Score: 72/100
Craftsman CMCG400B
Score: 68/100Rankings

The DEWALT DWE402 is a powerful corded angle grinder featuring a robust 11-amp motor and 11,000 RPM speed. Its main trade-off is the lack of modern safety features like kickback control and soft start. It is best suited for users who prioritize raw power and durability in a corded tool.

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.
