As noted by other reviewers, the DeWalt DC410 18-volt cordless cut-off/grinder tool is not well-suited to production environments or other applications where extensive grinding or a large number of cuts are required. But for the average user who needs a handy angle grinder for small jobs, this unit is a viable alternative to the traditional corded tool, and is much more convenient to carry to wherever the work may be. With 18 volts of power on tap, this tool makes short work of grinding aluminum or mild steel, and with a readily available cutting wheel, it chews through padlock shackles, rebar, chain links and the like in just seconds. The DC410KA is a worthy addition to the arsenal of any serious DIY homeowner or tradesman.

This product was just what I needed, it works well and was delivered in a timely fasion.

this tool works great. came with very useful optional guards. had no problem cuting through 8 guage pipe, handles very well. and has the ability to rotate the head(silver part) to any of the 4 directions on the handle. i'm very happy!!

I love this thing. I can use it in the yard, at the race track, anywhere cordless. Battery life is reasonable and it works great with flapper disks.

I have a Dewalt 18 volt hammer drill that I love, so when my Makita angle grinder died, I bought a Dewalt replacement. I like the tool. It is easy to change blades and flexible in use because of the 18 volt battery pack. Power and torque is good for most cut off and grinding jobs, but the tool drags a bit during use with a wire brush for jobs like heavy paint stripping. The battery life is a factor with heavy use--more than with my Dewalt 18 volt drill. To be fair, the tool is not designed for this type of use. I would highly recommend this tool for a user who needs a fast and flexible cutoff tool or for a quick grinding job. For longer grinding or stripping jobs get a Dewalt corded angle grinder.
