Score: 82/100
DeWalt DWE402
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 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.
