Craftsman CMCG400B
Score: 68/100Rankings
The Makita XAG04Z is a versatile cordless angle grinder featuring a brushless motor and advanced safety technologies like Bind-Up Control. Its key strength lies in its portability and intelligent motor management, which extends battery life. The lower RPM and need to purchase batteries separately are notable considerations for buyers.
The Craftsman V20 Angle Grinder offers a durable build with a cast metal gear housing and a brushless-equivalent motor, making it a reliable choice for the V20 ecosystem. However, its lower RPM and tool-only configuration make it less ideal for heavy-duty continuous use. It is best suited for users already invested in the Craftsman V20 battery system who need a portable, durable grinder.
