![CORDLESS GRINDER KING - DeWalt DCG418 FlexVolt 4-1/2 to 6-inch Grinder [3 HORSEPOWER]](/img/1.gif)
I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read ruclips.net/user/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
I love all my brushless dewalt power tool. They're a godsend when I needed a portable and powerful tool for the job. No more worries about carrying extension cord and finding the outlet for it. Makes life so much easier for all of my DIY project. This tool will be on my next wish list.
Exactly the review I was looking for!! Thanks for comparing these two. I just picked up a new DCG416 for less than the DCG413. Booyah!
That's a bargain. Great catch. Thanks for watching.
The cordless angle grinder is the single greatest gift to crooks and burglars since the invention of the crowbar.
Love mine when I take it to get what's not mine
hahaha to funny and so true lol
Alrighty then. Lol. Thanks for watching.
Bit noisy...not ideal
And its ideal for people who use tools. I know mr 2 year old comment. You think no one uses tools for work. But they do.
I've switched over from a combination of various brands, as well as the older Dewalt 18V to all Dewalt 20/60Volt. I recently had a DCG413 stolen, and purchased this CG416 after this review to replace it. The DCG416 is everything I loved about the DCG413, but STRONGER! Love it! Thanks for your recommendation.
2 Questions:
1) You were apparently using an abrasive cutoff wheel instead of a diamond wheel.... Why?
2) What wheel would you normally use to bevel heavy metal for welding? It looked like that wheel was cutting much faster than the grinding wheels I normally use, so I'm wondering what would work better?
Great review just bought the dcg418x1 kit cant wait to try it out.
You won't regret it
What is the best kind of disk too use for a bevel grind? Like for sharpening a lawnmower blade
Also are any of the cordless grinders variable speed or is that only found on corded grinders?
Damn great review!I watch a lot of tool reviews and have to say you were born to do these!!
Truly appreciate that. Thanks for watching.
The Dewalt non Flexvolt DCG415 (from Lowes only I think) is supposedly the same as the 416 in terms of power, when using the 20v 8AH battery.
Love your videos, are the Dewalt XR 6.0 batteries 21 700 cells or 18 650s?
Hey Tim any idea what the power output is on the 416 with either batteries. . Sure looks close to 1300 watts or possibly abit more awesome review . Thanks for the video
I'm just curious how long you need to see the battery level light?
I enjoyed your review very real and honest
Where do you find the wide variety of flexvolt tools?
Great comparison!!!
Thank you very much and thanks for watching.
Is the dust shroud dwe46152 compatible?
Can I use a flex volt battery on a 20v tool ?
May I use dewalt 20volt batteries with this tool or do
I use specific ones?
Yes, you can run the regular 20V batteries as well on this grinder. Thanks for watching.
I got the DCG409 grinder (I guess the same machine as in the video just with sliding switch) and I don't understand what DeWalt thought when designing the box. You always have to remove the cutting disc to put it back in the box. The machine itself does its job just fine so far.
I'm guessing you're from the U.K? I wish they brought that grinder over with the slide lock switch. The only FlexVolt advantage grinders that we get have the paddle trigger. As a tile guy I need a grinder which stays on when doing intracity cuts. I cut one toilet hole in porcelain tile and my forearm was dead.
@jonathan0o0dawKins dude, you gotta rig up a thumb operated hinge lock. You won't regret it haha!
Does the flexvolt battery give more power than the 6, or 8ah battery? How does the 6 or 8ah battery compare to the 5ah?
Yes, the FlexVolt gives more power than the 6.0. Thanks for watching.
also I'd like to see this vs the metabo 36v grinder with the 4.0 battery and the adapter also the DeWalts with the flexvolt ac adapter
Excellent video!!!
Thank you very much!
the 60v has lots of power but sucks so much dust from ceramic tiles.one face mask for each dust intake = 2 dust masks haha.I dont have to blowout copius amounts of dust out every time i use it now. Rearward inlet on the 20v is way better than sucking dust into the tool
That's a great point, and thanks for sharing. Thanks for watching.
thanks for the review i think you were calling 418 413 at the end though. @shoptoolreviews
I know, I got them mixed up. I tried to correct my verbiage with the text on the screen. Thanks for watching.
Can you turn the head on the flexvolt advantage like you can on the 60v
Yes
Wish U show us some cutting with 418 aswell.
Good and useful information
you changed the leverage point of the weight on the second cut.. you had the rope further forward so putting more weight on the grinder.
Do your friends call you Captain? As in, Captain Obvious? :D
I'm about to snag the 60v grinder with a 9.0 kit for 276.99 after tax from a local hardware store unless I can find a place online where I can get it cheaper
The 50% more power claim was for the 5ah 20v battery vs the flexvolt 6ah. The 6ah 20v has 21700 cells so it is already putting out pretty good. Id assume youd get a small bump in power using the bigger flexvolt batteries as well.
