I’m a HGV mechanic and use grinders all the time. I was cautious buying this one because older Dewalt models and even snap-on and makita battery powered grinders are generally quite weak and stall a lot. This thing is an absolute animal! Bought alongside some 5ah batteries and it’s as strong as a corded grinder and lasts for ages. I would recommend any tradesmen this grinder over any other brand as I have already trialled and tested them all and this is by far the best

Dewalt state this tool must be used with a type 1 closed guard when used with composite cutting discs. The item doesn't come with such a guard and I cannot buy one that fits this tool. I have written to Dewalt 3 times asking where I can purchase one and they haven't even replied. The tool isn't safe for its intended purpose, according to their own instruction manual.

I had few battery powered grinders before, but nothing could compete to this one. It has same power as mains powered grinders, plus it stops when disk get seized. Fits into hand perfectly. But 5Ah genuine battery is minimum as it is really hungry.

As usual, good De Walt tool. Delivered on time (actually a day early!), Well packaged and in good condition. Used already. Stronger than I thought a Battery grinder would be. Only thing is that it doesnt like 2Ah batteries. So have ordered some 5Ah to get best use. Am I happy with purchace: Yes,very.

Using with a 9Ah battery gives about an hours work, although after that if the disc is not balanced you hands are deffinately feeling it due to the lower machine weight. Once the battery is down to under 10% only then did I notice that the motor seemed to slow. The switch is a bit different in that it is latching and one on will continue to run and you can move your hands, although from a safety persepective it may not be ideal but from a work perspective quite useful. The switch is not in the ideal position but the lactching makes this a bit irrelevant. Arrived today and already had a couple of hours use and being use to trailing power cables all over the place this feels like a good choice after deburring some large steel and removing 2yrs surface rusting from 100x60 RHS. Batteries are the slow evolving future, just like the computer.Read full review
