Corded v Cordless Angle Grinders Dyno'd! Milwaukee vs Harbor Freight

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Let us know which *model number* cordless 4.5" angle grinders you want to see ranked here! For example we're getting a lot of requests for DeWALT Flexvolt Advantage, M18 & Makita, but which ones are on your short list? (6" would be cheating at this point)

[@sammccollum2985]

Milwaukee M18 2880 for sure and the 2888

[@dieselhead7961]

Makita 9557PB

[@taku1101]

Makita LXT Line. More specifically the lower cost ones: DGA504 or DGA511 The latter allows for speed control.

[@GMAN50022]

Makita gag03, 40v grinder

[@locky264]

Metabo is king of corded grinders

[@Shorty_Lickens]

In case some viewers dont understand the significance here: A long time ago Harbor Freight stores mostly sold junk but managed to stay in business by appealing to workers on a tight budget, and they were successful. Nowadays they are selling better quality tools that can appeal to professionals with all budgets. So its kind of nice to see proof their brand of power tools are actually decent.

I’m glad the part worked out….. thanks for the shout out I always enjoy these vids

[@jasonharrison25]

They can be quiet accurate if the emissivity setting is correct for the surface finish and material you are testing. They are not a set and forgot tool and you can't use them on multiple materials or finishes without adjusting the settings to match

You can’t go wrong with the warrior it works really well for what it is and can take a beating my guy has had one for years and it’s still kicking

[@mathewryan4881]

It would be super helpful to see you guys test different angle grinders from the same brand (e.g. the DCG405, DCG412, and DCG414) as well as similar comparisons for other brands. That would provide very useful information for someone looking to purchase a grinder who is already committed to a battery line, and provide some context on how much additional performance you get for the extra money, and if spending more is actually worth it or if the cheaper models will get the job done. Love your content, keep up the good work!

[@SomeGuysGarage]

I did 5 different Dewalt grinders head to head on my channel a while back, but nowhere near TTC levels of precision. Gotta give him props for the effort that goes into these tests he does.

[@kanehoward7050]

Yeah, like the DCG418 60v and DCG416 20v compared to the OGs.

[@ianloyd6384]

I agree with the different models from same brands. TTC will probably eventually get thru all of them as usual.

[@denoftools]

Not too surprised about Milwaukee's performance. I've had the chance to speak with a handful of engineers who design grinders and when they talk about the top competitors they are trying to beat I've never once heard them mention Milwaukee. Makita and Dewalt are the names I hear a lot. From the welders, I know I'd say it was Makita, Dewalt, Metabo, Bosch and Hitachi in that order. As far as cordless... probably Dewalt but I really want to see what the Flex can do... I mean they invented the grinder after all.

[@EFLO3D]

Flex invented the grinder??

[@denoftools]

@@EFLO3D Yep, well the handheld grinder. In fact, in a large part of Europe, they just call an angle grinder a flex in the same way we might call an adjustable wrench a crescent wrench.

[@michaelcrumlett187]

Great job! I have three Bauer corded angle grinders set up for different jobs and I’ve found them to be excellent tools for the money. I’ve also been using Bauer’s 20V cordless tools (although not the angle grinder - yet) in the municipal garage where I work for about two years now and I’m really happy with them. I’ve had zero failures and their performance has been really good, especially when considering what I paid for them.

[@Robert-qm7yi]

The Bauer cordless grinder is definitely a good pick, compares well to the Dewalt I used to have and it's going on about 2 years strong

[@RabidBadger_]

Nice to see West Weld's name pop up on another of my favorite channels. His work (fabrication and video) are top-notch.

[@wll1500]

I run that Hercules grinder with the 12ah extreme battery and love it! Did have to warranty it one time for the disc lock breaking, but that was painless and I had a new tool the same day. Plus, every time you warranty it you get a new handle, new spanner, and a free grinding disc

[@Slane583]

I had the same first introduction with Hercules tools when I first bought my mother her 12v Hercules drill. The first one worked for a few days with little to no use and just suddenly pooped out the last time she used it. No drama, no magic smoke, nothing. It just quit and wouldn't respond. But because we didn't have it very long it was still under warranty so I just brought it back to the store and exchanged it for a new one with no questions asked. The second one has been working perfectly fine with constant use and is still going strong a year or two later. I was disappointed when the first one pooped out but I understand that thousands of them are made in a day and you're bound to get a bad one eventually. Since I really wanted to try the Hercules tools I stuck with it and everything I've bought since then have all been great. :)

[@brianmoore1164]

Loved this test and happy to hear it is becoming a series. I like the impact wrench stuff, but I don't use those nearly as much as ya'll do. My angle grinder on the other hand gets lots of use.

[@anzov1n]

Very much appreciate the standardized testing of actual output on the dyno and comparing cordless to corded. This sheds light on some questions I've had for ages. Would love to see the craftsman brushless V20 grinder as well the dewalt XR, but really, any more testing would be great to see.

[@ktm42080]

Old school welder fabricator here. In the early nineties I bought a corded grinder from Mac, just a slightly modded Black and Decker, and it works it's heart out. The original Black and Decker grinders were unbeatable for price and output, the newer ones just feel cheap.

[@fltchr4449]

Great setup and testing. As someone that uses an angle grinder a lot (I even get paid to do it!) and don't see cordless being a full replacement soon I would like a chart of the corded grinders.

[@MrZimmaframe]

The best corded angle grinder I have ever used was a Hikoki (made in Japan) not the Chinese made brands. I once took it apart to compare with a broken other brand and the wire wraps were so much larger, better insulated and wrapped tighter in the motor. Did a classic tractor renovation and ran it constantly for over an hour to strip paint to bare metal and it's still working 5 years later. We bought the twin pack which comes with the 5 inch grinder and the 9 inch too.

