Milwaukee 2880-20 4.5-inch
Score: 82/100Rankings

The Milwaukee 2880-20 is a versatile cordless angle grinder featuring a brushless motor and RAPIDSTOP brake technology for enhanced safety and performance. Its key advantage is the mobility provided by the M18 battery system, making it ideal for job sites without power outlets. However, the lack of included batteries and the smaller disc size are notable trade-offs for heavy-duty users.

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.
