DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Angle Grinder with Kickback Brake, 4-1/2-Inch to 6-Inch, Tool Only (DCG418B)

I just picked up the *DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX Angle Grinder (DCG418B), and I’m honestly blown away by how awesome it is. If you need a grinder that gets the job done, this is it. This thing has some serious power. The 60V battery delivers a ton of punch, and it chews through metal and concrete like it’s nothing. I’ve used it for a few heavy-duty jobs, and it hasn’t skipped a beat. The handle is comfy, and it’s not super heavy, even though it packs a lot of power. I’ve used it for long stretches without getting too tired or uncomfortable, which is always a win.

Love this thing, cuts faster and more power than the guys at work that have Milwaukee’s

Best 6" battery grinder on the market

Very powerful, but be prepaid with a few batteries, maybe 20 minutes of use with a 6 amp hour battery. Still worth the power.

If this thing is as good as I think it is, there is much more to do with this. Any tool that is built by a mass manufacture should be a starting point of a tool we need in small business. I took the 36 volt NANO to a 6 wheel 4 years ago, and if the 36 can do a 6 wheel easy, then I believe a 60 volt can do a 9 wheel the same way. Flexvolt is going to be higher in horsepower but lower in torque. This is the compitition tool I aim to kill.Stihl TSA 230 (not linkable on Amazon) To increase the size of the wheel we need to increase the size of the guard. This can be crossed to a 9 inch DeWalt corded guard. The issue at this point is the thickness of the guard mount, the bigger they get the thicker they are.The Stihl tool is $1200+ the DeWalt is $400+ and can do the same thing ,Me believes,, for much longer as the Stihl in 36 volt. It is not coming till August but I believe I have pretty much all the design work done for the modified tool. One very important note, you have to stop the blade in product and not let the firmware try to stop a 9 inch wheel in 1 1/2 seconds!! That could blow apart the gearcase. (throwback to why drill bits come lose in 20 drills, firmware) If you understand how the tool works it will last a long time. If one ignores procedures and is not trained for such firmware shortcomings your productive day just went out the window. Other than that everything else works to go to a 9 inch blade.Beating the Germans in tool design, that would be a very proud moment for me, but I can't thank them enough for SDS drills, tip of the hat.See image.If one can take the heat out of the cut, one can make a lot more cuts.The carborundum blade has peaked, a diamond blade is faster with much less heat. And emissions.Energy storage is progressing @ 1% per month, that is an efficiency gain of 12% per year. Tool designers need to step up to that same rate of gain,or get left behind $.

Item was listed as used in new condition...and it was. Just a few scratches but hell, it's an angle grinder. Came with all accessories too. The flexvolt motor has more than enough power. Would definitely buy used again.

This grinder is pretty awesome. It handles a wide range of blades from a 4 1/2” to 6”. But for a 4 1/2” grinder it’s heavy. My 20v will do 4”-5” and weighs a lot less. When you’re using it one handed it makes a difference.It’s best for larger projects using the 6 inch diamond cup. Since it is too heavy for 4 1/2” grinder, I wish they would have gone all the way and made it a 7 inch grinder.

Great tool! I had a demolition project of removing a bunch of old 1.5" black steel boiler piping in a crawlspace that I was not looking forward to. I was originally going to use a reciprocating saw but after rattling my teeth out on a couple of cuts, I needed to try something else. This grinder worked perfectly for the purpose and was alot easier on my body than using the reciprocating saw. I ended up discharging nearly two 6ah flexvolt battery completely making about 30 cuts. Make sure you have a spare battery charged if you are doing a big job, I was glad I did. However, given the depth of each cut, the battery life really isn't that bad. Especially considering the light weight of the tool and not having to drag an extension cord around with you. It was absolutely perfect for the cramped crawlspace work. Honestly, pretty good ergonomics on the tool, the weight feels balanced. Its super easy to spin the guard around for left vs right hand use. I tried to be careful with my cuts and avoid pinching the cutoff wheel, and mostly succeeded. The built in anti-kickback brake worked perfectly for the couple of times that the cut pipes ended up pinching the wheel. I was very impressed that I didn't end up breaking any cutoff wheels during the job. I don't think you would go wrong buying this tool.
