Review on Cordless angle grinder Makita DGA452Z (177270), 115 mm, without battery by Janis Ziemelis ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

Drains the battery pretty fast. Cutting anything thicker than 0.55 mm galvanized is an occupation for a connoisseur. Very sensitive to dust. Compared to DGA 504 - a nail file. The basis for the approval is 6 years of operation for 2 DGA 452s, and 3 years for 4 DGA 504s. If you are not embarrassed by the need to change the melted brush assembly once a year (issue price ~ 400 per set), you can play around. For normal operation, it is better to stay on brushless models.

Pros
  • Illusion of energy independence. Cheap repair.
Cons
  • Hypersensitivity to the slightest overload.
