DeWalt Angle Grinder, 4-1/2 in dia, 11 A, 11,000 RPM, Paddle Switch with Lock-On

Engineered for heavy daily use, the DeWalt DWE402 small-angle grinder delivers a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio thanks to its next-generation 11 A motor spinning 11 000 RPM. A low-profile gear case slips into tight weld joints, while the paddle switch with lock-off gives you instant shut-down the moment you release your grip—no more hunting for a trigger.

Key durability upgrades include DeWalt’s Dust Ejection System™, which vents abrasive debris away from the armature, plus oversized brushes that last twice as long as the previous model. The One-Touch™ guard rotates a full 360° with a bump of your hand, and the Quick-Change™ wheel release lets you swap wheels tool-free. A 5/8-11 spindle accepts most 4-1/2″ grinding, cutting, and flap wheels, and the two-position side handle screws in left or right for better control. At just 4.6 lb, this grinder feels nimble overhead yet soaks up plenty of load without bogging down—ideal for fabrication shops, steel erection crews, and anyone who demands corded reliability.
