I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read kzfaq.infoUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_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.

Almost all of my power & battery tools spanning some 35 years are Makita. Back when I first purchased Makita corded tools, they were rightly rated industrial tools, whereas given the pricing wars these days, I’d only rate them as trade tools if that makes sense. Because I’m so invested in Makita 18v tools & batteries, I don’t really consider anything else. However I had the chance to use an older Dewalt 18v brushed paddle grinder running at 7000rpm. I wasn’t expecting much tbh, especially as I already own a Makita 18v 125mm grinder, but jeeze, I was astonished the power of that thing. I deliberately put weight on the grinder while cutting angle iron, just to see how much it would take to stall it. I have to say, it took a fair bit of force to stall it. It made my Makita grinder look pants. My old brushed Makita grinder has half the power and worse still, if you push the grinder, a red light flashes and shuts the grinder off. I’ve not tried Makita’s latest brushless grinder, but I’m confident it wouldn’t compare with Dewalt’s DCG 405N. I’m so impressed with the Dewalt 18v grinder that I’m seriously considering buying one. I never thought I’d buy anything other than Makita. I’m really happy with my other Makita tools, with the exception of their poxey underpowered grinder. Bit the bullet and went over the dark side and bought the latest Dewalt grinder, which runs at 9000 rpm’s. Totally impressed. Unfortunately I’d not seen your Makita- Dewalt comparison of their latest machines. I don’t want to watch it either because if they’re just about equal, then I’d have bought the Makita, having so many 18v batteries. Still, either way, I’m so impressed with my Dewalt, I don’t regret buying it, plus I managed to get a couple of almost new 4 ah batteries for just a few favours as my pal has gone Bosch, so a small (ish) investment.

You could say I’m a Dewalt fanboy, I have 3 tools now and love them all.

What an awesome and detailed review, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I just ordered the 20 V version, # DCG405B and I think I'll rather happy with its capabilities after watching this review.

I agree with the additional spot for the handle. If you are cutting something vertically, EG a cutting off a pole at ground level or something then the normal position is fine. But say cutting horizontal you really need that one on the back inline with the center of the disk And for me, switch all the way. Im often having to cut stuff off at odd angles and in less than optimal work conditions so having to hold the paddle for me would be a pain. My main grinder is still the original Makita DGA504 (i think) anyway

I purchased the 406 paddle, reason being you can turn the grinder of with both hands holding. Recently cutting in a confined area after removing the grinder and letting go to turn it off the the whole thing moved enough to catch the outer coating of an electric cable! Momentary eye deviation but enough to scare me just a bit

Would like to have seen more on the paddle as I’ve never seen it before but otherwise thanks great vid 😊

Nice to see you appreciate Dewalt tools finally

Good review thankyou gents

been looking into getting a Cordless Grinder for Cutting tile as that is my main use for it, I have an older Dewalt one that switch is broken so i have to keep the switch pushed on and its too costly to fix so Cordles is getting serious consideration

I own this grinder one of the best ive used.

Can you use flat discs on these or do you need depressed center?

Scored one of these in a kit with a 5ah batt and charger for $199 aud

Some sites in NZ wont allow use of the switch tool for safety reasons. Paddle only.

I recently purchased a DCG413 with a paddle . Do you know what other differences there are ? J K

Just got the dcg405n...two 5 amp bats..charger..stacking box...bit dissapointed it didnt come with any discs at all !!....good quality though !

also do flathead version DCG405FN

Love the review guys, but didn't really feel like a head to head comparison. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, but I've not really come away knowing the key differences, maybe I missed something, but other then that, cracking video.

What type of guard did you used in the cordless?

I just scored a dcd996 drill, dcf887 impact driver, the 406 grinder, a 6AH fvolt bat, and charger for 549 NZD(like 450 aud)

Feel opposed to having the paddle trigger on a grinder. Works beautifully on the multi tool but grinders are really dangerous and having a trigger like that I feel would result in accidental engagement. Let me know if my concerns are valid.

yeaaaah, yep.

Does it reverse?

Hi guys, need a fast response on this if possible, Can this run with a DCB181? I don't know how the battery compatiability works on the xr series...

hi guys, just wanna ask about the runtime per 1 single charge of battery, eg 5Ah using with our dewwalt brushless ??? so how long does it takes till the battery run out ????

im a little surprised you didnt mention the 54v grinder, do you prefer the 18v one over the 54v? thanks,

Where are they made?

Hi mate, new to this channel, was wondering if you could say what your thoughts would be to the best battery operated angle grinder on the market today is?

What is the power compared to Bosch and Makita 18v grinders?

Is this an up dated brushless then?

I'm about to start buying good tools and I want to stick to the same brand!I am pushing towards makita but would you if going to spend a few grand on tools go down that road?Thanks great channel

Do these have overheating issues like their impact drivers? Asking anyone in the comments if they experience with these

Would you recommend the 18V or the 54V?

Hey mate what is the power output of the 405 incomparable to a corded grinder

Hi Guys Just watch your video on the DeWalt DCG405 20v brushless grinder. I'm across the pond but we don't have the grinder with the switch on the side. I just don't understand that one. I like that style then the paddle. I just wanted to know if there is any difference in the batteries set up or charger. I would like to get the one with the switch but can't find one here. Maybe i just have to buy one from you..Lol

how does it compare to the Cheaper unit DCG412 Brushed

Would 3ah battery be enough to power one of these??

Milwaukee fsagv125 or this dewalt?? Thanks

Try getting one in the UK at the moment.....impossible!

what about this model with a 24 v battery? Cant tell if it is genuine Dewalt or chinesium. the kit came with 2 24 v batteries and a case ? was i scammed? should i throw it away ? , can someone fill me in?? thanks

The switch must be put in the midle, not in the left side. Is ergonomically stupid, because for cutting the sparks and dust go to the worker, like in clip images. If somebody want to change the guard, the switch will be on the ground side, almost imposible to use.

could be batter and clear on point may make the bullet point

Do i have to pit only 125 mm??? Can i use 115 mm in it?

Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie..

I am confused with models as u are not mentioning it in video and god knows on which model you are talking on

Why is it 18v? Here is the U.S. it's 20v

Flexvolt do give more power, in every tool, another review channel did lots of tests, every tool performed better and better froma 2.0ah 4.0ah 5.0ah and flexvolt did the best, higher blade speeds, and more torque

I would not waste my money on over priced tools when the bauer which I've had for everything I'm not talking about the first gen but the second gen grinder is fantastic my boss has a ridged and I out last and cut faster then his and I never had a big down or cut off unless the battery was running low and I put some good pressure on it

πες του Αλεκου που ειναι στα αριστερα .. αν θες να μιλαμε για ασφαλεια δεν κανουμε ΠΟΤΕ αλλαγη δισκου σε γωνιακο τροχο με την μπαταρια φορεμενη....

Take the battrey off please !

Not first

Яп-яп, них...я не понятно.

Posted during a 49’ers game. Sorry but can’t watch now!

Very good tool but this well shot video is sooo unprofessional. Why? Because lack of gloves, proper working clothes etc? Safety first!