[@israelramos7441]

Really looking forward to watch the flexvolt in this series 🎉

[@Parents_of_Twins]

Would love to see what a Makita corded would do and a DeWalt cordless. I've had good luck with Makita grinders. I know my Dad has a 9" that's over 30 years old and is still throwing sparks and it's been worked hard, it does weigh a lot though. Of course it's a 9" so that's to be expected. Love these new series that you are running. Really like knowing about tool vibration.

Sweet!! Love to see y'all testing new types of tools. I've noticed a similar vibration in my brushed Milwaukee angle grinder. With you observing a similar phenomenon on the corded grinder, (and milwaukee's reputation for runout in drill chucks) could you do a short piece comparing runout across brands and tools for these types of tests? It's definitely a quality metric that's easily measurable, significantly affects mfg cost, is under-reported to consumers, and directly relevant to the user experience.

Much appreciation for this new testing series, angle grinders are very subjective reviewed and compared.

Just a little note on the heat. Ive found if you take apart the head and pack more mollie into it, they will heat up on use but then cool down if you allow the fan to do its job free spinning. Any grease with molybdenum disulfide in it will work, just smear a bunch more into it so it doesnt just fling it to the case.

[@gavin5861]

I love these videos, you, Project Farms, and Linus Tech Tips labs are making a motion for more informed consumers and frankly being able to call companies out on their bs is a great breath of fresh air. I recommend adding a motion sensor of some sort to be attached to the handle for testing vibrations, which would be useful for anyone who uses them a lot. Also, a usage video for reference would be very helpful, the tool can go up to 500w is nice but can you hold it at that power output? What can you do with that type of wattage, how much is 200 equivalent to? Is that grinding rust away or is it cutting through something?

[@photojunky7342]

I own the 8A Bauer and have used it fairly rigorously for about a year now and haven’t had a single issue with it. Well worth the money. Also, as an electric motor mechanic and winder we use amps as a more accurate measurement of output power. Amps= watts x volts. In an induction motor at 120v, 1HP is 12A (give or take depending on efficiency). Being brushed motors may change that ratio but I’d assume it’s still a direct correlation. So ,in theory, more amps=more HP. In the induction motor world, manufacturers can lie about HP output but cannot lie about amps. I can pull 10 different 1HP motors and have 10 different amp draws. But they amps draws are supposed to be accurate.

Great stuff, the runtime test is very informative. Angle grinders really drain the batteries, like a string trimmer, because of their continuous use, unlike the intermittent operation of a drill or chainsaw.

We normally have 4 grinders chucked up with different wheels for a cage build day but if the flap disc one (only one used in car and out) could be cordless...game-changer.

Thank you for conducting tests on these angle grinders. I have been using the Bauer 8 amp angle grinder for several years and it has performed exceptionally well.

I install larger guards so all my cordless grinders can run 6" thin kerf cutting disks. Any decent 4-1/2" is much more useful with the faster edge speed and greater reach. I don't buy corded 4-1/2" new since 6" use all their accessories and have far more power. If you want a high speed angle die grinder cheep to spin flap abrasives and stones you can do as I did by drilling and tapping a (quality steel) Jacobs chuck to 5/8" -11. Super handy addition to any welders tool bucket turning any angle grinder into a die grinder. If you don't have a lathe you'll need someone who does but they can "chuck the chuck" and do the job in minutes.

@@tomh9391 Haha thanks :) but i am actually from the state north rhine westphalia. Have a good one and thanks a lot for your answer.

Very excited to see if you will be testing the new Bauer 8 AH battery since it should be hitting the shelf at your local HF any day now. Thanks for the awesome video!

Loving the ‘diversification’ of tools.

[@canucha1985]

I have the craftsman V20 brushless grinder as well as the Hart 20v brushless grinder and I'd love to see how they stack up in comparison to the ones you tested on this video. Thanks for another fun and educational video!

Vibration is a really big deal. I was using an old corded DeWalt that I hadn’t used in years. I was using it to shape metal for a knife blade. It felt like a lot of vibration but I figure I was only shaping one blank, it couldn’t be that bad. For hours afterwards, my hands were tingling and felt oddly swollen and just not right. Thankfully, it seems like I didn’t suffer any permanent damage but it was very scary. Don’t use high vibration tools even if you think it’s gonna be for a little while as an amateur. The damage can be cumulative.

dewalt 60V grinder has been my go to. 6" discs are helpful for what I do.

That corded bauer is impressive during testing

Thanks so much for making this video! This is exactly what I was wondering about and search for! I would be really curious to see the Dewalt DWE402 "11 amp" 4.5 in angle grinder. I'm curious about the idea of a cordless angle grinder but I'm really wondering how much I could really do with one and which one to get. I would love to see the DCG413. This is one of the best channels on KZbin.

Great video! Glad to see you using corrected values as this was something that drove me nuts, not that what I think matters to you.

[@TorqueTestChannel]

The other motors we use dont come with rpm to efficiency % charts

[@D2O2]

@@TorqueTestChannel I understand that, just happy that efficiency is not being considered negligible as I got that impression from the first video that introduced the dyno.

[@mully006]

I would love for you to get a automatically controlled load. You could do like a dyno run of the tools where to increase the load from 200W at 5W/s or something until they stall. This would be like engine dyno testing and allow for a cool animated graph

I used a brushless cordless Angle Grinder for a garage door project. In order to get near continuous work, it took 5 batteries and fast chargers to cycle through. With the only work stoppage was to switch out batteries. After, I wondered if a corded model would have been better and less time.

[@FyrFytr998]

Also forgot to mention that it was five 4ah batteries.

You're nuts.
