These grinders are replacing the older DW402. We run all our grinder with 5" grinding and sanding wheels. It was a tough go for the older DW402 which would last for 2-4 years of daily use. The new D28402 has even more power and the grip/switch fits better into your hand. We tried $20-$40 and $100 to $150 grinders and found these grinders stand up great, are easy to handle, easy to take apart, you can get parts for them, and the parts are inexpensive. So far we have 8 of them in our shop.

On a saftey note don't leave them on the floor. The tendancy is to put them down with the wheel up. You may end up turning the grinder on by stepping on the switch. This cannot happen with griders that have slide switches. Even with this we preffer this grinder.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Dewalt Grinder for me, May 6, 2008

This is the second angle grinder I purchased, the first one is the 7amp model from Dewalt. I got this one simply to save on time from switching out my grinding discs to cut off wheels. Both of the grinders have the quick-change system but it is still a bother to do that in the middle of a job.

I mainly use this one for cutting through steel and some `artistic' grinding with the cut off wheel. My work is generally light and typically the grinders only run for a few minutes at a time with about a half dozen or so runs in an hour. My primary use for this grinder is cutting of all my steel welding projects.

The guard is fully adjustable and the side handle can of course be swapped to the other side. Removing the guard allows for greater use of the grinding and cut off discs at the peril of flying debris/sparks and the chance that the disc will fly apart as you wear it down. This hasn't happened to me with any of the grinding or cut off discs I've gone through but I stay safe with safety glasses as well as a full-face shield.

I chose to go `up' with this higher amp model since cutting through steel is more aggressive on the motor and takes more time than the grinding that I do with the other 7amp version. Only time will tell how the grinder holds up but I don't foresee the kind of use I put it to killing it anytime soon.

Just like a new one but with a lower price tag. This is my second one, both work, but are set up with different disc attachments to speed up work productivity.
