Five Star Reviews: | 74% Great little grinder. August 29, 2017 Nice little grinder. Enough power for my needs. I cut up a water tank to make a dozer blade and it worked great. Comes with 2 guards; one for grinding and one for cutting. Excellent price too. Just a little more than Harbor Freight stuff but way higher in quality. Porter Cable makes good tools. I have other tools by them and love them all and they won't bust the budget either. Good quality grinder August 21, 2017 Seems to be a good quality grinder and I bought it at a good price, the only problem for me is that the picture depicts the grinder with a finger operated paddle switch and mine came with a thumb operated switch on left site of grinder but I can live with it, even an old dog can learn a new trick. Great Price for an Excellent Tool December 31, 2016 Great price and a better tool than Harbor Freight had at almost the same price (grinder with a paddle switch). Comes with two types of guards - one for cutoff disks and the other for wire wheels and grinding/flap disks. 7 amps is very strong. Only complaint (and it is small) is the poor shipping packaging. The grinder was not damaged but the Porter Cable box was. Works well for cutting paver blocks August 2, 2016 I'm not sure how you can beat this for the price. I purchased this and a DeWalt DW4725 Diamond saw blade to cut pavers for a walk I was putting in. It worked great! Plenty of power and a solid feel. I got the angle grinder and the blade for under $50 total and I'm extremely happy. The 4-1/2 inch blade won't cut all the way through a paver but it goes far enough to make a clean break. Great little angle grinder - had no problems cutting through ... July 24, 2016 Great little angle grinder - had no problems cutting through 1/4" cold rolled mild steel. For anyone who's never used an AG before: make sure you wear flame retardant long sleeves, gloves, and a face mask - there will be hot sparks everywhere! Very happy with this grinder May 16, 2016 Very happy with this grinder, in particular because it has a cutting guard and can use cutting wheels. Surprisingly some 4.5" grinders aren't setup for cutting. Side handle is thin plastic, head does not rotate, OSHA approved flappy paddle switch is a bit weird to get used to, all of this is fine given the low price. | 83% Great for stripping rust September 30, 2017 Great for stripping rust, paint, and body filler from cars. Doesn't throw nearly as many threads as other wheels and maintains its shape. Tough wire April 28, 2017 I believe in name brand when it comes to wire wheels. I do not like the bits of wire that break off of cheap brand wheels. Dewalt wire wheels do hold up and last longer than others. Works great, removes material fast, hard to control so watch speed and wear goggles!! October 28, 2016 Worked fine with my Dewalt right angle grinder motor, removes a lot of material in a short time but the brush wires are very stiff and crap fliesall over so wear your best fully protective goggles with this baby. Save yourself a trip to ER to have something removed, if you don't wear thegoggles! Bought based on reviews and was not disappointed. Used on a hitachi Grindr to remove rust ... April 13, 2016 Bought based on reviews and was not disappointed. Used on a hitachi Grindr to remove rust from oil pipe. No shedding of wires noted. Probably did about 100' worth of pipe and it looks like it has a lot of life left in it. Will repurchase when I need a new one for sure. Powerhouse rust remover March 15, 2016 I bought this to use on my angle grinder and WOW, it demolishes rust and old paint on steel surfaces. I used it to restore a rusty trailer hitch and it made short work of 15 years worth of rust, grit, and flaking powdercoat. I will be using it on many other projects. Please note that the coarse steel bristles are much too aggressive for brass, plastic, fiberglass, aluminum, etc...Wear your SAFETY GLASSES when using this tool! Makes quick work of rust November 28, 2015 Scary motherf***ker. Produces more sparks than any other attachment. 5/5This will knock the life out of rust.Used to clean some rust off the underside of my car, though I did end up giving up and decided it was too much hassle, cars rust, it happens.Probably too much grinding action for polishing anything other than steel. I have actually tried using to clean the cement-gravel mixture ground on our patio. It took me a while to realize that the coarse dust coming flying off the grinder was actually separated dry cement powder and that this f*cker was grinding off the cement from the gravel! | 81% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Four Star Reviews: | 11% Product as described and a prompt shipping. Would rather ... September 10, 2017 Product as described and a prompt shipping. Would rather have an on/off switch instead of having to