Score: 72/100
Craftsman CMCG400B
Score: 68/100Rankings
The DEWALT DCG412B is a lightweight, cordless 4-1/2 inch angle grinder designed for portability and ease of use. It features tool-free adjustments and a 2-finger trigger, making it convenient for cutting and grinding tasks. However, it lacks advanced safety features like kickback control and requires a separate battery purchase.
The Craftsman V20 Angle Grinder offers a durable build with a cast metal gear housing and a brushless-equivalent motor, making it a reliable choice for the V20 ecosystem. However, its lower RPM and tool-only configuration make it less ideal for heavy-duty continuous use. It is best suited for users already invested in the Craftsman V20 battery system who need a portable, durable grinder.
