If you remember DeWalts started out as a grinder and then DeWalt quickly changed the name to a cut off tool, because it didn't have enough torque to get the grinding job done. If you want a cordless grinder thats not a toy, try the LXT from Makita. Hello

I had one and sold it on eBay. There just isn't any way to get enough torque to actually do any grinding. I can see it being useful for a few decorative tile cuts or maybe cutting a single tangled cable in the field, but the DeWalt at least was never a serious grinding tool.
