A grinder is a supremely useful tool for everything from polishing stone to cutting rebar. Cordless grinders are even better, offering the freedom to move around and get into all the nooks and crannies of a job without worrying about accidentally grinding through a power cord. If your tool collection doesn’t currently include a cordless grinder, Amazon has a great angle grinder from DeWalt on sale right now with a big discount.
The DeWalt 20V Max Paddle-Switch Grinder is on sale for $118 at Amazon, 41% off its normal $199 price tag. This deal is on the bare tool only, so you’ll need to use one of the DeWalt 20V Max batteries from another tool or get a new one starting at around $40.
Rare DealPros
- Powerful performer, with a brushless motor that can deliver 9,000 no-load RPM
- Lightweight (3.55 pounds) with an ergonomic handle, so it won’t fatigue your arms even over long periods of use
- Includes mesh screens to prevent debris from causing damage to internal components
Cons
- Bare tool only, so BYOB (bring your own battery)
Starting under the proverbial hood, this grinder immediately impresses. It has an efficient brushless motor with overload protection that can maintain a constant wheel speed under load. The paddle-switch on the side makes it easy to start and stop the grinder, offering solid control and safer operation. And speaking of safety, there’s a kickback brake and electronic clutch that work together to ensure this tool doesn’t send you flying.
One shopper bought this grinder to level out some cinderblock joiner but ended up first using it to grind down some lawnmower blades. That’s a good encapsulation of how useful this tool can be for a very diverse set of tasks. One shopper said its “versatile power” was great to have on hand, and this “very powerful, fun to use tool” has “many applications” beyond these.”
Other customers wrote that this is an “easy to use tool that will tackle anything” and called it “superior” to other grinders on the market. They also “love the paddle switch” and that this grinder “has plenty of power and the battery lasts longer than expected.”
