Score: 82/100
DEWALT DCG412B
Score: 72/100Rankings
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 DEWALT DCG412B is a lightweight, cordless 4-1/2 inch angle grinder designed for portability and ease of use. It features tool-free adjustments and a 2-finger trigger, making it convenient for cutting and grinding tasks. However, it lacks advanced safety features like kickback control and requires a separate battery purchase.
