I have a little bit older version of that one. Paddle trigger. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

 

is this the one with the metal head? i think dw402? I love mine

 

I don't know the model #, but mine has a metal head.

 

I just buy the el cheapo at Menards for $20. They have a 2 year warranty and can be exchanged right in the store. I usually wear them out in less than 2 years.

 

I have a Milwaulkee (best ever,) and a Makita. The Makita is great too but less power. I accidently bought a no-name one on ebay for ten bucks. Starting bid .99 so I bid ten buck and got it. So I figured that I would just use it for cleaning up weld spatter but the second time I used it the motor caught fire. I think I got even less than I paid for!!

 

My Dewalt has been good, not great, bent the pin trying to get a grinding wheel off. Had to take the nut off with an impact instead.
