The DeWALT small angle grinder DWE402 looks very similar to earlier models, but a lot of thought and improvements went into this 4-1/2" angle grinder. By redesigning and placing the air intake and dust ejection system, this unit runs cooler and last longer. That coupled with a higher amp motor, larger brushes and more copper in the motor makes this a serious grinder.
Just bought one from Amazon using your link.
$79 ain't a bad price.
Love the new Dewalt grinders!! Armatures don't fall apart and switches don't break like the old ones. Also the dust ejection system works fine.
Great grinder. I like the DWE43116 which can take 4-1/2, 5 and 6 in discs. I like the rat tails better then the barrel grips for longer periods of grinding for weld preparation.
$79 at Lowe’s right now. Got Home Depot to match it. Picking up after work today for some tile work with a diamond blade!
the most perfect and powerful grinder on the market.
Agreed.
To bad their retarded assholes thought an Allen wrench over a spanner wrench was a excellent idea.
My wife ordered this DeWalt grinder (DWE402) and I am trying to make sure that I am mounting the DeWalt 1/4 A24R grinding wheel. I put the non-threaded flange on first and then thread the wheel on with the label down. I don’t have any spindle showing for the other flange. Thank you!
I like the Jeep hood in the background
Thank You for the efficiency in the explanation and visuals for this tool 🔧.
I've many grinders and find the 6" size the sweet spot for ability to run 6" thin kerf cutting wheels, but (to run cutting wheels ONLY so as not to overload the motors) I've swapped a 6" DeWalt guard onto their 4-1/2" cordless. (Guards are cheap and it's easy to remove the indexing nubs that don't match from the larger guard, I never run cutting disks without a guard!) I still accumulate used 4-1/2" grinders but a 6" can use their accessories, has more torque and takes more abuse. Larger grinders are too heavy and awkward for most work so my 9" mostly sits.
no one really mentions that these things are huge ,,, just bought one and it makes the older de wilt grinders look small , and they were about twice the size of the bosch gws range
also had to square up the ramp section on the guard adjuster to stop it from ratcheting.
but ,,, they do run smooth , the soft start is great , the powers fantastic , and they are quite quiet too.
those dewalt grinders last FOREVER. i have had one for 3 years and its STILL kickin. like damn.
milwaukee makes a similarly powered one for like $50 more but i love my dewalt, put as much pressure as you want and it still KICKS. bucked and punched me in the face/hood NUMEROUS times. which sucks but proves its powerful.
Thank you i own one of this actually 2 the old one developed a play on the gearbox the spindle that drives the wheel aparenthly has a bearing because i can spin it and can hear the bearing runing dry and tryed to take it apart and couldn't because Dewalt make it that way so it couldn't be disasambled if you try hard you ruin it and on the exploded view of the parts it not even show that bearing so the only way to fix it would be buying a new one sort of like $ 50.00 so yes i like it but it would be nice if we could replace that bearing.
I just bought one at my local Westlake, to sharpen my shovel and lawnmower blade. $99.99 Bucks.
Use electrical tape to wrap the allen wrench near the electrical plug end of the cord. Won't snag on you and makes you unplug if a disc is really stuck on there.
We wouldn’t have to do stupid shit like this if they just gave us a damn spanner wrench. I had to buy a wrench on Amazon and took a zip tie and keep it on the cord. Taping a Allen wrench isn’t going to stay on the cable king and will fall off and get lost. Dewalt sucks just for that reason.
I like the little old one better. Little angle grinders should be exactly that, little. If you want a big, powerful, angle grinder, then get a 7/9. Pretty much if you want to see what angle grinders can really be like, get a 7/9. The 4.5s have their place, but, well if you use a 7/9 you'll know what I mean. They're beasts!
The black handle that goes in on either side, leaves the other hole empty that you're not using and the Allen wrench fits snugly inside the empty cavity that is not being used for easy storage
You serious? Do you also keep your batteries in your ear holes?
I taped mine at the end of the cord so that way I always have access to it
Like this DW model, will be purchasing shortly.
That's a ton of power especially for a 4 1/2 grinder! Cant think of any other grinders that size with that much power
My 4.5 dewalt has 13amps
Thank you for doing this video. I just got a DWE420 and I couldn't figure out what the Allen wrench was for
For removing the flanged spanner nut
Hi ! New tools are released, old tools are cute too ! More choice to choose, more power 's to handle 's , brand 's are fixed 's to fiting to get works done ! One grinder's are good 's ! More will be great 's ! Happy's! With it !
Tools? Cute? Wtf
deciding between this and the bosch.
I would go Dewalt.
@@WorkshopAddict went with dewalt, saved $40 and its made in usa.
Feels and works great. thanks, love your channel btw, you guys are like the top tier of tool reviews on yt. keep doing what yall do.
@@evolvep2747 Thanks bud.
79.99 at Lowes today and of course Lowes did not honor my 10% discount, like everything else I buy. Why? Because if lowes drops the price any off of their "sell price" then they won't do the 10%. Its just a way for them to stop supporting their military discounts. Price on Amazon way the same, 79.99. Hope the tool lasts for 10 years, Ave approves.
Great product especially for the price
I thought the same thing about the Allen wrench, how not to loose it , would been nice to clip it onto the cord like some drills have for the chuk
Elec tape or zip ties on cord for allen
@@duaneafields please give me a damn explanation on how to keep an Allen wrench on a cable with zip ties….
@@Mikey-ym6ok tighten the crap out of them lol
weld a washer on the long end of the allen key ,,, cable tie it to the lead ,,, job done ,,, ive bosch grinders and you need an allen key to move the guard , but im sick of the bosch switches wearing out and the armatures giving in
de walt for me next time ,,, i have about six 115 grinders i use very often , no more bosch here
Idea... you could zip tie the Allen wrench to the cable (worked on mine)
good idea!
