DEWALT DW802 4-1/2-Inch Small Angle Grinder

Product Description

Amazon.com

Light, compact and so powerful, this little angle grinder means business when it meets metal. A walloping 9-amp motor produces an impressive 10,000 rpm to slice through just about anything, from angle iron to pipes and beams--it's surprising how fast the 802 cuts through material, given its compact size. The guard is keyless, making for faster accessory changes (and no lost wrenches), and the spindle lock is on the side for comfortable access (and protection from drops). Just screw on a wire cup brushes or wheel or attach a cutting or grinding wheel and you're ready. We like the paddle switch design with the safety lock-off to prevent accidental startups, and of course, there's a lock-on, too, for prolonged use and no hand fatigue. The grip is sure and comfortable, and the streamlined gearcase lets you maneuver the tool into tight spots. Bravo, DeWalt, for the automatic turn-off brushes that shut down the tool when the brushes need to be changed, preventing internal damage. With occasional cleaning with clean, compressed air, this grinder will serve for years and years.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5.0 out of 5 stars The third and best grinder, July 2, 2004

This review is from: DEWALT DW802 4-1/2-Inch Small Angle Grinder (Tools & Home Improvement)

I had the opportunity to get myself in deep (up to my ears) in a welding project and needed a grinder. Well as it turns out this is the third grinder I have had to buy and it is by far the best. My first grinder was a cheap chinese unit that SCREAMED loudly and didn't last. The second unit was a Ryobi unit available from your local home improvement center, quiet and smooth but with a fatal flaw that was a consant problem, when you set it down it hits the power switch and turns on momentarily flying all over the place, at 10000 RPM this is a problem. The switch failed mercifully and I gladly threw it away. This Ryobi angle grinder did not last very long, another Made in China wonder. Speaking of switches that brings us back to the Dewalt unit which has a safety latch on the switch, that works very well. It's quiet, safe, and made in America. Oh by the way, ALLWAYS use ear and eye protection when grinding and cutting metal!
