Best corded 4-1/2 inch angle grinders
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 14, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Makita 9557PB. The 4-1/2" Makita is the one to buy if you want a grinder that lasts: a proven small-body design, a 5/8"-11 spindle that takes standard wheels, and it's the lightest-feeling of the serious tools here. Best all-round for metalwork, weld cleanup and cutting.
Who the others suit:
- Milwaukee 6142-30 — the most power here (11 amp) with a lock-on paddle switch; pick it for heavy, long grinding sessions.
- DeWalt DWE4214 — also 11 amp, 11,000 rpm; a good choice if you already run DeWalt gear.
- Metabo HPT G12SR4 — the value pick for occasional jobs; 6.2 amp is fine for light cutting.
- Skil 9295-01 — cheap, well-rated, fine for a homeowner's odd jobs.
- Metabo W 1100-125 — takes 5" discs too, for a bit more reach.
Skip the no-name 6–8 amp grinders if you'll use it hard.
