Black & Decker BDEG400 Review
I like trying out new power tools before I can sell them as second-hand products. That is why I own a huge collection of them in my tools store.
I have a softer spot for grinders, though. My father has a small workshop that he has had for many years now, and that is where he taught me all the skills I have right now. That is how I have so much information on these tools.
I can tell a good angle grinder just from its name even before I see it. But in the case of Black & Decker BDEG400, I used it first before I reviewed it.
This is one hell of an angle grinder, offering almost everything a modern angle grinder is expected to have. I’ve used it for quite a while, and the way it performs makes me want to grind and cut through anything and everything I lay my hands on, though I can’t do that.
Metal Gear Case
A workshop is a work area with lots of rough component and activities that might affect the life of your tools. The Black & Decker BDEG400 grinder features a metal gear case that protects it from exterior damaging factors.
This metal gear case also makes it durable, so that it can serve you longer no matter the amount of work you accomplish with it every day. This grinder can live longer than most grinder of the same price range, thanks to its perfect structuring and the metal casing.
3 Position Side Handle
Of all the modern angle grinders, the Black & Decker BDEG400 is one of the most comfortable models. With its three position side handle, you can feel the added comfort and control provided.
You don’t even feel the fatigue that comes with extra hours of constant grinding and cutting using this angle grinder. The handle has a unique build and is one of a kind.
Spindle Lock
The Black & Decker BDEG400 has a spindle lock that allows for easy accessory changes. The lock adds to the ease of use quality of the grinder.
You can simply use the button to change any necessary accessory hence enabling you to continue using your grinder. It improves the ease of handling your grinder. Most grinders are difficult to repair due to lack of this feature.
Narrow Body
A good grinder must have a manageable shape, size, and weight. The Black & Decker BDEG400 has a narrow body that makes it easy to operate and use. This shape and size provide comfortable grip necessary for the best moment in your work with the machine.
Compared to the big names in the industry, its shape is one of the areas in which it has outmatched its competitors.
One-Touch Release Switch
The switch is strategically placed to aid the shutoff of the grinder. With the one-touch release switch, I can shut my grinder of easily, and the process is rapid. I find it very convenient, giving me the opportunity to enjoy my work even more.
It also makes my work a lot easier in general. There are some angle grinders that will take a lot of hassle to shutoff, but not Black & Decker BDEG400.
