17 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The DW104D runs at 9500 RPM on battery power and lands at $52.79, placing it in the mid-budget cordless grinder tier. The speed is competitive for the price and the battery-powered format adds the mobility most DIYers and tradespeople value in a portable grinder.
With only 17 reviews the confidence margin is narrow. The 4.1-star average across that small sample is consistent with other models in this batch but carries more uncertainty than tools with 100 or more reviews. The 100 monthly buyers indicate the listing is live and selling, but it has not yet built a substantial feedback record.
The listing does not publish voltage, motor wattage, or item weight. Buyers who need a fully documented tool spec before purchasing should look at better-documented models in the Angle Grinders category. For those comfortable with limited review data, the DW104D at 9500 RPM and $52.79 is a viable candidate.
Pros
- 9500 RPM no-load speed is competitive in the $50 to $55 cordless grinder range

Cons
- Only 17 reviews is the thinnest feedback base in this cordless grinder batch

- Small review count means the 4.1-star average could shift significantly either direction
