Dewalt, a Stanley Black & Decker brand and leader in total jobsite solutions, introduces the Atomic 20V MAX* 4 in. Angle Grinder (DCG400), the first from the brand that provides high-power users the benefits of a cordless, compact tool without sacrificing performance.
Additional products joining the Atomic 20V MAX* lineup include the 4.5 in. Angle Grinder (DCG402), Die Grinder (DCG420) and Right Angle Die Grinder (DCG422). The suite of grinders is designed for applications in confined workspaces and delivers more power than select HP rated pneumatic grinders without the need for hoses, or hassles of complex pneumatic setup.
"The fabrication trades – particularly fitters and welders – perform some of the most demanding applications in the field, making cordless products that meet their performance needs highly advantageous," said Phil Bolton, Director, Product Management, Dewalt. "Dewalt is dedicated to meeting the needs of these trades through innovation and continuing to drive the adoption of cordless tools for safety, maneuverability, and productivity."
