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. Review: Very powerful and good to use - 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. ## Features - 18V Brushless Motor - Electronic Brake stops the wheel quickly when the trigger is released - Electronic Clutch reduces the kickback reaction in the event of a pinch or stall - SOFT START feature allows a slow speed build-up to avoid an initial jerd when starting - Two position side handle offers greater comfort and control ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074V6QSNH | | Best Sellers Rank | 128,573 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 267 in Angle Grinders | | Brand | DEWALT | | Colour | Multi-colour | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 4,270 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05035048665503 | | Horsepower | 1000 | | Included Components | DCG405N XR Brushless Grinder 125mm 18V Bare Unit | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 33L x 16W x 13H centimetres | | Item Type Name | DCG405N XR Brushless Grinder 125mm 18V Bare Unit | | Item Weight | 1 kg | | Manufacturer | AmazonUk/3K3AF | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 9000 RPM | | Model Number | DCG405N-XJ | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | DEWDCG405N | | Power source | AC | | Product dimensions | 33L x 16W x 13H centimetres | | Style | Single | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 18 Volts | | Wattage | 1000 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DEWALT - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 33L x 16W x 13H centimetres - **Style:** Single ## Images ![DCG405N-XJ 18V XR Brushless 125mm Angle Grinder, Multi-Colour - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U4CquFDcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Whats the difference between this and the dewalt dcg405n** A: 7000rpm and 9000 rpm. brush and Brushless motor. new design (same engineering as a Milwaukee) **Q: Does it work on flex volt battery 18-54 volt** A: Yes it works fine, I occasionally use one of my flex volt batteries on my grinder if I am doing a lot of grinding, The flex-volt give either 18 or 54 and the 9Ah lasts an incredibly long time and the weight difference is not that much when using it for long periods. **Q: Looking for steal disc for cutting what size do i need** A: For this grinder-125mm **Q: Does it come in the genuine dewalt box?** A: Hello, in answer to your question ... it depends which package you buy. I purchased the naked version so no, it didn't come in a genuine Dewalt box.
