Score: 85/100
Craftsman CMEG100
Score: 70/100Rankings
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 CMEG100 is a lightweight, corded angle grinder ideal for light-duty tasks like polishing and thin metal cutting. Its high RPM and low weight are advantages, but the lack of overload protection and lower power output make it less suitable for heavy industrial use.