I got both of them and I can telling you the yellow one is more heavy, it’s not comfortable for me
My question is if 416 is better, why boht have the same price?
Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
...battery life test?
Ayeeeeee let’s get it
You know it! Thanks for the comment.
Does the DeWalt DCG416B has variable speed??
The DCG416 is not a variable speed grinder. The DCG416VS is.
The test no is the same for both tool delete flexbolt win XR
Nice little video. I own some FlexVolt Advantage tools and some Power Detect tools and they Both have Great Power , more than enough to do any job...👍👍
Very cool! Thanks for watching.
It's definitely better , however Dewalt has way to many versions of this or that. But definitely faster
Agreed, it's hard to keep up with all their models. Thanks for watching.
I'll wager that they could provide more tool for the money if they would simplify things. Marketing dipshits mess everything up it seems.
I had the first dewalt grinder awesome grinder but unfortunately I sent it out for repair and never got it back. But now I have the flathead I like it even more
They never sent your grinder back?! That's crazy. The flat-head grinder is very handy, great tool. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews i did finally get the grinder back it was in 2 pieces they said not fixed. I took a look and fixed it in 10 minutes. Its now great having both
@@jasonvandervalk3679 what was the problem with it? Also was it the 413 one?
@@tarzan7239 I did finally get it back over a year later, it was in 2 pieces. So I decided to try and fix it. It originally fell on the floor and what happened was the gears got moved and the mesh was tight. I managed to fix it.
@@jasonvandervalk3679 oh I see, I'm gonna get my hands one one of this grinders and if this happens to me in the future I know where to start looking, Thanks for sharing. : )
The commentator referred to the 418 as the 413 several times toward the end of the comparison
Do your friends call you Captain? Asking for a friend, Captain Obvious.
Just a curious Dewalt grinder newbie . You are using a Type 1 disk in the video. Shouldn't you be using a Type 1 guard with a Type 1 disk (like the Dewalt manual says) or is it common practice among experienced users like yourself to ignore the manuals and the safety advice in them?
Lol. 🦗 🦗
@@sirmixalot3332 hahaha 😂
I bet you're a real hoot at parties.
The first cut you did with the DCG413 is flawed. You hung the weight in a further-back position. You do realize that where you hang the weight makes a difference, right? That's why the first cut was about 2 seconds slower. Please try to be more consistent in the future.
You touched the 418 and called it 413. Just saying! Great video. I bought a 416 for $120 plus tax and it's working fine
Dewalt tool connect?
Yes, I mention this in the video. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews i know thats where i heard it. I did not know the full range was out and active. It is one of those 'word around the campfire' things and i stopped the video immediately and went to look it up. Mind blown. Dewalt is not doing much to promote this feature. I knew they wanted to broaden it just had no idea it was pretty standard in many of the new tools. Would have been nice to know before hand.
418! Go big or go home?
Overkill for many people who don't grind on a daily basis to put food on the table.
can we repeat this but with the power stack!??!?!?!
I doubt it would do better its just such low amp hour it may do ok for a short time then the power would drop off quickly.
@@Jtwizzle that's what I wNt to see is that little peak performance, cause DeWalt is releasing a 5.0 power stack next year
@@joehertel8846 that 5ah will be a game changer. Can't wait for that one. I believe the current powerstack is close enough to a 5ah with 18650 cells. The 416 grinder claims a 50% boost when using the 6ah flex volt over the 5ah. In this video he used a 6ah with 21700 cells(which have very good output) and the 6ah flex still beat it.
@@Jtwizzle yeah the flex batteries are the top dogs right now in terms of power and output together , I also wanna see what that 5.0 ps does on the new high torque
@@joehertel8846 True maybe it can get closer to the 1000 ft lb mark with that big PS🥲
Numero uno...☝
DeWalt definitely makes some great grinders. Thanks for watching.
I bet if you had a diablo diamond tip disc it probably would’ve cut faster
У меня такая есть
Not much of a real world difference from what I could tell!?!?
There is quite a bit of difference, but it is hard to see on film. You can definitely feel a difference in the tool. Now, is it as much as they claim?! Who knows, but they are more powerful. Thanks for watching.
a pain just to hold the button? really? You actually hold that for a second, have a idea of your battery level and done.
But good video comparing the 2 granders
I know, it's a small complaint, but we just figured that DeWalt would have changed this by now. Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews I have all Dewalt power tools and I have the same exact peeve with the battery lol
Awesome 😃🍺👊🇨🇦
Thank you kindly
This should be a stomp.
XR has a 850 watt out put.
FlexVolt advantage has 1550 watt out put almost twice as much.
Advertised power out doesn't mean much. Thanks for commenting.
Yeah I think you're right about the power rating seems to be about right estimate between 850and 1550 watt
Esas pruebas son una mierda, las manipulo con sentidos muy diferentes y obviamente eso influye en el resultado de cada una 🤦♂️
