Where it sits among 230mm angle grinders

Scaled against the 26 angle grinders with a 230mm disc we list, so other sizes aren't in the mix. Not a score: bigger isn't always better for your job.

The verdictOur take

The DGA901 is the AWS-ready update of the DGA900: a 230mm grinder on two 18V batteries with a dead-man trigger, brake, soft start and AFT. Choose it over the DGA900 if you cut masonry with a Makita AWS extractor.

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. It takes two batteries, so each figure includes two packs. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
