Best Power Grinders of 2025

"I have both grinders, and they perform well. However, I really suggest investing in the brushless model for its extra power and reliability under heavy loads."

"I'm thrilled with this grinder! The price was fantastic, and the quality is truly unmatched!"

"I appreciate the comfortable handle design and the powerful performance of this grinder. It operates just as effectively as corded models!"

“I've used this angle grinder multiple times for cutting steel roof panels, and it has worked flawlessly. I wish I had purchased one sooner!”

“This tool is perfect for quick jobs. I recommend at least a 5 amp hour battery. However, if you need to grind for extended periods, I would suggest a corded version.”

“I really like this trigger switch design over the other switch types. Although the shield can be tricky to operate, the tool is fast and effective. Just be cautious with the flap sanding disks, as they produce a lot of dust.”

"I’ve always used a smaller 4-inch Makita, but I finally decided to upgrade to the Dewalt Angle Grinder Tool, 4-1/2-Inch, 11-Amp (DWE402K). This tool is a powerhouse! It has an impressive 11 amps at 11,000 rpm, and I must stress that this is not a toy; it's built for serious work. I love the tool-less wheel changes and the 360-degree adjustable guard. It's so easy to use, and I appreciate the hard plastic case it comes with for storage. Just remember to unplug it before adjusting anything!"

"Although I'm a fan of Milwaukee tools, I have to admit that Dewalt offers a great product at an even better price. This angle grinder has excellent power and feels comfortable in my hands. The trigger is responsive, and overall, I have no complaints about this tool."

"As someone new to power tools, I found this grinder straightforward to use. It worked great for my project, but I did have a mishap. I kept the power button pressed and lost grip, causing it to drop and damage my pants! Thankfully, there was no injury, just a good story to tell. Despite that, I'm proud of what I accomplished with this tool!"

"I've found this grinder to be incredibly powerful for the price! It's heavy-duty, cuts quickly, and is easy to manage with the provided handle. I was even surprised to get a grinding wheel included, which I’ve used extensively and it looks brand new. I highly recommend this tool!"

"After previously owning a Metabo grinder that lasted only six months, I purchased a Porter Cable grinder out of necessity. To my delight, it lasted three years! In my fab shop, these grinders are used daily and hold up remarkably well, even in tough conditions. I hope they continue making them!"

"I have two of these grinders. They perform well for the price, though I did notice a slight issue with the backing plate being a bit loose. A couple of rubber O-rings fixed that perfectly. While the shaft bearing is plastic, which concerns me a little, overall, it's a decent grinder for the cost."

“I got this to expand my 20V tool collection. I prefer the slide switch for longer grinding sessions, and this grinder is powerful, lightweight, and has great ergonomics. The brake feature is a lifesaver, preventing kickback. Overall, it’s a fantastic tool.”

“I recently bought this grinder to tackle the junk on my new farm. It’s been a huge help in cleaning up scrap metal without dealing with cords. Just keep extra batteries handy as it drains them quickly.”

“I’ve wanted a cordless grinder for a while. This one is light and powerful, perfect for quick cuts. It does go through batteries, though, so I recommend having several if you plan on doing a lot of work.”

"I've used these at work and found it to be a fantastic little tool. I bought one for home projects, but my wife has claimed it for herself to clean the grease off her stove grates. It's a clever use that I never considered! Now, I guess I need to buy another one for myself!"

"This right angle die grinder is excellent! It's powerful, precise, and makes intricate work easy. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a reliable tool."

"I never thought I would use this die grinder as much as I have. It's become my go-to tool for working on Jeep axles and removing rust in tight spots. The variety of discs available makes it incredibly versatile!"

"I find the battery power incredibly convenient, making this die grinder my go-to in the shop. I've moved away from my pneumatic tools and almost exclusively use this one now. While I wish it were a bit more compact, the power it delivers is a fair tradeoff. I highly recommend this tool for getting the job done."

"I purchased this die grinder as a birthday gift for my dad, and he absolutely adores it. It's lightweight yet powerful, and the battery lasts quite a while before needing a change. He's thrilled with it!"

"Transitioning from pneumatic tools to electric has been a game-changer for me. This Dewalt grinder stands out in my collection. It combines raw power with versatility, handling everything from tough steel to delicate aluminum effortlessly. With no air hoses to contend with, it significantly boosts my productivity. I can't believe I didn't switch sooner!"

"As a first-time user, I found this angle grinder to be surprisingly powerful and versatile. I originally planned to buy the DCG413, but I opted for the less expensive DCG416, which has performed excellently. I was uncertain about the Flex Advantage with my Flexvolt battery, but it made a noticeable difference in power and battery life. The 6 Ah Flexvolt battery lasts longer than my standard batteries, making it ideal for my DIY projects."

"I rely on a portable grinder for my work, and I must say, this tool significantly enhances the older grinder technology. The power is exceptional, almost equivalent to corded models. What impressed me the most is the safety shutoff feature; it stops the blade instantly if it gets bound up, preventing debris from flying and extending the life of the blades. I believe this tool will ultimately save me money due to reduced blade damage."

"I got this tool for my son for Christmas, and he is very particular about his tools. The fact that he chose this one says a lot about its quality and performance. I'm confident it's a great choice for anyone serious about their tools."

"I found this grinder on sale and couldn't resist the price. It works great and comes with everything needed to start grinding any material. I'm using it for home lab projects and it feels very solid."

"As a retired iron worker, I’ve used many grinders over the years. This one stands out for its sturdiness and functionality. I’m really pleased with it so far."

"I got this unit for just $27, which is a steal! It's a nice-looking tool that works great. I appreciate that it came with extra wheels, too!"

"I used this grinder to fix my flooring. It worked great and is definitely worth the money."

"This replaced my 30-year-old DeWalt. I love Dewalt, but it gets hotter than my old one. The blade securing method is a bit confusing, too."

"I've been using it for a few months now, and it's still running strong every day. Just like any Dewalt, it's a reliable tool."