Exactly just like we all used to do on drill chuck keys!
I have this grinder so I'm wondering what part of the Allen wrench gets zip tied? There's no hole. You could tape a loop of string to it and zip tie that, I suppose. Maybe I'm over thinking it.
anonymous weld a washer to the end of the Allen key like another viewer mentioned
No welder? Heat it up cherry hot and bend a loop in it with pilers
Great video and education. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing.
i found one at ross for 50, i got lucky as hell
Just PUT A ELASTIC ON THE CORD TO STORE THE WRENCH TO OPEN AND CHANGE THE DISC 😊😊😊😊😊
Great video, i like the new dewalt grindres
Thank you. This grinder really surprised me. There are quite a few improvements to this grinder that is under the hood, so to say. This is one circumstance where the improvements aren't easy to see when picking up the tool.
For safety and warranty, what combination of (bottom spacer or locking nut) is used when putting on a "Double Row Diamond Cut Wheel"(DW4774) on a DWE402? Is locking nut required since wheel screws on already?
I just bought a 4011 and within 10 minutes the entire grinder was overheating to the point where I could not hold it with my bare hands and using a wire brush where the wires go outward from the center (not outward around the disk) made it vibrate after a few minutes so hard that you could not hold the handle at all unless you want your hand to go numb in about 15 seconds. Very disappointed. I bought it to remove paint from a patio and with the coarse wire brush I managed to remove about 10 feet of a 2x4 in about 10 minutes. at that rate, it'd take me another 4 hours of grinding but the thing would die in about 30 min if that heat is any indication. :( $60 for a toy that is dying in 90 degree heat after 10 minutes.
That sucks., we still abuse this grinder in our shop daily and it is flawless.
@@WorkshopAddict well, I assume your shop isn't 95 degrees like it was when I used mine. I mean, if I pressed down a little, the motor just slowed down a lot. I was not happy with it but then I had a wire brush on it that was like a hair brush, they came out from the middle instead of the edge of the disc so... I think I need a larger or better grinder and one of those brushes that spin at the edge. I'm trying to remove latex paint from cedar wood. I put ready strip on it and it just made it gummy so maybe that TOO played a part. I should have gone with a good grinder and good disc from the start. skip the stripper that half way worked and cost me another $25 AND 30 min to apply and tons of elbow to scrape it and I'm still not done. :( thanks for the vid!!!
TruthSurge get the dwe402 you won’t regret it
WorkshopAddict ever have to change brushes ?
11 amps? Wow. I bet that thing has some serious power. My electric 5 ton log splitter uses 15 amps and this uses 11 amps. Lol.
Which would you choose between the D28402k vs DWE402k differences except 1amp??
Would you recommend this dewalt for polishing alum wheels and fuel tanks on trucks or should I get a bigger one. What RPM is this one. I’m thinking I need a 3-5k rpm or a 6k rpm for tanks and wheels. Thanks for a great video.
Not this! This is 9500 rpm. Look at the DeWalt 7" polisher and they also make a smaller 3" model for rims.
Does the guard locks into place?
So,how can I ajust guard? I have Model #DWE402K and look like guard lock in one position only,same spot like at the end of the video.
Good review. Thanks.
my Bosch gws850 just packed in today so I purchased this, hope it lasts,
+I Balboa I think it will do well for you!
WorkshopAddict I have a makita 700watt grinder ,ten years old, still going strong, Bosch blue angle grinders just dont last, I have sent the Bosch one back to Bosch 3 times to claim under warranty, 3rd time they sent me a brand new one, and today it packed up, no more Bosch grinders for me, but Bosch drills are beast though
+I Balboa Bosch is coming out with a new set of grinders in the near future. Maybe they will address some longevity issues.
Good Vid! Thanks. What is your "go to" flapper sanding wheel for the 402? I'm primarily interested in which grit is most useful for cleaning metal and sanding flux core welds. ?????
40 and 80 grit Dewalt and Bosch flap discs are what we use
@@WorkshopAddict Much obliged! I am doing small projects and didn't want to waste $ in overkill. Cheers 🤠
hello buddy, can you tell me what is the size of that grinding wheel, because i bought this dewalt 402 and amazon did recommend me to buy the 4 1/2x1/4x5/8 grinding wheel and i did it but when i threaded it to the shaft there was not room for the threaded washer at the end, so i think i got the wrong grinding wheel, could you tell what size is the wheel you showed in this video.thank you so much.
Thank you .
On my old model the screw on disc keep getting stuck on there does that happen with this model do you need to remove the anti lockup backing flange too ?
Hi I live in UK and I would like to know if they have 240v because we have dwe4206 which is not as good or close to this one
Not sure if I want this one or a 20v one.
tgafire87 corded = more power
Batteries are stupid. Don’t get that huge waste of money.
@@Mikey-ym6ok Owned a corded one for a couple years now. The rest of my Dewalt tools are 20v and work great.
I have this and when I start grinding the guard moves any way to make it not do that
It probably will only move in one direction right? if so, take the guard off and remove any lubrication that might be on the area that it turns. check if the stop is working. then reassemble. I have not had this happen, but it does move easy enough that I could see it happening.
How many angle grinders is to much? I got 8 now 🤪
120 watt or 220watt
This one was 120.
Did you mean to say Volt instead of Watt?
Osb siding and a Jeep.. must be from the PNW!
the best dewalt 20v angle grinder...
Zip tie it to chord
Dewalt OK, but not as good as Bosch.
