Special edition DeWalt x McLaren F1 Team 18V XR brushless angle grinder. 9,000rpm no-load speed, electronic clutch, kickback brake, and mesh dust covers for extended motor life. Supplied with 1x 5.0Ah battery, charger and TSTAK case.

The DCG45MP1T is part of the limited DeWalt x McLaren Formula 1 Team collaboration, a special edition run that pairs DeWalt's 18V XR platform with McLaren-inspired design. Beyond the livery, though, this is a properly capable 125mm grinder built around a brushless motor hitting 9,000rpm, which puts it right at the sharp end for cordless grinders in this size class.

The brushless motor is the headline, but the safety features deserve attention too. An electronic clutch detects binding and cuts power, while a separate kickback brake brings the disc to a rapid stop if the tool gets snatched. Together, they make a real difference when you're working in awkward positions or cutting into material where the disc might catch. A soft start function brings the speed up gradually rather than lurching on startup, which is better for both control and disc life.

Mesh debris covers over the motor ventilation ports help keep dust and grinding particles out of the internals. On a standard grinder you'd expect the motor to degrade faster in heavy dust environments, so this is a practical addition rather than just a spec sheet filler. The rubber overmould on the body improves grip, particularly useful when the tool's vibrating under load, and the two-position side handle gives you options depending on the cut orientation.

Supplied as a kit with a single 5.0Ah battery, multi-voltage charger, and TSTAK compatible carry case.
