Score: 82/100
Black+Decker BDEG400
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Makita 9557PBX1 is a lightweight, high-performance angle grinder that comes fully equipped with a diamond wheel and carrying case. Its primary advantage is its low weight of 1.6kg, making it ideal for overhead or extended use. The lack of soft start and variable speed are minor trade-offs for its robust build and included accessories.
The Black+Decker BDEG400 is an entry-level corded angle grinder featuring a metal housing and included grinding wheel. It lacks advanced features like overload protection or a brushless motor, which limits its performance for heavy-duty applications. It is best suited for occasional, light-duty home use.
