Score: 72/100
Craftsman CMEG100
Score: 70/100Rankings
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 CMEG100 is a lightweight, corded angle grinder ideal for light-duty tasks like polishing and thin metal cutting. Its high RPM and low weight are advantages, but the lack of overload protection and lower power output make it less suitable for heavy industrial use.
