Works Great!
I like this tool. It will save my air compressor a lot of work. I have always used an air tool for cutting. That was a task. The compressor would run out of air and I would have to wait. Not this tool. I was cutting 1/4" steel plate. It did get a little warm, not hot. I had to make several cuts, a couple of them long. It does have a safety feature that I think other reviewers misunderstood. When the disc gets in a bind, the motor can stop. Once through the plate, I could cut in full feed mode. With all the cutting, I did go through 5 cutoff discs. Expected. The tool came with a steel guard under the vacuum guard. I removed the vacuum guard. The vacuum guard is plastic and not made for cutting metal. The motor has plenty of power. When it arrived, the battery that came with it wasn't fully charged and quickly ran out. I hooked up one of my 6-hour batteries and it loved that. So, you can use any 20v Dewalt battery. Before anyone asks, I don't know about the 60/20v flex batteries. I do not own one. When cutting metal, I suggest wearing all your safety gear. Sparks fly everywhere. It did come with a charger. Personally, I did not need one, I have others as I have many Dewalt 20v tools. Even with the 6-hour battery attached, I found it light enough and well-balanced for working. It did not wear me out. I don't know what else to say to show my liking for this tool. It is worth the money. ... show more

Compact Powerhouse That Never Disappoints!
I don't use it that often, but every time I pull it out for a project, I am blown away by its performance. The power it packs into such a small, compact form factor is incredible. It feels extremely solid, durable, and well-built, easily handling tough jobs despite its lightweight design. It's quickly become one of my favorite compact tools in my kit—highly recommended! ... show more

Quality and performance
I bought this angle grinder to do a small floor tile job. The diamond blade that came with did a great job of cut through porcelain tile slowly. You'll need to go through several passes for a deep cut line before snap the tile off clean. The dust cap attachment does wonder, but it is a bit hard to find the vaccum with exact hose size that matches. I ended up just use masking tape to create a temporary connection and it works great. Though, still wish there's an easier way to connect vaccum. Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase, there will be plenty of uses to come. ... show more

Powerhouse!!!
I'm sa dewalt tool owner. I have never been disappointed. It was a little expensive, but the power is amazing. I will lie to you. for a 3in blade this machine is boss!! The design is easy on your hand when using it. as dewalt is known for durability, and not heavy ,even with a power stack battery on it. i almost hooked the flex battery but i didn't need that much power. but like with all cutting tools , pay attention while working with it. ... show more

Fantastic tool
I am simply amazed. It ripped through 3/4 marble shockingly well. Had to trim tile that was already on the wall and did so well. The tool itself is fantastic. Obviously straight cuts depend on the person not the tool but I’m no pro and the cuts were perfect. Yes, perfect! It did everything I asked it to. Used it for other projects and as long as you use the correct blade it does exactly what it should. Unknown longevity but all my dewalts have lasted forever so I expect the same. ... show more

Small. Mighty.
Its wheel is small. Which is both awesome and not. I used this for clean cuts through drywall and cement board as I put a fireplace back together. With the right blade it does perfect straight lines and makes life so easy. You could use this on flooring and whatever else. Up to you, it can do it fast and easy. It cuts cleaner than a sawzaw or multi tool. It can fit under sinks for pipes and cut counter tops. If you needed one tool to get a lot of stuff done very well, this is it. ... show more

The electron wheel of chaos
Hot dern! This thing is great. A little on the pricey side but compared to other lesser brands (especially when you realize it doesn't come with a battery or charger, I'm looking at you Bosch) it's not even that expensive. The performance is unmatched (cough cough, Bosch). Only down side is size if you need to get into a tight spot but if you need a small tool you know where to find it (guess you won this one Bosch). ... show more
