Angle Grinder Tool, 4-1/2-Inch to 5-Inch, Trigger Switch (DWE43116)

By far my favorite versatile grinder. I put the 7” flat grinding disk on this and grind an entire log cabin no problem. I love how light weight it is and the power is fantastic. I’ve used the normal grinders for years and was burnt out daily for holding them until I found this beauty. I love it.

This is my 4th angle grinder, but my only one that can take a 6 inch attachment. All my other angle grinders are 4- 4 ½ inch grinders. This is a nice angle grinder and at 13 amps it has plenty of power. I use this angle grinder for cutting metal with a 6 inch diamond cutting wheel. It's a good price for a solid tool. It comes with a 4½in guard, a 5in guard and a 6in guard. It is light when compared to the next step up in grinders (7 inch). However its still heavier and longer than my other grinders which are Makita, Hercules and Bauer. It has some serious power and has a max RPM of 11k!

I'm currently in welding school and when you start they give you a 5" metabo as part of your tool package and it worked fine for about 7 or 8 months and then it just stopped working so I bought this Dewalt cause I'm a fan of their buffer/polishers and because it had the ability to run any size wheel up to 6 inches and have a properly fitting gaurd no matter the size (up to 6 inches). I'm very pleased with the power and controlability and I would definitely buy it again but hopefully it'll last me years to come. Even my instructor seemed Impressed with it. For the price I'm not sure you can beat it

I do will not buy battery powered grinder or anything that spins at 9,000 rpm. They simply blow through batteries. Love the 4-1/2-6” on this one and this thing is strong! Noticeable torque jump from the 4.5 11amp. With that range you really only need to buy this one. If this had variable speedI wish it went to 7” this would be the best grinder ever made period. For the simple fact that it is super easy to get 4.5” even 5” but the 6” is way harder to find but not 7” those blades are everywhere. Why I have no clue. The 6” cutting wheels are easy to get. But 6” masonry in a lowes or Depot forget it. They have 7” even on here the blades I love in 4/12 by dewalt I can only find in 4.5 or 7” 3rd party has them but I am seeing a-lot of fake too good to be true reviews which they claimed they cracked down on. When you see 500 reviews on a 3rd party unknown brand and and everyone is 5 stars and they say best blade ever. Run, its all fake there is always some negatives even with the best products. Amazon needs to crack down on that more it is getting way more noticeable imo

Excellent tool.

This DWE43166 angle grinder seems to work well. I've only had it one day and used it once, so I can't vouch for its durability. But if you are looking for a tool made in the USA -- AS THEY CLAIMED IN THE LISTING -- you are not getting that -- IT'S A LIE. This is made in India, with accessories made in China. My photo compares the Amazon listing with the reality of the box info. I would return this if I thought there was actually an American-made angle grinder still being sold. Beyond the severe initial disappointment, I do like the trigger switch design, the balance of the tool, and the power it seems to have. The three different size guards included in the box allow you to switch between the common disk sizes. I hope it holds up over time.

Bueno

When I used this at work for cutting metal, I appreciated how smoothly it handled the tasks. The trigger switch is responsive and easy to operate, which makes my job a bit easier. I did notice the tool feels a little bulky sometimes, making it less comfortable during extended use. Still, it's handy for the occasional project and gets the job done without issues. Would have liked a bit more weight balance to reduce fatigue.

Ya hace tiempo quería un esmeril de 6" para mayor profundidad en los cortes, creoq UE este esmeril fue una buena opción

These are sweet grinders. We call them rat tail grinders. I’ve had about three of these. I’m a welder and I’ve used a lot of different grinders. These are the tits. They stand quite a bit of abuse and are heavy duty. The 6” guard is awesome to have. You can get these grinders into some tight spaces other grinders can’t reach because of the narrow handle and body, which is why we call them rat tails. They are easy to use one handed as well. They are relatively light in the hands and you can run them for a long time without your hands getting numb from vibration. With daily use in a heavy duty welding shop.....and I mean a lot of use you should get a couple years out of one if not more if taken care of. And no I’m not grinding my welds cause they’re ugly. A grinder is probably the most important tool to a welder other than the welder itself. I will continue to buy these until they don’t make them anymore. And out of the 14 welders in my shop I’d say 12 use these. The other 2 don’t know any better yet.

Do you ever wonder why this one cost an extea $100? This is a true 4.5-6 " grinder, it even comes with a 6" guard. Unlike the cheaper priced units, it has the power to actually use a 6 inch disk. With a smaller body diameter to boot. its easy to grip and manipulate this grinder. It has no auto brake, which is excellent for feathering the throttle and detail work. People who like auto brakes on their grinders are either home users or novices when it comes to dressing. These things last for years of heavy use only requiring new brushes from time to time... $10 and about 5 minutes to change.

Vale la pena comprarlo

BEST grinder on the market in my opinion, it doesn't have the clutch brake witch is why i like it..... very though also, i cut with it for three years in my shop and it was heavy work ( welding shop ) it finally let go after three intensive years..... very recommended
