Score: 82/100
DEWALT DWE4887 1-1-inch
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Chicago Pneumatic CP872 is a high-performance straight pneumatic die grinder featuring a powerful 0.63 HP motor and low vibration levels. Its high air consumption and noise output are significant trade-offs that require robust infrastructure and safety gear. It is ideal for maintenance professionals and welders needing a lightweight, high-speed tool for general polishing and deburring.
The DeWalt DWE4887 is a corded die grinder with a 4.2 amp motor delivering 25,000 RPM, designed for professional welders and fabricators. Its key advantage is AC/DC compatibility for field use, though the 8-foot cord limits mobility. It is best suited for industrial users needing high-speed grinding in welding shops or fabrication environments.
