Ingersoll Rand 308B
Score: 78/100
DEWALT DWE4887 1-1-inch
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Ingersoll Rand 308B is a lightweight, straight air die grinder designed for precision tasks, featuring a 0.33 HP motor that delivers 25,000 RPM. Its high noise level and significant air consumption are the main drawbacks. It is best suited for professional welders and fabricators needing precision in confined areas where right-angle tools cannot reach.
The DeWalt DWE4887 is a corded die grinder with a 4.2 amp motor delivering 25,000 RPM, designed for professional welders and fabricators. Its key advantage is AC/DC compatibility for field use, though the 8-foot cord limits mobility. It is best suited for industrial users needing high-speed grinding in welding shops or fabrication environments.
