The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The DEWALT DCG413FB operates on DEWALT's 20V MAX battery platform at 9000 RPM with 800 watts of listed motor output. Compared to the DCG413B (which lists 3450 RPM and 20 watts), the DCG413FB's published specs show a meaningfully higher no-load speed and a more robust motor output figure. At 4.61 pounds and 14.72 inches long by 6.3 by 5 inches, the dimensions are consistent with a full-size cordless grinder. The 4.7-star rating across 365 reviews reflects solid owner satisfaction.
At $196.00, the DCG413FB is priced $46.39 above the DCG413B and carries a tool-only designation requiring a compatible 20V MAX battery and charger. The 50 units bought last month is lower than the DCG413B's 2,000, suggesting it serves buyers who specifically prioritize the enhanced braking feature and published motor output over the standard platform choice. The FB designation indicates the inclusion of a brake for faster disc stopping.
The 800-watt motor at 9000 RPM and cordless design make the DCG413FB a capable choice for fabrication, weld cleanup, and grinding tasks where both cord-free mobility and stronger motor specs are valued.
