      The simple fact he has the grinder upside down so that it will kick back towards him shows that he doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

    I have the previous version of this XR grinder and I use it to cut tile and cement board. It works very good, the smoothest cutting grinder I ever had, makes a lot nicer smother cuts than the corded version. Cuts as smooth and nice dry as the wet saw and it doesn't draw a lot of battery for tile cutting. I typically use the 3ah or 5ah and get the job done for the day. One of my favorite tools.

    I used my old 18v one to cut through a couple of closed shackle abus padlocks, legitimately.
    The locks were securing access to a couple of hydraulic motors on a bridge in Whitby, England (Famous for Dracula). I went onto the job with a couple of 1mm stainless slitting discs and a spare battery in either nail pouch of my work vest. The locks took about 10 seconds each and both done on a single battery.
    Makes you really think about what you're trying to protect when using padlocks.

    As a tile setter can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten to a new construction site with no power and didn’t require a wet saw to finish job (sigma score and snap and Milwaukee fuel to cut around outlets.). Been to a lot of old houses where outlets are hard to find or trip when corded grinder or wet saw turns on. Plenty of reasons to have this if you have a use for it.

    I can answer one of the first questions you asked. (I haven't watched the whole video yet, so maybe it was a rhetorical question.)
    'Where will you be where you can't plug in your grinder.'
    The answer is: In the middle of a field that has a tower that ripped the center drive off of the center pivot and has to be welded. The 100' leads barely reach, and we can't drive in further because of wet ground. I could use a dc grinder, but for the use case I need the cordless grinder so little I saved significant time not having to drag out an extension cord or a generator.

    The company i work for is contracted with multiple police agencys with that being said we get tons of Traffic collisions.
    When dealing with car crashes we could have Guard railing, fences ,gates etc in the way that we have to cut just to recover the vehicles,this tool works too perfectly in those situations (when time matters) just the other night we had a light pole blocking lanes
    I was able to move it out the road way with the tow truck but the part where the light hangs out was still blocking part of the street I was able to pull this tool out with a cutter wheel and cut it then bend it out the way
    Those are just some things this cutter is great for, time is everything when it comes to opening roads back up and this beats
    Pulling out a generator and running cords
    Plus finding where to store all that on a truck since we don't need it all the time

    The cordless grinders are good for quick jobs. I have a ryobi brushed one. It’s ok for light/quick work. I used it a couple of times to sand down screws that were sticking out. It worked good. Nice to not have to deal with the hassle of a cord.
    Also for grinder safety I was always taught the wheel goes up. This way if it turns on the wheel is less likely to touch something and send the grinder flying. Cause putting it face down like that could have the disc rest on something and damage the disc.

I'm also working with aluminium all the time, so no problem with the power
    P.S.: i have the dcg406 - looks exactly the same. Never used the disarm key- the locking mechanism works perfectly - turn the lock and then turn the whole wheel little bit to be sure it's locked. To unlock first turn wheel, then the lock knob. No need to use the dismantling key

    Im left without an angle grinder after my black and decker corded angle grinder gave up the ghost after years of faithful service. I was going to buy another corded grinder but i think im going for the dewalt cordless grinder as i already have the charger and batteries that came with my DCF899 impact gun

    This tool is extremely useful and I do need it.. why? I work on scaffolding sometimes 4 story's in the air often on buildings without any power.. I need to cut material such as steel starter strip and vinyl shakes, which this tool equipped with a segmented Dimond blade does extremely well.

    when i worked at my job at Griffen i got one so i didn't have to drag 200 foot of cord around for a quick minute to five-minute job. cut a bolt, or cut a clamp on a hose. or other small jobs. but in such a nasty place it stopped working need to open it apart and see if it was just a fuse or not mine was a Dewalt DC410, hated it when it stopped but luckily I had an impact that used the same battery, so I got to use the battery for it and all the extra parts to my corded Dewalt grinder i got used at a pawn shop for 25 bucks

    You had me spooked at the beginning of your video. For I'm a plumber and have been using an early model DeWalt cordless grinder for around 2 yrs now. For cutting 2,3,4 inch cast iron now and then. And I am able to cut two 4 inch cast iron pipe before the battery is drained . Also must leave battery to cool before charging. ( It's hot)

    I use the cordless grinder with a diamond masonry blade. And yes it does use batteries like they are 1991 12 volt Black and Decker batteries. As a bricklayer doing alot of tuckpointing, chimney and just masonry repairs. Cords and generators are not always efficient for us. So we do use the cordless grinder quite often. The Hilti brand grinder has the better battery life, (that I use at my union job) but for side work I use my dewalt DCG413 and its not the best for what I need it for but it gets the job done.

      Gabriel Buss my brother does occasional HVAC ducting in an occupied building. Running cords out of doorways to cut metal outside, with employees walking over the cord, is not the safest. Battery operated is what he uses no matter which site he is at.

    Been trying to get our company to buy one of these since the back end of last year, but it seems like the form we sent to get the OK was sent but no reply came back, anyhow things are a little screwed up as of current with Covid 19 and it's disruptions.
    But this is like all cordless tools ideal for working in a area , were kids are also present , were long cables present a risk or can or could be damaged .
    I have such a job for this tool for a large but now old Kindergarten recreation area , were I need to replace or sand old round wooden areas .so a tool like this for both cutting old rusted bolts or for sanding away damaged wooden surfaces would be far better that my current setup using a 25+ meters of heavy outdoor extension cables .
    It's an amazing fact to think we have such high load tools now without cables and with a useful operating time between charges.
    Thanks again for the informative video.

    i don't own very many tools, but from the information that i have gathered, batteries are great until they get beat around a bit. i had a battery powered die grinder that got dropped once and stopped working, then i have a corded one that has survived 2 years of being dropped, submerged, buried, and overheated. still works perfectly! cords are the way to go.

    Hi Vince,
    I have the DeWalt 20v grinder but not the new power detect.
    For my personal use, i do like the fact i don't need a power cord. It has great run time with the new 8.0ah or 6.0ah battery. I'm not a machine shop so i don't use it as much but nice to have this tool when you really need it.
    I have to say i also like the Makita 18v disk grinder. For me It has a better handle grip then the dewalt and milwaukee. Plus it has the push (on / off) button which i like more then the paddle style. Only con, It doesn't have the disk break.
    Glad to see the tool made you change your mind, LOL....
    Thanks for the video

    @overknight5226 2 года назад

    I’m a welder/millwright having a battery powered grinder is a godsend when you are 40+ feet up in the air straddling I beams. It used to be such a pain in the ass to run a cord to the lift and have 60+ feet of cord being dragged behind you when you work. The safety factor is a big part of that too. No cord for anyone to run into or get caught on. Iv had one to many occurrences of a grinder being ripped out of my hands after someone runs it over with a lift. All and all this is a great tool for those who really need it. If you are a shop worker and have access to outlets then stick with the corded. It will save you time and money. If you have no power source then you can’t go wrong with it.
