Your cart is empty.The DWE4012 4-1/2-inch (115 mm) Paddle Switch Small Angle Grinder Tool has a powerful 7-amp motor for fast material removal. One-Touch Guard of the 4 1/2 grinder eliminates the need for a tool to adjust the guard location.

I bought this to replace a 25 year old DeWalt angle grinder of similar size. The new one has a better (stronger) spindle lock to hold it when tightening the arbor nut as the old one failed long ago. The old one also has a paddle switch with a safety lock/latch that is sticky and difficult to move so the switch can be turned on and this new one is no better. On the old one, I finally removed it since it was such a pain and I will likely end up doing the same with this new one even though it's not safe to do so. FYI, I also have two pro-model angle grinders made by a well known Japanese manufacturer and both of these have safety locks that work very well. Not very difficult to do so can't figure out why DeWalt can't get it right. Other than the safety latch, the grinder works well and is light and reasonable powerful. I deducted one star for the PITA safety lock/latch.

I LOVE this angle grinder! The paddle switch makes so much difference as I use this mostly for wood carving.

Typical Dewalt quality. It's light, powerful, not too noisy. The hefty Allen key crank for the lock nut is a lot better than the two-prong wrench that others use.

OK the grinder itself looks good. However, one thing that concerns me most is the type 1 guard. The grinder comes with a type 27 guard for center-recessed discs. According to the manual you need to get a type 1 guard for the flat disc (diamond discs and a lot of cutting discs). I eventually find a seller who sells the guard for about $45. Are you kidding me? I bought this whole grinder for less than $100 and know I have to pay $45 for just a guard?? This is insane.

Wow, I can't believe how something so simple can become such a problem. It turns out the ALLEN WRENCH FITS IN 2 OF THE 4 HOLES IN THE SPANNER NUT, that's it. Why didn't anyone else mention this? Especially Dewalt, why didn't they mention it in their manual?Sure, there was a couple of hints in the reviews and questions, but they were all too vague. I finally took a really close look at the flange nut and discovered it.Now that I've said that, it really doesn't matter much to me anyway. I always hand-tighten grinding wheels and brushes since the right-hand rotation tightens them anyway. Removal is usually done by holding the spindle lock and unscrewing them, with a glove for sharp edges or wire wheels. On occasion they are too tight for this, so that's when I use a wrench.As far as this grinder, it's great! Powerful, small, and has a paddle switch. The switch is important to me because those on/off sliders are too difficult to manipulate while wearing gloves, and they're actually dangerous. I would hate to get a wire wheel tangled up in my clothes and fight frantically to shut it off.The safety lock works okay so far, and serves a purpose. My Black and Decker Firestorm grinder has a large paddle switch with no safety, and it sometimes takes off just from setting it down. The switch is too easy to bump at the worse times.*Disclaimer* I paid retail, and don't sell my opinions for trinkets and freebies.
