Powerful 10 Amp Motor for Fast Material Removal
Versatile and aggressive, this small angle grinder features a 1.6-horsepower, 10 amp motor that's designed to deliver 11,000 rpm for efficient material removal. Its jam-pot design provides precise gear alignment and allows the grinder's transmission to be smooth and quiet. Also, the low-profile gear case allows the tool to fit easily into tight spaces, so you waste less time hand finishing hard-to-reach areas.

Designed for Comfort and Convenience
Getting the job done quickly and effectively is all about maneuverability. This paddle-switch tool weighs 4.6 pounds and features a switch lock-on and multiposition side handle for multiple grip options. Rubber over-mold on the side handle also reduces vibration and fatigue and allows for excellent control--no matter how tough the job is.

The grinder also features a keyless adjustable guard that allows for hassle-free tuning. In addition, the grinder's matching wheel flanges allow it to be used with a wide range of common accessories.

Performance and Durability
Grinding applications produce a lot of dust and debris, which can be tough on motors and mechanisms. This grinder features a patented DEWALT Dust Ejection System, which improves durability by ejecting damaging dust particles that enter the tool. In addition, a one-piece brush arm prevents brush hang-up due to dust or debris. For durability, this grinder's auto-off brushes shut the tool down when the brushes need replacing, which helps you avoid tool damage and minimizes the cost of upkeep

Quick, Easy Wheel Changes and Maintenance
An oversized, spindle-lock button and Quick-Change wheel release keep wheel removal tool free. A keyless adjustable guard also provides tool-free adjustment to increase productivity.

The D28402K 4-1/2-Inch Small Angle Grinder Kit comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

I needed a grinder to restore an old Porsche so I went shopping. I really liked the on/off switch position on the Milwaukee grinders. Most others had these inconveniently placed switches. The D28402K's switch is pretty good. It is very comfortable in your hand and light. And the power... OH WOW! I sharpened my lawn mower blade in just a few minutes. I can't believe that I had sharped them by hand before.

The case in very nice. It is heavy duty plastic. There is a holder in there for your grinding and cut off wheels. The handle can be put on either side if you are left or right handed.

Bottom Line - I love it. This is my second DeWalt too. It won't be my last.

This review is from: DEWALT D28402K 4-1/2-Inch Small-Angle Grinder Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I needed a new grinder for grinding a concrete patio. My previous one burned out (it was a cheap one - $30, 5.8 amps). I decided to go with a good one this time. It has power to spare (10amp). Never slowed down during my grinding like my old one. It also did not get overheated like my old one. This is a great addition to my tool collection - especially Dewalt.

Even came with a carrying case.

This review is from: DEWALT D28402K 4-1/2-Inch Small-Angle Grinder Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've used grinders at work but I've never owned one of my own. Now dewalt may not be top dog when it comes to technology or enervation (like Bosch or Panasonic) but they usually make simple, tough and reasonably affordable tools. That's really about all the counts. Most grinders I've used seems to be about the same in design so I didn`t care much about witch I picked as long as it was a good name brand. I started my tool collection off with dewalt long ago so that's what I have stuck with. I like that paddle switch on this one, they are fragile but easy to work with. This particular one is self off locking, there is a little bit you have to rotate to push the switch down that`s on the switch. It was a little strange at first but quickly became comfortable to do. Also this one can be held on, as most can, simple click the paddle and it turns off. The only thing I don't like is that if you where to drop it that locking mechanism on the paddle part of the switch may brake... The handle is a simple screw in, screw out deal that you can put on ether side of it. I don't need to cut structural members all day so the 10 amps, 11K rpm and 4-½" size are plenty for round the shop jobs. Fast and powerful enough to cut a car frame but not to fast to use mild "scotch bright" type abrasives if need be. This one has a quick change threaded washer witch can be use for cutting disks or grinding disk without needing a backing ring or spacer for proper clamping and centering.

The case has provisions for holding disks (7/8" hole), right now I've got four 1/8" cutting, one ¼ grinding and two flap wheels in the holder. The tool still fits level in the case but any more and it might not. I don't think screw on accessories are made to fit in the holder (as it has a 5/8 thread), but there is room in the case for a crimp brush or what ever else wont fit in the disk holder.

Over all not a bad package for a hundred bucks or so.