constantly hold the paddle switch on. Great price for this tool August 27, 2017 Tool itself has a good feel, decent weight, and decent overall size. Build quality was much better than I expected, and it really feels much more robust than the price point.Gear transfer head could be a bit smaller, but it's fine for probably 90% of what it'll be needed for, and likely just inconvenient for the rest. Forward cant to the handle in either of the side positions is strange, and initially I don't like it, but it's possible it'll grow on me. The wrench it comes with is pretty poor, but that's consistent with others I've used. Good April 26, 2017 This thing is a beast for being pretty cheap. I've used it to cut the floors out of my jeep cherokee and it's never skipped a beat. 4/5 stars because I really don't like the safety mechanism on the switch is hard to press down with gloves. Four Stars October 19, 2016 looks ok, haven't used it a lot. handle takes some getting used toupdate: the safety covers can be improved, changing them takes some time. the safety feature of the trigger is a bit difficult to use. no deal breakers, still a good grinder A great 4. 5" paddle-style grinder September 1, 2016 A great 4.5" paddle-style grinder. I've put this thing through hell and it doesn't care. | 12% Good muli- use clean-up for stone or welding April 9, 2017 Work well for cleaning for welds. Wears well. I used it for cleaning stone to rebuild wall. Also used to clean rust off to repaint wrought iron fence. Really good. March 8, 2017 Works great, I've used these before they last a long time and makes working easier. Made in China December 10, 2016 Made in ChinaGo through plenty of these at work removing paint, or rust from metal equipment. They last, wear eye protection the wires will penetrate pretty deep when they hit you. Best price I can find, the Millwaukee ones from the big box store are double the price. | 13% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 6% Like the tool but it is making a "rattling" noise ... February 27, 2017 Like the tool but it is making a "rattling" noise when I release the power. Is this normal? Sounds like it's ready to fall apart. Used it once and put it away. Please advise.Thanks for your advise.....Garygr_coll@cox.net Fiddly fixing nut August 11, 2016 Lots of power, but the fixing nut is tricky. I put on the including cutting wheel to try it out and quickly shattered the wheel. This really wedged on the restraining nut. Took me an hour to get it loose to replace the wheel. Fussy business, that. I still think I'll get good use out of this, though. used vigorously for 3 months, still hasn't broken. June 1, 2016 Update:Not long after I wrote this review, I noticed the spindle lock was slowly beginning to go. Watching the sun set in the background as I desperately try and get an angle grinder attachment off is extremely aggravating. A week or two ago I spent about 90 minutes trying to get my wirebrush off so I could put on a grinder attachment, I actually broke part of my table saw when I gave in for a moment of cathartic rage. This feeling is horrible. I believe that I will get this fixed through warranty but I will find out soon. This grinder was definitely worth the money I spent on it, but if I could go back and change my decisions I would buy a more reliable brand which would last much longer..Old Review:I bought this with the intention to use it relentlessly, break it, and return it. However it has lasted me months of vigorous use, I've gone through a dozen disks or so and it keeps on cutting, grinding. I have a lot of fun using this and I couldn't be happier with this tool. If the zombies come though, I will regret not having a cordless grinder. the cord has a tendency to ravel up like a telephone cord October 26, 2015 Reasonable performance. My biggest complaint is the spindle lock has to be depressed below the surface of the grinder. As the button is too small, I have to press it with my finger tip (rather than the "pad" of my finger) which is very awkward. It's even more difficult wearing gloves. Also, the cord has a tendency to ravel up like a telephone cord. That may not be unusual though. I also wish it had a power switch lock (but knew it didn't come with one). Seems to be good value for money August 25, 2015 Gear case gets hot as a rocket in 60 seconds. Works fine, but job only took 5 minutes to do. Plenty of power and has 2 guards and 2 wheels. If anyone has input on gear case heat, I'd appreciate a heads up. Then I can adjust review as necessaryJim | 3% ... down fairly quickly for the price and wasnt any better than a traditional wire wheel IMO October 16, 2017 Burned down fairly quickly for the price and wasnt any better than a traditional wire wheel IMO. Three Stars December 3, 2016 Wore out after only a bit of use cleaning up a mid size