One feature that’s welcome in this tool lineup is the different battery capacities. DEWALT offers a range of batteries depending on your power needs.
Lighter jobs that can get away with the smaller 2.0 Ah units that keep total tool weight down. Heavier jobs that require more power will benefit from the larger 6.0 Ah battery units. The DCG413R2 angle grinder tool kit comes equipped with the larger 6.0 Ah battery to help power through the tougher jobs.
A number of safety features keep your extremities in their intended configuration. Swapping batteries while the trigger is depressed won’t start the wheel spinning. The trigger must be cycled on and off for the tool to function again.
A kickback brake senses binding or stalling if you try to take too aggressive of a bit out of your work material. It will stop the wheel from spinning and creating a dangerous kickback scenario.
An internal brake also stop the wheel in under two seconds when the trigger is released. The trigger itself incorporates a two step process to rev up the wheel and prevents accidental startups.
The blade gaurd is easily rotated and doesn’t require any tools to adjust. The wheel change mechanism is also fairy simple and doesn’t require any wrenches. Just press the lock on the top of the grinder and unscrew the wheel from the housing.
The DCG413R2 angle grinder kit includes a grinder, 6.0 Ah battery, battery charger, and contractor tool bag.
