerful and very precise, and being cordless makes it such a pleasure to use. I don't want to mark it down too much on battery, it uses lots because it's a proper full power angle grinder. However, I would comment it will get through a third of a 2Ah battery with about a minute's use so don't expect to cut all your patio slabs if you only have 2 of this capacity battery, you may be waiting around for them to charge!

Excellent produit

Generally not impressed with dewalt anymore the quality has gone down hill from 10 15 years ago. Just feels cheap tat now days.

Todo bien, se incluyen dos fundas protectoras. Buena herramienta, bien empaquetada, entregada a tiempo, esta es mi segunda, funciona perfectamente.

Richtig geiles Teil. Bin voll überzeugt und zufrieden. Beste Flex, die ich je hatte! Hab erst wegen des Preises gehadert, aber das Geld habe ich nach wenigen Wochen vergessen und freue mich einfach jedes Mal, wenn ich das Ding in die Hand nehme.