pick up truck frame. the ones bought at big orange work better. I thought a Dewalt would be superior August 28, 2015 Frankly, the ones bought at big orange work better. I thought a Dewalt would be superior. The bristles tend to get misshapen easily and they sort of flare out too easily. It's "ok" but I've used better. | 4% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Two Star Reviews: | 1% Basic expectations not met... September 5, 2016 Just got it. Appears to be a great tool. BUT, they didn't meet a simple and basic expectation... that what I was shipped should match what I selected online.I shop online a lot. When I buy tools, I compare various things between brands and models to help make my decision. How many batteries or blades does it come with? How many additional attachments? Cord length? Brand reputation?In this case, the product details says it comes with a case.... Something I considered when choosing this item. It did not, however, come with a case.An online merchant's most critical job is to ship you the correct product that you selected based on the details THEY provide. If you can't do this, you shouldn't be in business. I'm not talking about an accidental shipment of a totally different item. I'm talking about being too lazy to confirm their own product details before putting it up for sale and then hoping the customer doesn't notice. This is shoddy.This rating would be a 1 or 0 if it weren't for the fact that I expect I'll probably enjoy the tool. | 1% Wish it lasted longer February 23, 2017 I will give credit where credit is due, the wire wheel did a great job removing the rust and paint on my f250 restoration project, however I am seriously disappointed in the longevity of the wheel. After maybe half an hour of use the fly aways were flying uncomfortably often and about an hour into the project the wheel had no wire left. Now I must confess that my only reference point is a wheel that my father has probably had for 30 years but I was disappointed none the less. Does not really last too long September 17, 2016 Does not really last that long. Not sure if any of these do. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
One Star Reviews: | 8% Dead after two hours of use October 6, 2017 I am a homeowner who purchased this to grind out some poor motar joints to tuckpoint. I used this grinder a total of maybe two hours and it ceased up. I had to go buy a Harbor Frieght grinder for $20 to finish the job. Now I need to see if Porter Cable will repair or replace their grinder. It died today after 3 uses August 31, 2017 It has been 12 months and a couple of weeks since my purchase, and it died today. I have used it 3 times over the past year for a total of 20 minutes or so, and it is dead. It started smoking today and got too hot to touch after around the 30-40 second mark. This is probably the worst power tool that I have ever owned. I obviously could not recommend this to anyone. If it can't handle the limited use that I put it through, it can't handle anyone's needs. Unfortunately, I am out the money for this. I wish that I had done more research. Oh well Defective item. August 29, 2017 This product is defective, the flat discs cannot be installed properly. It will touch the metal guard. Miss leading Information August 29, 2017 They showed a paddle switch and also stated a paddle switch which is not the case how sad!!!!!!!!!! Defective and returned unit March 1, 2017 I must have had a defective model, but it worked for about a 1/2 hour then quit. Amazon return process was painless. | 1% *** THE TRUTH: POSSIBLY MADE FROM IRRADIATED METAL *** July 13, 2017 The item can't be shipped to California??? Is it made of irradiated material from China??? By the way, you can purchase this exact item at your local Lowe's home store, ...IN CALIFORNIA! ...WOW Amazon!!! As for the quality of this item, ...there is nothing special about it. Most people will purchase it for the Dewalt name, ...but the quality of it is no better than your Warrior 3" Twisted Wire Cap Brush (Warrior® - Item#47927) from your local Harbor Freight Tools store. The only difference, you'll pay for the tool buying the Warrior one from Harbor Freight, where you'll pay for the brand buying this nuclear irradiated one from China with Dewalt's name on it :p out of balance. April 18, 2015 Cups are not balanced. Make for a very difficult job.. Bought 5 and three had this problem. Save your money and buy the better quality, higher priced ones November 15, 2014 Save your money and buy the better quality, higher priced ones. Milwaukee brand comes to mind. You will be picking wire out of your legs and arms with these and they don't last very long. I use wire brushes allot and I have made the mistake twice buying these. All my other Dewalt stuff is great. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
