DeWalt DWE402
Score: 72/100
Craftsman CMEG100
Score: 70/100Rankings
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 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.
